Adam Scott’s swing, analyzed by Claude Harmon.

Well, for me if I could design a golf swing this is what it would look like.

I think Adam Scott has the best golf swing in the world, on any tour.

To me he has the modern, athletic golf swing, so he uses his legs as support better than, really any player that I’ve ever seen other than Tiger Woods.

He makes a beautiful shoulder turn, the upper body coils around a very stable lower body. The thing I love most about Adam’s golf swing is he uses the ground for not only support but for power and speed.

He does a fantastic job of keeping his arms and hands nice as wide away from the top of his head. So when you look at Adam Scott’s golf swing one of the things that Adam does fantastic is he keeps the golf club very much in front of him on the takeaway. Adam loves to hit draws. The club head stays very much in front of his hands, very much in front of his body and as he turns the golf club back, his body is turning with the golf club as opposed to his hands and arms working independently away from his body on his backswing.

If you could copy one thing, off of the ball. There’s no wasted motion. The upper body turns around the lower body and at waist high the golf club is stayed in front of his hands, in front of his legs and he’s turning his upper body around a very stable lower body.

What moves first in the golf downswing?

The first move down should be a transfer of your weight to your front leg from the ground up as the lower body leads the upper body.

Follow along with Steve Elkington as he breaks it down, including how to get maximum leverage into impact.

Most golfers are told to TURN their hips aggressively to initiate the downswing. This action is causing you to spin-out of shots, swing over the top, approach the ball at a steep angle and chop at impact, and have a painful looking follow-through.

What’s the fix? Well, you’ve been told to TURN, TURN, TURN, your whole golfing life. Turning is an overused word. Let’s focus on the way the best ball strikers in history initiate the downswing. Yes, the downswing STARTS WITH THE HIPS but we’re looking at the LATERAL motion of the hips. This is CRUCIAL to your downswing being on the proper path to the ball.

The hips should LEAD the downswing in a LATERAL motion first. All great players demonstrate the hips moving toward the target before turning them. The hips don’t start turning until much later in the downswing!
