Swing sequence: Bubba Watson

Published November 10, 2015 01:00 PM

Images from Golf Channel Academy Magazine’s swing sequence breakdown for Bubba Watson.

Thumbnail

The perfect fade setup – Bubba’s feet, hips and shoulders are all parallel and aimed at the middle of the fairway bunker on the right. (Analysis: GCA lead coach Virgil Herring)
Thumbnail

Like all big hitters, Bubba does a good job of winding his upper body into his back leg, generating great extension and width. (Analysis: GCA lead coach Virgil Herring)
Thumbnail

FAVORITE MOVE No. 1: Bubba is almost fully coiled into his back leg and his arms are extended, yet he still hasn’t begun to set his wrists. (Analysis: GCA lead coach Virgil Herring)
Thumbnail

Most players who bomb the ball set the club very vertically and have a high arm plane, which is also ideal for working the ball. (Analysis: GCA lead coach Virgil Herring)
Thumbnail

His top of back-swing position is not all that dissimilar from a young Jack Nicklaus due to the high arm plane and braced back leg. (Analysis: GCA lead coach Virgil Herring)
Thumbnail

FAVORITE MOVE No. 2: His best move in my opinion; his lead knee has pulled away from his back knee and gone from really kicked in to bowed out. (Analysis: GCA lead coach Virgil Herring)
Thumbnail

Bubba’s lead wrist is bowed and his trail wrist is on top of the shaft, which stabilizes the club face so it won’t turn over on him. (Analysis: GCA lead coach Virgil Herring)
Thumbnail

FAVORITE MOVE No. 3: His hips are extending down the line and not at the ball (a common amateur mistake), which keeps him centered and balanced. (Analysis: GCA lead coach Virgil Herring)
Thumbnail

Amazing how he continues to turn his body through the shot even though all that energy has caused his front foot to thrust off the ground. (Analysis: GCA lead coach Virgil Herring)
Thumbnail

The high-handed finish is a sign that he tried to cut the ball and was successful. Probably another 330-yard slice down the middle of the fairway. (Analysis: GCA lead coach Virgil Herring)
