Great share on this thanks?
He’s such a big scooper… for the Tour thats really bad….wow..shortgame
is really worth more than we think?
Well deserved money winner on PGA TOUR and European Tour!!
thank you sooooo much !!!!!!
@themothmanreturns I think you misunderstand how a proper release works.
the high/low flight is caused by a flip under. In Lukes releases his hands
roll over, so the loft is almost constant through impact. Rory/Tiger/Mahans
hips slow to an almost stop just before impact (Rorys actually rotate
backwards!)-they get their extra power from forced body rotation (all have
shoulders open at impact)
@Tourswing In summary, Luke is able to strike the ball so well due to his
great rhythm and balance but struggles to control it due to his flippy
release. He also struggles to hit the ball far because he releases the lag
too early and because more speed would require more timing and he already
struggles with the timing. He is number 1 in the world because his short
game is the best. He scrambles better than anyone and because his putting
is so good, he makes the most of his good shots.
@Tourswing Thank you for this information. It is imporatant that I practice
the right way. Like Ben Hogan said/wrote in his book: “So many times I have
been watching amateurs at the driving range doing, practicing, the
wrong/faulty movement all the time. When you practise you must do the right
thing from the beginning.” (or something like that).
Luuuuuuke!
@MrFrankie076 It’s not sand , its just where the club was in that possition
and its slow mo
thanks
cool
@themothmanreturns His release looks flippy I agree, but its because he has
more of a hand/arm release and less of a body release. A hand/arm release
is actually much more efficient(requires less effort AND produces more
speed), whereas a body release requires a fairly hard rotation of the body
(eg Mahan/Tiger/Rory). As for accuracy I’m not sure -I think other things
such as timing proper pivot and weight transfer are more important at this
level.
May not of won a major, but still one of the best players thats ever played
golf.
Luke is my favorite player to watch! Love his tempo and perfect swing! Odd
that he does not have a major under his belt but it should happen soon for
him.
Too much rotation in the wrists, alot of timing to be able to control the
ball.
thank you!
i love him.
he reminds me exactly of a nice chef ramsey
If I look at video ‘Ben Hogan Golf Swing’ on yt, I notice that if I want to
get a better hcp, I must not move the hips first but not too much. Please
advice. I saw another video about LD what clubs he has in the bag, and he
has a shaft without a blade and put it on the front of of his pants
(training) – to avoid too much hip moving. What about that?
We can sit here and talk about good and bad releases all day. Luke Donald
is number 1 for a reason. He may have a lot of right hand in his swing, but
please understand that this is a natural move. Take a large hammer and
hammer in a large nail into a door frame. You will square up the hammer
with the right hand (Right handed people). I don’t know anyone who hammers
with their “pulling hand” and if they do, they hammer poorly.
@BradMilligan As a guy who used to teach and also played as a lower-level
pro, I can tell you for sure that the “no-hands” myth has all but ruined
countless swings of amateur players, and more than a few pros too. The
questions for a good player are where the release occurs and how much (and
how) the arms and torso are going to support that release.
Im sick and tired of all these world number one golfers copying my
swing!!!!!! FIND YOUR OWN SWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome vids sir. Enjoyable to watch!
you learn so much from lukes videos
I love the bunker…said no golfer ever
My nickname in screen golf video game is Luke Donald. One of the best
skillful player and good game manner. Such a perfect swing!!
This guy has a perfect swing.
@EagleEyeGolfer Thank you! I am grad you enjoyed it!
