Tell us what you're thinking...and oh, if you want a pic to show with your comment, go get a gravatar!
between :29 – :30…during his downswing, he really does obviously have his lower body turn in the other direction(opposite of where the club is moving)…wtf…
It’s amazing, right?! I think it works like a whip where you pull the handle back to give it extra snap in the tip…. I’ve seen hips stop in really long hitters which sends the acceleration out to the club head but I’ve never seen them recoil like this… insane!
Don’t mind the posture for too much if you can hit well and can do it for multiple time just stick with that feeling.
Check out my swing please :]
He keeps his shoulders back way too long when his hips unwind in the downswing. This prevents his arms, hands and club to be lowered by the hips unwinding and therefore he increases knee flex to lower himself in order for the club to contact the ball. He should let his upper torso go along with the unwinding of his hips. Otherwise a very very talented golfer.
he does lag but who gives a fuck it works for him
I agree that it works very well for him, as 2009 was a great season. But in the future it could cause consistency problems, as it has for Sergio Garcia and other similar swings where the body outruns the arms and hands in the downswing.
hey u should write to him and tell him his faults. then maybe he could improve from number 10 best in the world? only a suggestion
with your expertise of the golf swing you should easily be able to surpass rory in the world golf rankings… you’re right;) his swing totally sucks
it looks like he has a lot of lateral movement, like me except he can hit the ball haha
this screams future back problems although it seems that he doesnt squat as much anymore. other than that…great swing
@YoshNaGosh HES 20 YEARS OLD
Great swing, for those comments about the body out running the arms and hands thats why he hits it so far! its lag, you should always start the downswing with your left hip as this is what drops the club onto the flatter plane on the downswing, otherwise he would throw it over the top and cut the hell out of it….
great swing ! well he is from ireland
Check out my Rory McIlroy video!

This guy has a long and prosperous career ahead of him, unbelievable golf swing. One of the few players who truly uses the Ground as leverage and swings the club with his lower half, like Tiger (or Hogan). There is one part of his hip rotation that experts say defy the laws of physics when at :29 Sec, his hips actually redirect back to the right somehow….its quite puzzling how he does this, nonetheless, incredible move on the ball, he will be around for a long long time!
@thepackage11 I see what you mean. when you look at it full speed you really notice it. Weird how he does that, but doesn’t seem to affect his swing!
Wow you’re right with that hip. Almost looks like a glitch or a spasm. Is that constant in all his swings or just here? Is that a good thing?? His clubhead speed at 5ft 9 is out of this world.
I made 3 birdies earlier! One of them was from a 40 foot chip and run and ting! Can you believe it?
Thanks. Now I cant see anything but that !!
in current news. It seems he has back problems at the moment but its as you said. He is 20 years old.
hes got an over swing chopper !!! lol Jokes :p
sooooo much lagggggggg his body is facing the target while the down swing is happening crazzzy
back problems are from that unnatural redirection of the hips on the way through, everybody has seen it on this video at this stage, doesn’t look three healthy for the long term?!?! major Rory fan thou!!
My god that lower body action!
