Rickie Fowler on His Swing Changes

[iacas]

On The Smylie Show yesterday, Fowler talked about his swing changes and how he played with them while continuing to work on them:

“I mean, the biggest step was when I got a little time to talk with Butch and start working on some stuff before Napa (Fortinet Championship). And I went out to Napa feeling, I wouldn’t say uncomfortable, but I didn’t feel comfortable with where the swing was and how it felt because it was pretty foreign and new,” Fowler admitted on the podcast.

“And I just went there and continued to trust and exaggerate as much as I could while actually playing. It’s one thing what you can do and exaggerate on the range, but when you’re actually out on the course it’s a little harder to exaggerate. So that week, seeing the shots I was able to produce, how tight the lines were…I think that was obviously the first big step was seeing kind of some results and feedback to mentally help myself kind of build some confidence, momentum and then went from there. Didn’t play great in Vegas, but ended up in the final group and finishing second in Japan. That was the start. And that gave me something to go into our little offseason to work on, continue to grind. And that’s what put me in the position to go to the West coast and then move from there.”

He should move into Butch's guest house.
