The strange swing...once more

This time you get to see his practice swing as well. As you can see from the audience, the man already got himself a fan base at the club.

Again, if you aren't a facebook user, message me I'll give you the login info of my extra account, it's worth it.

Seems pretty fake to me.

That's just crazy. If I remember right from your last thread this guy claims he learned this swing in Scotland and swears it is the "correct swing" but only hits his driver 150 yards.

I would think eventually a thought would come into your head that says, "Maybe this isn't the correct swing considering I only hit it 150 yards". I can't imagine he's very accurate either. Looks like the club comes in crazy steep on the downswing.

Looks to me like they are applauding just because he manages to make contact. The whole, goofy step set up is pretty hokey.
If the guy did that all the time, on all shots, and was a low hc, I'd be impressed. Otherwise, it is basically like watching my buddies goof around doing the Happy Gilmore drive. Funny and applauded when they connect but not anything you would use to actually play with.

Man, that guy has an awesome "power Fade"

People are mostly making fun of him of course, that's why they are applauding. Indeed, his drive doesn't go farther than my 9 iron, maybe even PW. And it's almost always a slice.

As I said before that guy is not 100% mentally sane, or else he wouldn't be doing what he does.
