It was interesting to see his interview at the Deutsche Bank today ...saying "one plane"....I turn back and turn through as fast as I can

It was an interesting interview. Johnny Miller said to him, "You have one of the flattest swings I've seen on a tall man." And then they got into the discussion of it being a one plane swing followed by the comment above. All the comments above aside, those pictures clearly show that Kuchar has a flatter swing than most of his fellow pros.

i went to middle school with Matt in fl and knew him somewhat. we had a couple of classes together. i remember even in the 7th grade he talked about becoming a famous golfer and i a baseball player - kudos to him.  i moved away (nc) and when i came back in the 9th grade he went to a different high school so i never kept up with the kid. funny looking back now, wish i would of asked for golfing tips when we were12

He is strange. That rocking back on his heels thing before he takes it back is unique.

Yes very strange... and one of the best players on Tour. He should play more like an 80's guy like Dave2512 and be less strange.. Lol!!

He pretty much did finishing his round yesterday. That shot off the rocks looked exactly like what I do.

He certainly looked solid when I followed him around one an afternoon. . .

Look at DTL views. He moves back on his heels a little right before he takes the club back. It is subtle. I am not implying he has a flaw or anything just seems to be something he does.

Not at all, and you are exactly right about nuances.  Which practically every player has...  Hes got a great game, hes one of the good guys... and simply saying..

it's easy to nitpick and tear down... if people dont shoot 64 daily..  or they dont all swing like Adam Scott.  ya gotta just enjoy these type of players... even if they are "strange"....

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By tomvk77 · Posted

      I had a few tweeks in the bag. I took out my Mizuno pro FliHi 3 iron replaced it with a Titleist GT2 7 Wood. what a change that is, so easy to hit, it goes so high without it ballooning on me. I couldn't get rid of my callaway woods ( Rogue ST Max LS ) but changed the shafts to Diamana BB 63 stiff for the driver and 73 stiff for the 3 wood. Than i got myself a new putter Odyssey S2S jailbird yes i joined the centershaft family

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By tomvk77 · Posted

      First off all i think you should use the same ball all the time. We all strive for consistency on the course, the only factor you can be sure it will be always the same is your ball if you always use the same. So i think we should always use the same. I recently switched from Titleist Pro V1x to Srixon Z-Star Diamond because it i get a bit softer feel around the greens and same results on driver and irons
