One of the top players in Asia at age 19. I believe he's 5' 8" but he can hit it a long way with a nice swing. Really like his swing so I thought I'd post it to share.

He would be 6 foot, maybe even a bit taller. I watched him in Asia this year.

Anyone looking for the "next big thing" after Rory, Ryo etc then he is the guy to watch. Cracking swing and bombs it a mile. On the 18th at the Iskandar Open (par 5) there was an option, layup off the tee or hit to an island needing a carry of about 270 yards. Almost all players hit driver at the island (a few hit irons and played it as a 3 shotter) , Noh hit 3 wood so he wouldn't run out of room at about 340 yards.

Expect him to make headlines in global golf in the next year or two.

U.S. Open listed him at 5' 8" along with Yahoo Sports.

I'm hoping he can make some real noise in the coming years.

Might not have to wait long with him shooting a 6 under 66 at Dubai. Lots of big names in that leaderboard.

Did anyone else hear that?! He was 248 from the pin on a par 5 during the second round of the Dubai Classic and hit 4 iron over the flag!! Couldn't have been yards...could it?!

Maybe it was meters!

I love this position in his swing.

Very powerful, athletic swing. Lots of moving parts on the backswing and a pretty big redirection move to initiate the forward swing. His second and third rounds at Dubai reveal what can happen when his timing is off.

yes, everywhere seems to have him listed at 5'8", standing next to him he seemed to have a few inches on height over me. At 19 he could be still growing. Either way, he bombs it.

Really? I don't think he has a lot of moving parts in the backswing. Find it fairly simple. Well I think the redirection is needed for the smaller guys like Fowler, AK, and Noh.

Beautiful swing and a nice amount of lag on the way down. Super smooth...

    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
