Ball striking rank 2010=#6, so he's consistent Second thought: Well, I guess putting is important: #183 in total putting in 2011 [VIDEO]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAjZR4uk49w[/VIDEO] [VIDEO]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LDvfhAZe4I[/VIDEO] [VIDEO]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FySvL35yfcI[/VIDEO]

Got these pics off a video an instructor who did an analysis of his swing so P8 is a little off.

Definitely a good one to use as a good example of an efficient motion.  Dynamics are great, all the pieces moving in relation to one anther which gives it flow and makes it look good.  Things that stand out to me is how close he keeps his elbows together compared to other players and really squeezes the elbows together from P4-5.  Just looks like he could make the entire motion with a ball between his arms.  Keeps his head very centered.  Can see he does this losing flexion in his rear leg, shoulders and hips turn on an incline plane.  Returns to P1 knee flexion at P5, which is ideal.  Using a strong attachment (grip) and has the hands raised higher at P1 than "average".

Here's some Trackman data that Erik shared a couple months ago.

Thanks, much better DTL than I could find. He looks like a beer bellied Robert Rock at P4. Amazed at how close Boo gets his elbows, considering his broad upper torso.

Would you say his shoulder turn would fits Flat or Rotated?

Is it flatter than you would like?

If it is flatter, how does he keep his head so centered?

I was stunned by the stats you quoted, because Boo had a terrible year. No top tens, only one top 25, missed ten cuts. Drive for show, put for dough.
