I was just watching the Deutche Bank Championship, and watched Camillo's drive on the 18th. He has a tiny backswing, but then just whips through extremely fast on the downswing. Do you like his swing or think it is not rhythmic enough?

His swing works for him. It's really amazing how quick he moves.

There are a ton of pros who have very short backswings. J.B. Holmes is another.

I make mental notes of these whenever I see them. That way, when I'm playing and some random pairing partner wants to tell me that my backswing is too short and I'll never hit a good shot this way, I can bring up people who hit it quite well with a short backswing.

I like his swing alot. To me it looks like he addresses the ball with very square shoulders and feet, but i think his tempo is nice. He hits it pretty far too

I was always told to beware the man with a dysfunctional swing or grip because he's found a way to make it work. A low number doesn't lie no matter how you look at it though, even if he did it with a toothpick or with a one-armed swing.

I have a similar swing regarding backswing length. I swing no further then say 10:30 and i have no trouble distance wise.

Although being 6'5 i dont really need to swing it back alot to get decent speed!

I like Camillo, deffo one for the future!

I think the guy is a fruit. I realize this has nothing to do with his swing, but I just don't like him. Or his swing.

    • @DeadMan, I think your approach makes sense. As @dennyjones said, consistency is the key.
    • Day 204 (22 Nov 24) - Weekly men’s group round today.  Temps in the upper 40’s, WNW winds 5-15mph - was the old man in the foursome (next youngest is my junior by 10yrs) - held my own against them.  Iron play getting more consistent -seeing predictable ball flights and distances. While the consistency coming around still had sone solid negatives as I had two dbls and one triple. On the plus side - eight pars and one birdie.  
    • I don't think anyone will really care.   It's your call.  Just be consistent.
    • I agree, until we are watching the 18th hole in the dark or waiting for the champion to finish and it's been 5+ hours
    • Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though.
