Camillo Villegas

[Jack_2251]

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?

[Spectrums]

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

i like it less of a swing more control better and better contact

I think it's a pretty bad swing. But whatever works. -8 doesn't lie.

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.

being 5.7 and only 160lbs.....and hitting the average distance he does......sure I like his swing :D

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 like it, he hits the ball long, and it's good for consistant ball striking

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.
