Check out this kid's swing - A6 and A7. Never seen anything like it before.

His name is Victor Rodriguez out in CA and is a Miyahara student. I'm pretty sure I don't want to hit 180 yard 8 irons as it would put me in traction, but trying to figure out how this swing works.

You didn't have to tell me he was a Miyahira student and I would have known. All his moves are there. Apparently he's done long drive competitions, but his goal is the PGA Tour.

A8-A10 look a lot more like a baseball swing than a golf swing.

He squats down even lower than Tiger ever did.

Try to pause it just before impact.  It works by him having his hands way out in front of his body by impact and he has quite a bit of flex in his left arm as well, shortening the lever.

Couple of videos of him and Gabriel Writer. Pretty cool

The swing is built for power. Basically, combine as many ways to generate clubhead speed as you can into a single swing, and you get something like this. Not the best way to play golf, though. I imagine his miss is probably huge and the swing might not do so well from uneven lies.

Kelvin Miyahira's swing theory is based on the idea that the best swing is the one that delivers the most energy to the ball. Great for long driving, but PGA Tour players are there because their swings allow them to get the ball in the hole in the fewest number of strokes.

I just want to point out something right around the 2:30 mark, where Victor talks about how he made his swing changes. Even a guy that hits the ball as far as he does makes changes by making small swings first, then gradually making them bigger.

Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, that's pretty extreme.

Damn, he's got some serious swing speed.

That is.......interesting. Seems like he's a long drive guy and PGA Tour hopeful. Only scores I could find of him

Long drive and PGA Tour golf are two very different sports.
