Danny Willett's swing thoughts, how he compensates for a restricted right hip

[nevets88]

Didn't pay much attention to his swing technique during the Masters, but now looking it it closer, I do see he has a tight right hip. I think his finish looks the way it does is because it has more right side bend and extension of the back? I wonder if his back injuries caused him to make any adjustments as well.

 ...the restriction I have in my right hip limits mine. Because of this, my arms would try to create the rotation themselves, swinging in behind me on the way back. I’d then have to cock the wrists aggressively to give the swing its upward motion, meaning I would unusually be both inside and steep on the way back. This narrow position creates plane and path problems, losing consistency.

My solution is a wider, more neutral takeaway allowing me to create a more co-ordinated action that moves the club more up and down the line. I feel the club now works more in front or to the side – never behind. This limited rotation means my power comes from my arms and shoulders.

Here's old swing from 2012, not much hip turn going back.

He still has that restrictive hip turn.

I'd be happy to have that swing right now

Here's a video analysis with the same swing on both sides.... plus it's done with an English accent.
