Short and sweet and simple.

=====

Take a look at these 3 for example;

<https://convertkit.s3.amazonaws.com/assets/pictures/2201/116625/content_2016-USOpen.jpg>

From left to right - DJ, Fuyrk, and Lowery.

They don't appear to look alike but these guys finished 1st and tied for 2nd in the 116th US Open.

Dustins swing is built for power. His average driving distance for the 4 days is 316.75 yards. The rest of the field was 286.10

Fuyrks swing is built for accuracy. His fairway and greens, respectively, were 66 and 71% while the rest of the field were 56.90% and 58.36%.

Lowerys swing is somewhere in between these two guys. Fairways and greens both were at 68%. Driving distance was at 295.62 but Shanes biggest downfall was his putting in the final round. The field average was 1.72 and his was 1.83

So what can we learn from from the image above?

If you want to hit it longer, add more shoulder and hip turn like DJ and Lowery. If you need more accuracy, limit the turn like Furyk.

Unfortunately most of us struggle to make even Furyk's amount of turn, and still spray it!

DJ's hip turn doesn't look to be much more than Furyks in that pic.
His shoulder turn however ....

If you need more accuracy, limit the turn like Furyk. Comparing their results to the field and their swings to each other is silly. Furyk hit 1 more fairway than Johnson. Johnson averaged 47 more yards off the tee and hit 4 more GIR. What can we learn from this? Sacrificing 47 yards with driver and 4 GIR gets you 1 more fairway.

and if you play like me, you sacrifice distance, fairways, GIR and putts. You will just get frustrated:roll:
