This motion is FANTASTIC!!!! This is definitely a Swing and not a Hit. This dude could be the poster boy for Wrist Throw.
I'm not sure I'd touch this swing too much . . . Could the driver problems be a FITTING ISSUE? That's where I'd start. This dude has great alignments in my opinion. As Mike O said maybe a touch more waist bend could help him keep the Right Forearm on plane a little longer through Impact. I love the Centered Arc and stable head. Love the Left Arm Flying Wedge alignments at the Top. The Sweet Spot, Shaft and Left Arm are aligned perfectly for Swinging and that great Wrist Throw he executes. The only other thing I'd say is that looking at his finish makes my back hurt. Maybe he could "release" his eyes to the target a little quicker to take some bend off his back? Great Swing! |
My best guess is that he has a tendency to hook his driver, and if that is the case it is a result of not a lot of lower body clearing and a turned left hand grip. Personally, I would keep the lower body movement the same and turn the left hand about half as much.

Hard to say, but there may be a bit of bobbing that is the root of misses that tend to be fairly straight flying pulls with some blocked pushes at times. I'd guess that the setup adjustments/stance width are the major cause, but also that at times the pivot takes control too much/hips fire too hard. As a swinger, getting to 'end' will help and still allow for those hips to provide their power. From 'top' position, those hips will tend to get you a bit over the top when you get out of sequence. A few minor setup modifications and keep the mind in the hands, focus on the pressure points. Great work! |
Thank you and Thank you for your constructive comments! No wonder this is the best site in this entire world.
Mike O and EDZ's comments about Dohoon's setup are well taken. I will be adjusting his setup by the time you read this. Thank you. As 12 Piece mentioned, I also think Dohoon can have more comfortable finish like Snead and Els. You should have seen his old swing. Believe me it was huge(?) finish. Mb6606 asked about the pattern of miss shots, and as Matt suspected his misses are generally low hooks. For Matt mentioned about Dohoon's turned left grip, I should tell you about what I found yesterday. I was working with him in my in-door range in front of my computer. His swing looked O.K. So I brought him to an out-door range. The first three drives were the drastic hooks. I explained about the lag and impact hand location. Then he hit several drives jus perfect. After about 10 min rest, he pulled out his driver again. The same thing happend. The first 3 or 4 drives were another hooks. When he hooked the driver I could clearly see the club was laid off during the transition. I figured that something must be misaligned. I checked his grip. Left thumb is about 2:15. Right life line is about 1:30. So I can seen the part between right palm's heel pads. I asked him to turn his right hand grip a little bit more so that the crevis between heel pads firmly cover the left thumb. The laid off disappeared but he said he felt awkward and could not generate power. Then I told him that instead of turning right hand move the left thumb more toward the top of shaft so that it can be aligned with right hand's life line( pressure point #1). The shaft is no longer laid off now, and he feels great. I have to see how he performs with his driver for next several days to confirm this, but I think Matt accurately pointed out a possible cause. Anyway, I finnally get to know his stroke is swinging thanks to your valuable replies. How embarrased I am. I thought he was a hitter. ^^ Thank you and I'll keep on posting his progress.
