Mistake-proof Your Golf Swing Like Bryson DeChambeau

Can you have a golf swing that is mistake proof? This is exactly what Bryson DeChambeau has been displaying as he continues to be one of the most successful players on the PGA Tour. Even though I don't really believe in "secrets" I do believe that swing secrets are simply biomechanical advantages established from how you position the body to strike a ball on the ground with a stick.
The Single Plane Golf Swing Book: www.amazon.com/gp/product/161...
What is a mistake-proofing a golf swing? It means that you have a biomechanical advantage. It can be described as a position of the body that creates an advantage whereby eliminating variables. The elimination of the angle of the wrist at address, fully reaching the maximum ulnar deviation of the lead wrist, created a biomechanical advantage for Moe Norman and is also why Bryson DeChambeau is quickly becoming the next great ball striker on the PGA Tour.
We call this elimination of the angle - The Single Plane Golf swing which starts the club, through the proper ulnar deviation, on the same plane as impact. The Single Plane swing a biomechanical advantage, and not a quick fix golf technique. It is a system, beginning at address, that simplifies the most important moment of the golf swing - impact.
Starting at address on two planes where the arms hang straight down at address, the Conventional golf swing is complicated. Because the arms are hanging straight down, a conventional golfer must lift the body into impact creating stress on the back.
This upward movement to accommodate the two planes is unnecessary.
The Single Plane Golf swing simplifies the golf swing by eliminating the need for the upward movement by starting and impacting on the same plane.

Holy Cow!! excellent video. I've golfed for 20 years. Tried it at the range Friday, Saturday 18 holes, Range Sunday, Sunday 18 holes, I hit nearly every single fairway. What shocked me the most - the ball flight path - solid straight forward with no fade or draw - perfectly straight! Eyes on target - ball goes there. I'm loving this so much. Thank you for breaking it down in a way which translates to the average golfer like me. I also applied to my rescue - clean , perfect contact with great ball flight and distance.

Chiropractor here. As someone who studies human movement this makes complete sense. Everything about close packed positioning is correct. The same principles we apply to manual adjustments to repeat consistent treatments every time. When I watched Bryson drive his way to US Open victory I wondered how he could rip it fearlessly down narrow fairways with devastating rough either side. Now I realise that his swing eliminates deviate movement errors using this method. Amazing work! Thanks for the video

I adopted this swing in the mid '90's from the original Golf Digest tape. Made me straighter, just as long, and no more back problems. It's liberating to know that when you stand over the ball, you'll make more solid contact and it will be straighter and in play. I had the privilege to sit with a half dozen others before an exhibition Moe did near where I live and listen to him talk about not just the mechanics of the golf swing, but on the mental side. 'If you think you can, you will. If you think you can't, you won't." And that's a lesson for more than your golf game. Nice too see you carrying on his memory Little Moe. M

As a 51 year old low hcp player with massive back pain past 2 months it AMAZED me going to the range only bringing that driver to check if rumors about less strain to ur back is a reality!! Ball #1 was unreal (trust me ... i thought this was crap before i hit a ball... just needed to try anything) ... it didn't only go straight AND longer than my average .... it took NO EFFORT other than strong comfortable setup and turn = bingo! I hit all 50 balls incredibly well and long ... faster ball speed and club head speed without me trying it ... flight was higher and more staple ... timing was easier ... BUUUUT if timing somehow got wrong i was on another planet right or left :P Average of those 50 (my first 50) like this was around 308 yards ... that's massive for an "old" guy with hcp 3 .... so i would suggest people trying it ... gradually getting there and back to their old swing to figure out where their middle is. Good luck .... loved it ... thx for that NO PAIN SWING ;)

I am a Bryson fan now but always was a Moe Norman fan BUT couldn't grasp his "positions" - you clarified them now. I am still not consistently straight but when it "comes together" it feels amazing. I used to hit them slightly left but a comment I saw when you explained the "slightly-still-open-face" just before impact might solve this for me.

@@malleus9778 Not the OP, but I realized that I have gradually been doing a very similar swing over the years based on what's been successfully for me. My guess on the slice elimination would have to be somewhat related to the ulnar deviation of the lead wrist. From the few videos on eliminating a slice I've seen from guys like crossfield, now this guy, and a few others, that essentially helps the club release with a more in to out path and keeps the club face closed. That promotes more of a draw/hook than a fade/slice. I've since moved into a push draw from a push slice. My miss is now just a block right vs a 60 yard slice, but when I hit it right it's a nice draw.

Having the left hand "weak" (the back of the hand facing the same direction as the club face), and act as an extension of the arm changed everything. I also performed the other address positions and did the sequence best I could. No more slice! Had a few fades and still eff'd up a few shots due to careless alignment etc, but it was the best driving day I've had in a very long time. I just need to work on some flexibility in the back swing and timing but it really works. You can definitely get real serious power once you're able to sequence correctly and fully turn properly. I dont mean to sound too over the moon like a shill or something but before trying this, I was push slicing literally every single time and went to using my 4 iron for drives so I'm pretty thrilled.

One friend has now suggested I watch Bryson DeChambeau videos. He noticed that I have a single plane swing. They all think it is unconventional. But it has been working for me. Being that I have only been playing for a year, I am not very consistent. But. On days that I am, they get so mad at me. I out drive them by about 40 yards. And I use a club or 2 below them for irons. They want to hit it as far as me. I am glad that I found this page. It am sure watching and practicing will help with my consistency.

You are right Todd in what you say that the single plain is the only way to swing the club and have consistency!

I was 21 when I took the game up, am now 69 and now playing my best golf ever due too watching your video's - and Moe's! But still I was not consistent as there were times I was pulling the ball left! I clicked onto Brystons grip video and he showed us how one should hold the grip in the left hand which stops one pulling the ball left - ever!! I tried this grip and it changed my game! When you think of it - put your hands down by your side and look down at them - the v of your thumb and forefinger points to your shoulders! Yet golf tips on the net tell us to have our Vs pointing to our right shoulder! You are a great instructor Todd who does not need a board too read off as you have all this knowledge stored inside of you desperate to inform the world and that is what I love about you as you inform us viewers with your heart behind in what you are trying too put across to golfers and I can assure you - we hear and feel you!

@@tristenlarson8268 I have had a couple of issues staying consistent, because of being lazy in my setup, so my old swing starts to creep in a bit and of course i’ll hit a bad shot. But when I stay consistent with my setup, I definitely play better and score better.

@retired8123 4 жыл бұрын

You didn't talk about the left forearm variable which I heard Bryson say took out the inconsistency of his accuracy. He supinates his left forearm (rotates to left max) ...so he wont have issues closing the face at different rates and amounts . If he has his forearm more turned right (pronated) his arm is not at end range and timing gets involved with squaring the club face. From this position you can get flippy with the left forearm through the hitting area

The limiting the variables is exactly what NASCAR has gone to over the years with bottoming out the suspensions. It creates a consistency every time and the driver knows exactly how the car will react. I will be working to create the muscle memory for this swing. I will be watching many more of your videos and I hope to find drills that will help create the muscle memory. Thanks for the video explanation.

I have always wondered about hand position. High, low, in the middle. A few times I have tried the single plane without knowing the name for it but assumed it had to be wrong since no one taught it. At the range yesterday I decided to try it again. I hacked about a dozen terrible shots. Then stopped thinking about it and just used the single plane setup and used my regular swing. I hit every club in my bag and it was effortless connecting solidly. No worry about inside out or any other movements I have been taught. Just turn and hit. With just that small change I felt more compact and not all over the place trying to hit the slot. I have not tried keeping my back foot down so for now the swing is still conventional except for the setup. I figure one small change at a time. I have watched Moe videos before but never understood what he was doing different. You videos are great in explaining what he was doing. I spin out a lot as I straighten my front leg and wondering if I am able to hold my back foot down if that might stop it. Now that I am watching again I have no idea how you can keep your back foot down. Or am I misunderstanding something. I am 65. I am thin and still have the ability to get a full range of motion but over time I know that will go away. This swing looks like it should make those older with less flexibility be able to keep hitting as there is less moving parts. Any thought on that.

I really like your videos! I'm slowly trying to find my way towards a single plane swing. I did notice a funny thing when looking at some of my old shots, that in the past I've actually had pretty close to a single plane swing, but not being aware of it and still tried to solve my problems with more common tought methods. I feel like I'm on the right track now! I know it is not necessary, but I've even gone for a set of Cobra King Forged One Length clubs, and I'm waiting the delivery of JumboMax Ultralite XL grips. I tried the JumboMax-grip on my old 7-iron first, and I think that will be a great addition to all my clubs. Chipping with that 7-iron feels so good that I can't wait to get the same feeling with all my irons. One thing in particular that I liked about this video was your point about the overrated thing of being relaxed. Being relaxed for me is something that works on a lucky day, then it is easy to praise it as a good thing. But on an average day when that relaxed setup and swing fail, and the temper heat up, the blame often falls on "I'm not relaxing!". When it's really just proof of inconsistency in the swing. Sadly I hurt my back on the course a week ago and I'm so eager to get back out there and continue forward. The new grips should arrive during the week, and the week after my vacation starts. I've played golf on and off since I was 10 (I'm 34 now) and I've never been more excited about the game. I do look a lot at Bryson, and I feel that watching your videos which are explaining more about the details of the single plane swing is really going to make a difference for me.

@abhardwoods4830 11 ай бұрын

I get this video is 3 years old, but even watching his swing back then (as seen in this video at 9:00) Bryson is straightening his left leg before impact. If you watch any of Bryson's own videos you can see that he specifically states that the left leg straightens or "posts" before impact and that he pushes up and off the left leg towards ~11 o'clock.. Moreover, he states that being tall and pulling the handle upwards through impact increases the force on the handle and the speed of the clubhead, and that this motion helps with making an upward angle of attack that allows one to hit up with the driver.

One little swing thought which helped me on the follow through was to lift hands up high as I ltjink I have the tendancy to release left putting left to right spin on the ball. This was allowing me to launch them straight 👍 Appreciate this thankyou

@robertlongo4571 3 жыл бұрын

Todd thanks - Years ago I read the Jack Nicklaus Book - Golf my Way and completely misunderstood what he was saying about the position of a straight left arm (he was talking vertically, but I assumed he also meant horizontally). An important contribution to my error was I had also read the Ben Hogan circular 'Pane of Glass'. To achieve both it led me to an Ulnar Deviation position and a single plane swing as the only logical solution. Unsurprisingly without fully understanding I became a good striker of a golf ball. Some years later I had a very bad spinal accident (I wasn't expected to walk again). Never giving up and looking for a way to continue playing without pain I experimented with as you say the more conventional methods = poor play with me assuming that was my Spine. Recently with a long and successful full recovery I've returned to Moe's method, but this time thanks to you and this Vid I now understand what I'm attempting to do. So far the Swing feels co-ordinated, precise, powerful and faster just as it was back in the Day.

@hm_uk 3 жыл бұрын

Todd, this is a great explanation of how the swing can be simplified by reducing variables; the biomechanics are spot on. I just want to touch on something you don't which is the underlying biomechanics of the conventional swing. The body is great at assessing and creating efficient motions, often influenced by environmental factors. At address, the seated postion, with a hip tilt and dropped arms represents the most balanced and efficient posture for the act of addressing the ball - the CoG sits in the middle of the feet and the only extraneous force is gravity. Now at impact, the body influenced by the centrifugal effect of rotation created from the top of the backswing moves into its most efficient position at the point of impact; manifested as complete linear extension from the shoulder through to the clubface. It's nearly impossible to be at any other position unless the centrifugal force is weakened due to slow swing speed thus being secondary to the downward effect of gravity. Subsequently the one plane swing requires an 'inefficient' address, and I use that word loosely because what you've described is the flaw in prevailing logic that doesn't account for address being a precursor to impact, but often looks at address in isolation. So the one plane swing will always feel unnatural at address, but as you correctly point out, the reduction in variables results in huge efficiency upside through to impact, and point of impact is the outcome, not address.

@ToddGravesGolf 3 жыл бұрын

Great point. Love your explanation. I guess in my simple mind another way to explain this would be to consider a sprinter. The most relaxed position at the starting line might be to simply stand at the line and then start sprinting however, the task is to sprint quickly from the start. To do so requires the starting position of the sprinter where he is leaned forward with legs bent against the starting blocks. The important thing to note is the task - which is to run quickly and in golf it is to move the club quickly and achieve impact correctly and consistently. . Thanks for the comment.
