Bryson dechambeau...anyone changing their setup and swing due to his success?

[JD3]

Not me. Not now anyway

[Dave D]

got me thinking about an arm lock :lol:

[Hawkeye77]

I tried on a very nice wool version of one of those style caps at Royal Dornoch while on vacation - my daughter simply looked at me and said, "No, Dad!".

 

That was the extent of my foray into anything related to BDC.

[MK7Golf21]

I cut down all my shafts today, put a wind barometer, level and TI 80 in the bag.

[pwahmy]

Not me. Not now anyway

the guy is a literal genius no way to copy him (for me at least) without having his intelligence + talent

[BrianMcG]

Crap, I just got used to bowing my left wrist at the top of my swing.

i dont know about that

 

the one good thing it appears about his technique, is that knowing where the plane should be at all times allows him to swing harder.

 

the one bad thing for me at least would be getting used to the upright lies ... standard already looks unplayably upright to me.

[dlanerie]

Not changing my swing, but testing out Jumbomax grips. Early results are promising.

[DNice26]

Has me reconsidering an MOI build setup with smaller length gaps between sticks.

[Obee]

Yes, I am setting my hands MUCH higher with driver as a result of watching him.

You're kidding, right?

 

His mental prowess as a math/science whiz (which may or may not be genius-level) has nothing to do with his golf swing and the fact that he uses a set of (mostly) same-length clubs.

 

Anybody can try to emulate that swing -- and many people would probably have solid results by incorporating some/most/all of what he does. Some would hate it, of course.

I switched to a mid-size grip recently AND built up the right hand with three extra layers of tape to greatly decrease the taper. That does change the swing weight, though, so you have to be careful.

It is a great way to putt

I believe you skipped over the “(for me at least)” it may work for a lot of people but too much thinking and would drive myself crazy. Have a good one

Golf instruction needs to STOP making great players about their anomalies.

[GoGoErky]

Not looking to any time soon it’s his swing with his concept of irons. I’ll do my swing and enjoy golf the way I have without tryin to change my swing

[b_f_c_99]

Dammit Monte you've been doing this for long enough to know that somebody doing something weird, that works for them means they have 'the secret' figured out and everybody should damn well get with the program. Next time I'm at one of your clinics I'll have my single length gear in hand, I'll be expecting a thorough explanation of how to get my vertically challenged body to emulate Bryson. And if that fails I know you have the Hogan 'secret' figured out as well. Even though my knuckles don't drag the ground when I walk I'm sure we can make one of those guys swing work for me!

[eagle1997]

Interesting. Did you adjust the settings on your driver at all?

 

I’ve been playing the F7 One Length since late last year.

 

It took a decent amount of time for me to adjust... and I still have BAD days (pun intended).

 

I immediately loved the longer 9i and wedge tho, especially the built-in increased peak apex, as I never was a high ball hitter to begin with.

 

As always, Your Results May Vary.

[Grizpharm]

No but I changed my swing due to Dustin Johnson’s success year. Half way through my round decided my 105 SS wasn’t doing it so decided to try full DJ. Started swing about 130 mph now and couldn’t be happier. Distance improved greatly and scores dropped. Don’t know why I didn’t do this years ago!

Not sure what you mean by this, Monte. Can you clarify, please?

Means copying good players anomalies just because they have success. Dustin Johnson extreme bow and huge right side bend for example

That's what I thought, but wasn't sure. Thx, Monte! ;-)

[JD3]

what he's doing is more than an "anomily" like DJs overly flat wrist. BD's approach requires a whole different set of equipment

[596]

I've played and still play every once in a while a set of single length irons. They are fun to play with. They are also a few degrees upright from my regular set.

 

As for Bryson. Good on him for winning without a "normal" swing. I think it's fantastic for the game of golf.

[WHC888]

since Bryson's 6-PW are single length (6 iron length) irons, the only distance differentiator would be "loft". does that mean he would have different trajectories for each club in contrast of normal pros that have "one "optimal" trajectory throughout the bag??

[Zitlow]

If Bryson continues his stellar play it will be interesting to see his impact on swing styles and equipment set up.

[stunted]

With his work ethic he could be winning with any swing.

[dlygrisse]

No but I was thinking about an Instagram model for a girlfriend.

[MK7Golf21]

No but I was thinking about an Instagram model for a girlfriend.

 

I was waiting for her to meet him on the green for his 2 wins but was a no show. In fact I didn’t see anyone there for him on both wins

[wrmiller]

I am a documented genius, according to Mensa, but I think my hand-eye coordination is a bit better as I have no need for straightening/locking my arms to hit a golf ball with any consistency. To each their own.

 

His swing is no worse than Jim Furyk's from a style perspective. But from a shear accuracy standpoint I'd take Moe's swing over Bryson's. But that's just me. :)
