Peter: I’m Peter Costas take a look at that swing with our Bizhub Swing Vision
Konica Minolta special look.

Commentator: With the Konica Minolta Bizhub Swing Vision camera let’s take a look at
the shortened golf swing of Phil Mickelson with his driver.

Now putting his spine angle at address, he does a beautiful job of
maintaining the flex in his left knee which helps you maintain his spine
angle to the top of the back swing. That’s a very solid position as he starts
back down to the golf ball let’s see if he maintains that spine angel
because that is a key fundamental to maintaining your consistency but
notice what has happened as he gets to impact the spine angle has changed
dramatically. It has straightened up. The net result of that is he has to use
his hands to help time the release.

How much does he use his hands? Well a real close up of his hands just
after impact and take note of his hand. It is almost completely off the grip
and he uses it to square up the club face. It is a much more solid golf
swing than it used to be but it still has a few timing issues.

Alright Peter.
