CRAZY SMOOTH Jake Knapp Swing Analysis (Slow Motion 190 mph Ball Speed) 

Actually yea, Speed Toad linked in this video’s description is the only speed training tool and system I use

All great call outs! That sink at the top is a big power/speed source. And I agree, with that strong grip he has, if he rushes it at the top it’ll be a closed face pull miss

It was a double edged sword; he did not look like a PGA-Tour quality striker coming down the stretch....but honestly no one seemed to be. Maybe the conditions were that tough in Mexico...I don't know. However, his short game was stellar, and his putting was solid. I'd say that was quite impressive because when your swing isn't the greatest, so much pressure is put on the short game at that level that it will certainly expose the player. He held. I hope he is the real deal..I love his story. I remember following James Hahn with my son before he won his first tournament out in the LA Open...he was selling shoes a few months before that. These guys go through absolute hell, almost all of them...when they accomplish a win, it is truly an emotional event I'm sure.

Thanks!

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it

In Jake's case, his pull hook miss is subject to his strong grip, so if he rushes his transition even the slightest and doesn't drop his hands in the slot, he runs the risk of missing with a pull hook. Sounds like you love to draw the ball. Having a +7 swing path is a much better spot to be than -7, so I don't think you need much more than a small tweak. Without seeing your swing that's tough to make suggestions, I wouldn't want to steer you wrong. Could be as simple as your set up, maybe your stance is slightly closed? Always start from the ground up with the basics, sometimes swing fixes can be as simple as that.

Thank you! 🙌

Well said!

Doesn’t get much smoother than this!

That sure helped him close it out!

Thank you! And I think it does bend a bit

It’s funny how sometimes it does look like that!

Very promising career ahead of him!

Always stay fit and healthy!

Interesting catch!

Timing is everything!

Jake has a lot of things going for him. Especially having a great family supporting him

Tempo Town Sr and Tempo Town Jr

I referenced Adam Scott in the sense that these two guys have swings that I think would benefit everyone if they tried to emulate

@@longdrivebryce ok agree completely, still agree knapps rythum is amazing it appears fluently effortless, amazed by the ball speed and yes he won

@@user-pu1js4cg2yeveryone is an expert these days lol

To comment that the finish is the “only” that’s is similar to Adams swing really shows a complete cluelessness about the golf swing in general. Which is true about 90% of the people watching these videos and I’d say 98% of the people trying to play this game.

@@user-pu1js4cg2y so cool to watch out efficiently he generates that speed too, best in the game

Smoooooth

Lot of similarities in that downswing!

Consistent enough to win on tour?

His strength and mobility certainly helps his game!

And flexible torso too.

That’s one of the strongest grips on tour right there

@@longdrivebryceagain, not sure where you are getting this. Are you eyeballing it or have you read it in reports? There are several articles online from reputable writers that claim his grip is indeed neutral

@@ScottyMatthews1 right palm to the sky, back of left hand to the sky, definition of strong grip

You can see the entire V of his thumb on his right hand looking dead from the back , that’s a Hercules strong grip.

It’s one of the strongest on tour for sure
