Swing: Henrik Stenson

Förstå Henrik Stensons sving med Pete Cowen

Henrik är en av mina spelare som jag har tränat i över 15 år. Jag ska analysera hans svingteknik när han använder sin pitching wedge. Som alla vet har han en ganska solid golfsving, men det låter annorlunda när han träffar bollen på grund den kraft han genererar.

Henrik is one of my players who I have taught for over 15 years. I am going to analyse his swing technique with a pitching wedge. As everyone knows, he has a pretty solid golf swing but he makes a different noise when he strikes the ball because of the amount of compression he generates.

In the first photograph you can see how much of a simple posture Henrik has with his arms hanging pretty naturally and shaft positioned under his hands. It is a soft set-up which you’d expect with a wedge.

He winds his shoulders and sets his left arm and club into an excellent position. The wedge can easily work up like this.

 His shoulders are loaded here. In an ideal situation, I’d love that right arm to be sat down a little bit more but that’s Henrik’s idiosyncratic movement. He lets his right elbow fly a little bit which I don’t particularly like but it doesn’t bother him because when he changes direction it comes back into the slot pressuring the ground.

His left arm is vertical with the club coming out under his chest and as the hips clear and the left shoulder moves it has squared the clubface up at impact. It’s very stable impact conditions.

Henrik completes the follow through with total body control to the finish.

Henrik ser alltid ut som om han håller klubban lite fel men det är enbart för att han har haft väldigt lite rotation genom bollträffsområdet.
