On Sunday, Nick Dunlap became the first amateur player to win a PGA Tour event in 33 years! The University of Alabama sophomore also won the 2023 US Amateur and the 2021 US Junior Amateur championships… in other words, he's got a very bright future!
The last player to accomplish this feat was Phil Mickelson, and so in today's video we're going to compare their swings to see what we can learn.
Phil Mickelson is one of the most talented players we've seen, and while his swing has worked great for him, it's not one I would recommend most amateurs emulate.

I started playing competitive golf at a young age, ultimately reaching #3 in the California junior golf rankings – just behind another promising young golfer named Tiger Woods. I also played collegiate golf at the University of Southern California and professional golf on the Omega Asian Tour.
I work with students in-person at my studio in Valencia, CA, and teach golfers all around the world through my YouTube channel and on my website: ballstrikingblueprint.com. Thanks for stopping by and drop me a comment if you have any questions or would like to get in touch!

Great video. I have been fighting a steep shaft in the downswing and let me tell you feel versus real is truly a thing according to me videoing my swing. Anyways, one thing nobody talks about is when does the right arm start to straightening in the downswing?
great lesson!
Brilliantly described! I can comfortably achieve this with shorter clubs however, it makes it difficult to get enough height and launch for me. For context, I’m a 5hcp with a driver club head speed of around 103mph. To strike the balance of being able to do this whilst hitting an optimal trajectory is difficult. I’d love to know your thoughts on how to make this movement whilst ensuring not to overly-deloft the club. Could be a great video with the hack motion.
I assume release pattern and its timing, and/or choice of shot pattern would be relevant among other factors? ????
I think the frame at 3:25 pretty much sums up Dunlap's great swing….right elbow is touching the hip while the club is parallel to the ground and you see both of his back pockets…what a great turn toward the target!! I did not take up golf until late in life and although my swing was probably not tour quality, it allowed me to win and place good in quite a few senior amateur tournaments. The secret to me was being able to keep flexibility through the years….I worked at that aspect and tried to keep the swing tight and compact which I think helped the lower body do the work. You do a great breakdown of what happens in the swing!! After I bought your ballstriking blueprint, I told my friends you explained the golf swing better than anyone I had ever heard. Health problems have kept me away a couple of years, but I hope to get back out this year and keep your tips in mind…thanks!!!
Can seniors still learn this? Do you have a Champions tour example?
Phil is a lefty???
I thought Phil was left handed?
Thanks Zach for another insightful mini lesson.
Cameron Smith does it like Phil and Vijay….stable body more ROC on the clubface vs more stable clubface and more rotary pivot. Amazing.
phil is a LEFTY
