J'adore le swing et le comportement de Nelly Korda !
C'est l'un des plus beaux swings de tout le golf, mais je suis trop vieux pour tenter de l'imiter !!! ⛳????????

@Yesman10 says:

Hard to be the best as the best swing is so subjective. Like asking who is the best artist ….

@nastybadger-tn4kl says:

Ugly swing. You trying to make an excuse

@freowho9974 says:

She's a contortionist. She is out of position on the downswing so she twists her way out of it with her upper body. The arms end up to her side. Can't teach that to others.

@artlessons1 says:

In conversation with Woods and Rory, Nelly says she hits down on the ball with her driver, the ball closer to the middle, unlike them. ( not up as you say). On the head thing, Nicklaus (who wasn't too shabby) believed in a steady head, swinging around it as a fixed axis. He tilted his head to trigger the backswing ( much like Millar was duplicating). You're neurotically exaggerating it in your comic of others. Nelly, indeed, has a beautiful swing, but you need to be more accurate with it. More attention would be given to her reaching right hand ( extending out and away), allowing for the club head to be closer to her head.on her downswing, creating lag,

Textbook! LPGA on average has the highest GIR vs PGA. The best techniques across the board are female professional golfers.

@aidangriffiths5075 says:

Justin Thomas is a very yood example of this

@Roy-st5wf says:

Great video

@gabos7892 says:

Nellys got legs for days ????

@johnflorio3576 says:

Best swing on the planet right now.

@pigeon_farmboy2364 says:

Love her swing but Linn Grant has the best swing on any pro tour

@helenaduan9893 says:

Nelly is really great player

@andicoco2318 says:

Best swing (iron or driver) goes to the dominant Korean ladies, but of course they’re not white nor Americans, so they can’t be called as having the ‘best swing’. Also, their putting accuracy is second to none, thus major after major is won by them multiple Kims and Lees. No wonder Nelly’s change in her swing is very much a blueprint of the korean style. Go figure. The best swing goes to those names you cant be bothered to memorize nor pronounce, but golf digest will never publish them.

@Baz303 says:

She's lanky and thin I'm short and fat so find your own swing…like Nelly.

@jamesbaine580 says:

Just a weekend player here but I'm sure It's keeping your head over or behind the ball that's more important than the movement over the ball

@2009Artteacher says:

A beautiful, personally crafted athletic swing!
On the head movement, Millar also acknowledged in the same video clip that was omitted, that Jack Nicklaus tilted his head slightly as a trigger but kept it still. ( believing in a still head) This is certainly not like the exaggerated examples of amateurs given in this video. Also, in her own words to Tiger and Rory, she hits down on the ball rather than up like most tour players.
She is a gift to the game of golf!

@artlessons1 says:

She is the queen.

@Kayleyui2017 says:

Probably in top 20 but not the Best.so many Good Swings in Korea than what Nelly can do.i dont find her swing to my Liking

@johnklaus9111 says:

Min 2…. So you're telling me that bulging muscle in her neck means it's free flowing… No… dude. no….

It's also not physically possible. The neck muscles are stabilizing muscles not rotary or joint style setup.

If you turn your head, you tense those muscles. She is turning her head at min 2…

What you mean is don't freeze your head on the follow through. That's what J M was saying…. ????
