Find Out How Bradley and Dufner Can Help Your Golf Swing

Sunday’s 2011 PGA Championship offered a rare chance to see two golfers with highly contrasting styles go toe-to-toe at a high level. Jason Dufner and Keegan Bradley offer completely different swing patterns from which we can learn valuable lessons about golf swing mechanics.

Among other concepts, you’re going to find out what you have to do on the downswing based on the “depth” of your backswing. Understanding this connection is essential for any golfer looking to improve their ball-striking consistency.

We keep hammering this point home because it’s a vitally important concept — one that separates good ball-strikers from truly elite players. Modern tools like an AI swing analyzer can help you quickly identify whether your backswing depth is setting you up for success or failure on the way down.

Dufner, while sporting his unkempt haircut and everyman look, is having a highly successful season. His setup position is worth study by the RST student, as small details at address can cascade into major swing faults.

In his takeaway move, Dufner rotates his hips too early, which sets off a string of backswing issues that many RST students encounter. This early trail-hip rotation creates a shallow shoulder turn that forces compensations throughout the entire motion.
