Today we're going to take a look at Peter Jacobsen's golf swing from the face on view and talk about some of what makes his swing unique and interesting.
This swing is from January or February 2006, and shows us some of his one plane swing moves.
We'll start, as always, at setup. We've drawn three lines on the image; two red lines to show the position of his legs and hips at address, and a vertical line showing the position of his head at address.

As you can see, the trail side of his head is about two or three inches behind the ball. He's pretty centered here. His spine angle at address is fairly vertical – he hasn't tilted excessively away from the target. His shoulders and waist are as horizontal to the ground as they can be.
It looks like a very sound golf setup position. He's got a little bit of angle in the trail leg for support and stability as he braces into that side on the way back. Overall, it's a pretty stock address position.
