The Eight Essentials of Bryson's New Swing

1. Widen the Stance

Alright, this change is both easy to see and easy to do. Bryson has really widened his driver stance. He is now more athletically connected to the ground than ever!

2. Shift More Pressure Back in the Takeaway

In his new swing, Bryson moves a lot more pressure to his trail foot in his takeaway. Notice how much this causes his head to move back away from the ball. The old Bryson was focused on staying centered more like a Ben Hogan, or a Moe Norman swing, built for consistency. However, the increased weight shift is built for power!

3. Increase the Tempo of the Backswing

So, what's going on here? Take a close look at the driver shaft in Bryson's new swing. Can you see how it is already beginning to bend in the very beginning of his takeaway?

Meanwhile, the shaft on his old swing remains straight. Why? Because Bryson has upped the speed of his takeaway causing the shaft to bend. And a faster backswing has the potential to increase his downswing speed as well. Remember though, speeding up the backswing can cost you consistency!

4. Widen the Backswing

Notice, how far Bryson has his hands and arms extended from his chest in his new swing. This increased separation gives him more space to create more speed. And more speed equals more yards!

5. Make a Deeper Shoulder Turn Back

Here again, Bryson is creating more space is his backswing so that he can create more speed. His shoulder rotation has gone from about 110 degrees in his old swing to about 120-130 degrees in his new swing! Just like a rubber band being pulled further and further back creates more tension. Bryson's upper body keeps winding back with his arms running on even after his lower body stops its rotation.

6. Explode off of the Lead Leg at Impact

Check out just how much more dynamic force new Bryson exerts down into the ground in his lead foot during the downswing. As he comes into impact, he pushes aggressively off that lead foot to the point that it comes off the ground. You don't necessarily have to take it to the extreme that Bryson does, but this is a great way to generate power and speed in the swing.

7. Match the Attack Angle with the Driver Degree

With all of his swing changes, Bryson changed his driver to a 5.5-degree face angle. This means he must adjust his attack angle so that he is hitting more up on the ball. It is easy to see the difference, in the image above, between his spine angle from 2016 and now. With his old swing, an old 9-degree or so driver, he is much more vertical at impact. But in his new swing, he is really leaning that spine angle back and bending into his trailing side so that he can swing up at the ball.

8. Allow for Sloppy Footwork

This will sound controversial, but take a good look at just how unbalanced Bryson's feet appear in the finish of his new swing. One consequence of swinging so hard at the golf ball is likely a loss of balance. And when you watch guys like Justin Thomas and Bubba Watson really cut loose these days, it's not uncommon to see them fall off the ball after they take a big swing. Now I know that goes against everything you've been taught about the golf swing, but remember, today's message is all about hitting bombs! It does depend if it pays off or not. A big swing always has a price.
