It appears that Ben only makes this move with his woods, btw. That's because it's a full swing. On shorter swings (like iron shots) he doesn't do it.
The section I want you to look at is between the :10 and :14 second marks. This is one of the YouTube videos that lets you look at each frame by merely hovering your mouse over the stripe at the bottom where the little "ball" moves as the video plays. (Start the video if you can't see the stripe, then stop it when the stripe appears.) Here's what I want you to do:
- Make sure the video is stopped. Any time during the video is fine.
- Put your mouse over the stripe so you can see the :09 frame and click once. That will move the video to the :10 frame. (Yeah, it sounds funny, but apparently there's a slight difference between the running video and the stopped video.)
- Place your mouse pointer over the butt end of the club that's sticking out of Ben's left hand.
- Click the mouse once to start the video, then click it again to stop it when Ben's hand is back level with the cursor. That'll be around the :14 mark.
The lesson here is that you don't need to drive yourself nuts building a textbook swing. Even the pros aren't perfect but that doesn't stop them from competing and winning tournaments. And Ben won on the toughest course the Tour has played this year... even tougher than Augusta.
