There are a few basics in Jon's swing that go against the typical way you're taught to swing. The primary one is that Jon drops straight down from the top and doesn't shift his weight forward until later in the swing. That's right -- Jon Rahm stays back on his trail leg as he makes his downswing.
Let me quickly list the basics of Jon's swing that Mitchell mentions.
- wider than normal stance
- more of a sitting stance
- short flat backswing
- drops straight down on the downswing
- stays back on his trailing leg longer than most
- uses his legs a lot as he strikes the ball and finishes his swing (the leg drive allows him to get his lead hip out of the way at impact)
If you aren't as flexible as Dustin Johnson, you could do a lot worse than copy Jon Rahm!
