A Swing Thought That Won the U.S. Open

Thanks for your Private Message, Nathan. I'm glad you were able to draw some inspiration (and a positive Swing thought) from my Hitting versus Swinging video ("spin...spin...spin the flywheel").

You have asked if others have used that thought with success, and I am pleased to report that the answer is...

Yes!

Larry Nelson won the U.S. Open at Oakmont thinking almost exclusively of using his Right Shoulder aggressively through the Ball. He told me it was "the greatest feeling" to just do that and then "look up and see the ball flying straight toward the target."

Must be a pretty good swing thought!
