Louis Oosthuizen: Almost Perfect

Analysis by Pete Cowen, who also coaches Graeme McDowell and Padraig Harrington



DOWN-THE-LINE




His stance is open, which helps the hips turn through









His shoulders are stable, and his right arm is supporting the club.




He's planted on his left leg. This provides leverage




He used to swing straight down the line. Now the club releases back to the inside




FACE-ON




Louis' hands are hanging right under his balance point, the sternum. 








He does a wonderful job of keeping his head still. 





He used to swing straight down the line. Now the club releases back to the inside.



His left heel stays down; he's swinging under control.
