He plays golf like an engineer: reducing variables, thinking quantitatively, and optimizing all his advantages. Such detail-focused play should be applauded by golfers everywhere
You want to play with somebody doing geometry on a notebook?
Chill
Well said
QuantiWHAT?!?!?! 😂😂😂😂
Nerd
I loved everything about what he was doing until it got to the 'he plays slow' part and then I immediately understood why people don't like him, haha
Same, I was so confused until he got to that part, then I 100% understood why everyone hates him XD
I was also mad, but he's measuring barometric pressure, so not too mad.
I’ve heard players bitch about it, yet when it comes to the tee box, there he is with his grouping waiting for the next group in front of him to hit. Cannot be that slow
@@Natedoc808 You would be slow too if you had to wait for the group in front of you to get 400 yards away before you can tee off! I would just tell the playing partners to walk to their ball and I will hit over their head when its clear...
@@John-78 lol, problem is he is out driving them all and they don’t play ready golf, so he hits last from the fairway! But HE is the ‘slow’ player.
He's just doing to golf what so many other sports have experienced already: he's a total logical and mathematical machine about it. You can't stop it, all you can do is adapt.
Or you know you can just go ahead and hurt yourself basically ego lifting for golf swing speed and become a total laughing stock...Bryson didn't change jack shit
Me: Reads everyone saying people need to adapt to Bryson's radical new golf style Also me: Sees Bryson is currently 219th in FedEx Cup Standing Hmm, must be some style huh
yeah when your winning your a genius. when your losing your irrelevant. meet tiger woods. oh yeah he's irrelevant
you can easily stop it with a timer. if you need more than 30 seconds per play then you have no idea what you're doing. might as well phone a friend.
@@goprojoe7449 yea I’m confused about that too. PGA Tour rules state tour players are advised to hit the ball in 40 seconds once they’re able to (sometimes 60 seconds) or else they incur a one stroke penalty. The clip of Bryson figuring out a putt looked more than 40 seconds lol. Maybe this rule was added recently?
Tiger changed golf but mostly because he was just so crazy good at what everyone else was doing for years. Tiger is still an old school player with traditional style. His equipment is very traditional golf purist. Bryson, not as good as Tiger was, is doing everything differently, and is truly changing the game. Not just perfecting it like Tiger.
Tiger also brought being in shape and being an athlete with golf. Previous to Tiger not many people were in shape or near as in shape as Tiger was.
No one was as good as Tiger was
@@TigerHoganObjectively false
I love tradition breakers. Upsetting people is a bonus
Yeah it’s only good if you win tho then you just look dumb in the end
You love tradition breakers until you're on the course with them. If the group in front of you is taking 10 minutes to calculate each of their vector putts you probably won't be cheering them on anymore
@@deeepblue preach dude.
@@diskeyes lmao
@@deeepblue If I'm ever playing in a professional tournament, that might become a good point.
Looked and saw you only had 74 subscribers after i finished the video, thought i was watching a major sports channel the whole time. Great quality video!
Great compliment, thank you so much!
@ELPOK19 why a million OP ???
@ELPOK19 패패ㅠㅑㅑ퓨
dude 571 now, I was shocked!
I agree completely, great video.
I was a high school golfer in Seattle from 1996-2000. I was one of the better players in my area and all of us had heard of the myth of Ryan Moore. Moore played at a high school about 40 minutes outside of Seattle and was the best junior golfer in America. I got to play with him once at a tournament in Yakima. He was incredible, I couldn't believe I was playing with a teenager. He went on to play at UNLV and, as was stated in this video, is one of five golfers in history to win the U.S. Amateur and the NCAA Division 1 championship golf tournament. He had a moderately successful career on the PGA tour. I've heard of Ryan Moore.
Same here but we're both from Wa lol
I have a 3 plane swing. 1) Backswing, 2) Forward swing, 3) Whatever plane aligns with launching the club into the nearest large body of water and straight into the ground if no water is nearby.
😂
And then 4) com”plane”
As someone who has no interest in golf or understanding of it or its mechanics, not sure why I clicked on the video. (Probably the hilarious rivalry with Keopker) Just wanted to say this video was phenomenal. Clear, well explained, added graphics for explanation, footage alternate options....awesome. You've turned a subject that is quite boring to me into really interesting. Gold fans need to get to this video.
Thank you! My goal is to inform people who know nothing about the subject along with still making informative videos for those who already know about the subject, so I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@@SportsQuestions I thought you were a solely golf channel, then I went to your channel. New subscriber about to binge watch because we just entered a 7 day lockdown here in Melbourne, Australia. Cheers mate.👍
Stay in school.
I litterally could not agree more with this comment
I also have ZERO interest in golf... always found it boring to watch... but this style of play is FAR more interesting, to me at least.
Some people will play like scientists, some will play like artists, some will play like both. This will never change. I don't believe that golf will ever be conquered by just one approach.
he's making moves like tiger, maybe not as drastically but he's definitely changing the game for the better
Correct. This way.... that way.... If you hit the ball you hit the ball. That’s it!
@@lagota100 Yep your score doesn't care how you got there.
In 10 years(5 if Bryson has huge success by then), someone who is taking a serious look at golf will eventually make the decision of “should I have a one plane or two plane swing”. Tiger is the closest anyone has come to “beating” golf. The way competition has been heating up in the US, Europe and especially Asia in the last 10 years, it is highly unlikely we see someone as totally dominant as Tiger was in the 2000’s. Everyone in the top 20 world golf rankings are just so close in terms of skill you would have an extremely hard time knocking everyone over on any given week. The most consistent players of the last 5 years are a shard of how unbeatable Tiger was in his prime.
Golf is a very personal sport. What works for another is never guaranteed to work for you. It's a game of feel. So do what feels right for you.
"He's winning wrong!" Tears flow, giant snot bubble pops. "Is he cheating?" "No." "Fuck off."
He doesn’t cheat, but he pushes so hard against certain things that it becomes annoying. For example, when he called an official over because his ball was near what’s he called “a burrowing animal” - and it ended up being an ant. He is disliked for a lot of his personality, like most polarizing athletes are.
As someone who never watches golf, I thought it was one of those slow games reserved for ppl with more patience. Who knew even they had limits on players slowing down the game
Only reserved for those with a bank account to support the habit lol
Playing casually, it is and isn't a slow game at the same time. It takes time for players to get to their balls and usually you can only hit one at a time in your group so that takes time too. It's not a fast game but at the same time there are people behind you and people behind them and only so much time in a day to play golf so if you're going too slow, you'll have a course marshall harassing you to move it along.
I can tell you this much...last week at the Wells Fargo tournament at Quail Hollow (Charlotte, NC), Bryson was BY FAR the sole guy there who was going out of his way to be nice to the kids during the practice days. Mind you, due to COVID, there were no autographs allowed. Did that stop Bryson...not one iota. Did other golfers use that as a reason as to why they'd ignore requests from the kids? YUP...Including McIllroy, Mickelson, Fowler...(side note, John Rahm was also VERY courteous to the kids and went out of his way for them). I watched Bryson, without even being asked, go into his bag....sign a bunch of his golf balls, and give them out to kids. He also, without hesitation posed for photos with folks who asked him as he was walking off of greens, onto the next tee box. He was 100 percent, a class act.
Thanks for sharing this with us! Great information about who Bryson is without the. cameras on him!
He is an eccentric intellectual dude. He has a good heart but his candidness can make him seem brazen. He is not a clone that answers in simple cliches. He is my favorite player.
@@jmscovingI like the way you put this. Thanks for the comment!
@@SportsQuestions Thanks it's easy to regurgitate scripted lines from your publicist. Bryson is Bryson And to thine own self be true.
Absolutely love hearing stuff like this in an age of entitled athletes.
I always thought the different club lenghts was dumb, especially the shorter clubs that look like kids clubs. I'm 6'4", so bending over was annoying. I've been using same length clubs for awhile, game has improved tremendously.
I mean if it works it works, but wedges should be shorter than a 5 iron. Less shaft means less lever.
Just started playing golf and as a mechanical engineer he is becoming my favorite player
There's beauty in mystery and natural feeling, but there is also beauty in the deep understanding you can get from precise calculation. I have great appreciation for this style.
Bryson is awesome man. I've watched a lot of vlogs where he's just chilling or working out and he seems like a decent and fun guy.
I agree, he seems like a unique dude who just loves working on getting better at golf. No qualms here.
@@SportsQuestions Thank u for the explanation 👍.I'm only a casual fan,but enjoy watching certain players,and I'm always working,so it's nice for me to shut off and watch a Golf Tournament. .But i been seeing this guy's unusual name popping up with a lot of barbs and snide comments&and especially from the Sexy Blonde chic Page Spiranic(who apparently played the game at amateur level)she makes it clear,she doesn't like him!
True dat.
He comes across as incredibly disingenuous.
@@kinghenry666 and self conceited
It's refreshing someone is challenging convention. He sees golf analytically, breaks it down piece by piece and rebuilds it. And it seems to work. With a major already under his belt I see a very bright future for this guy. Good for him, as all I see is jealousy creeping in from more established players on tour. They should concentrate more on their game and less on his.
The Money Ball of golf!
nah athletes are entertainers. nobody is paying grown men to play with balls like a child for any other reason than pure entertainment value. winning has absolutely nothing to do with it aside from entertaining the masses. he's a parasite.
Hell yeah!
Since he is no longer on the pga tour he and his greedy associates are welcome to the LIV tour where I as a golf fan will not miss any of these lowlife scumbags.
Never heard of the guy before (I don't watch golf), but I like him already. Doing everything to become the best, including stuff that others haven't even thought about, is the way it should be.
He’s also one of the worst players to have to watch, his slow play is agonizing on players and viewers both
He seems a bit stupid. Just from the interviews... doesn't seem v bright?
@@hunterhuff1054 then they should change the rules. you shouldn't ever blame a competitor, especially a professional, for doing everything they can within the rules to gain an advantage. if the way someone plays is an issue, then the ruling body needs to address it. but expecting a player to change something that has brought them success is very foolish.
@@hunterhuff1054 sucks to suck that the potential real meta of golf is agonizing and slow (just like how regualar non golf people think of golf, which is hilarious) massive respect to this guy for having competitive integrity
@@hunterhuff1054 Id much rather watch him take some extra time and them bomb a ball then regular boring ass golf.
This guy is a legend. The other golfers are just lazy and don't want to make the effort he does to take it too the next level lol
The only thing that matters is where the ball ends up
Yah, but having a 350 yard carry while keeping it in play..
Within the rules.
The only thing that matters is how often it lands where it's supposed to
@@JMAC.. what about if it lands, then takes a bad bounce?
It is not how, it is how many.
No one dislikes him because he hits it far or uses same length irons. It’s because he takes 5 minutes to miss a 6 ft put and says things like “I play Augusta at a par 68.”
Exactly..hes self conceited and a know it all
@@DTB1995 like majority of pro golfers :)
Nailed it buddy.
@@INYB yeah, I couldn’t care less who uses em. But the 5 minutes to miss a 6 footer gets old
@@INYB This
I had no idea he was so calculating. Other players will start to use his tactics if they haven't already. Great video my dude!
I am a casual golf follower, so I am aware of Bryson Dechambeau, but didn't know much about his game. This video gave me a new appreciation for his game. Give him the credit to be able dissect every aspect of the game and take advantage of it. Ironic he got a book called the Golfing Machine, and became the Golfing Machine later.
If you are staying within the rules and getting results you aren't controversial you're a genius.
Porque no las dos?
If you see how often he argues with rules officials, I'm not sure he's always within the rules😂😂
@@karllichtenberg4124 there are plenty of times where the rules officials from the booth overrule the on course official because he is right.
@@karllichtenberg4124 Better than just outright cheating like Reed ha
@@canefan17 trueeeee😂
I love it. He made the effort, brought some innovation (that works!) and science to the sport. The talent was always there, he only enhanced it by working hard and doing it differently.
Agree, love when people find their own way to success!
What "Science"? He talks about how perfect his swing is and yet he misses fairways left and right. 🙈😂😂😂
@@Cartman8402 ok. So apparently you missed the shots gained from the drive part completely.
And their is a shit load of money in the line if you tell me I’ll be better if I do it this way I’m doing it for the check! I want a big check like happy gilmour too!!
Moe Norman
Great video, I rlly had no clue Bryson went this deep with it. I thought he just killed the ball. Thanks for the insight you’ve gained a new subscriber!
I wish I learned about him sooner! Think about it : He's getting more bang, with less effort on his body. I'm wondering if his "prime" can actually last longer than most players? A Buff-Nerd-Playing-Golf that's absolutely amazing to me!
I admire the way he plays, because sounds like also lives by my motto: "If better is possible, good is never enough." WAY TO GO DECHAMBEAU!
Facts
I never heard of him (DeChanbeau), but I heard of DeChambeau.
Well said that man he's just exciting to watch he does what he wants and truly masters it. 👏👏👏👏
gtfo
But at what cost?
I haven’t followed PGA golf in a long time but you may have just introduced me to my new favorite player and given me a reason to start watching again. This guy sounds awesome. The maniacally scientific approach he has takes huge amounts of discipline. I also am intrigued by the single length Cobra irons. I need a new set of irons and I really want to try these now.
I love slow play... shooting pool or playing golf, you can always level the field by taking your time and playing your own game. Even in fighting, pace determines victory, and if you can make force or somehow convince your opponents to play your game, your odds of winning dramatically increase. Hope yall keep it in the short stuff✌️
As someone who has never played golf, I enjoy his KZhead videos because you get to hear his line of thought on why he chooses clubs and why he hits like he does. It helps a newbie like me understand what’s going on.
I find the air density thing hilarious. In theory it makes a difference, but since he's a human and therefore isn't going to have exactly the same swing every time, I would think it makes that difference negligible/irrelevant.
I feel the same way. Seems a bit like over-doing it. But maybe if he feels he's in complete control or has knowledge of all variables, he'll swing better. If it works, it works!
But the goal of a pro golfer is just that, consistency. A lot of golfers (humans in general) are complainers and whiners. Air density is a very real thing with pro golfers, some avoid certain regions because the ball wont go as far, if they lose a tournament they will rip apart every physical aspect of the course, the weather, the catering, you name it. DeChambeau is different and in golf, that’s not always seen as desirable, hence why most golfers are douchebags 😁
Knowing the variables in the environment will allow you to more effectively judge your performance and determine if an overshot drive was a mistake in swing speed or an environmental factor.
If his entire game plan is molded around consistency and everything he does is in the name of consistency, it would behove him to consider air density just in case he does pull off being consistent... Which he apparently does.
@@regortex3364 I don't buy this "he's just different" narrative. From all I can see, he has a prototypical frat-boy personality. He's disrespectful to his competitors, to his caddy, to golf courses, to the tour, to his sponsor. He's a phenomenal talent, with an insane work ethic. But there's more to it than him being "different".
Hes not weird.. that word is dissmissive... hes got eccentric ideas on golf... but outside of golf he s a regular fun loving dude
people hate him because he's different and he makes it work, I'd compare him to like the steph curry of golf
@@kaismithley6173 its not that its bc he comes off as self conceited and a know it all
@@DTB1995 The only people who claim that are the ones that are uncomfortable because they can't comprehend what he is doing.
@@baller4542 he is a fucking physicist damn it let him do his mad scientist shit
@@zachryzimmerman4800 exactly, he deserves to play golf his own way
Brysonia is behaving exactly as his old man did at that age. His father however got very sick , had a absolute life altering surgery and somehow came out the other side a completely new man. Went from d-ba* to awesome overnight. Hopefully Brysonia follows suit with the attitude
Does he have a bad attitude? Seems like he's just doing things his way.
Well his dad sure seems to think so. The other day he addressed his ball on 15 up 1 stroke . He was in the fair way right center and wayy down there. Cantlay was behind him and about 40 feet away. Bryson turned around … turned A.R.O.U.N.D and “ Hey Patrick can you stop walking ? .. he knew he was going to do that before they even teed off on that hole. He is a brat. Remember when someone told him to say fore! Or put his arm up when he missed the fairway? He said I do every time! Well video footage shows he did no such thing and the ball flew into a area with people at damn near Mach 8! It’s ok that we dislike him you know. We are allowed to root for who we want to root for .
A great, well pieced video. My favorite most definitely is his approach on pitching, where each club is the same length only different weights. It’s a whole new way of playing. Such a simple set of clubs, yet still versatile
@@danlee5165 Unless they changed it from the f7, yes they have different weights.
@@zenex1741 nope. just different lofts. everything stays the same. I didnt get cobras ( yet ) but I got a set of pinhawks that specialize in same length irons. Ive been playing single plane golf since 2002 ( bad back )... changed my game and now I actually have fun on the course
Absolutely fantastic video. As an amateur (very, very, amateur :)) golfer myself, this was so well explained and produced. Thank you for this. Subbed.
Ryan Moore has had a successful pro career
Yes! Apparently I was ignorant to that, haha. But nevertheless, he's a bit out of place in a group with Phil, Tiger and Jack
That's true, I thought I would just let you know. He has a different golf swing but it's one I can see how it works, very repeatable. Cheers
Yeah, he's done okay, but anyone who doesn't specifically follow golf wouldn't have heard of him.
@@blackie75 true enough
- Ryan Moore
boarder line troll. the calculating of the 6ft put then missing had me laughing!
Minus the slow play, this stuff is cool. Oh, and great video with great format and viewability. Subbed and liked.
Thank you!
He was the top golfer at a rival clovis high school. I was fortunate enough to meet him and play with him on a few occasions. His skill and form is unrivaled, most successful man I know in my friendgroup
Hardly in your friend group if he was some guy from a different highschool you occasionally played?
Years ago a PGA player got so upset with the slow play of his playing partner he left him and played on ahead ( was possible because they were the first group out on the day). If I was a pro and my playing partner was figuring out vectors and air density before hitting his shots I would be 6 holes ahead of him before he made the turn.
Wonder if he was playing with Sergio Garcia!!
That guy just won the silver medal at the Olympics btw, and is still playing amazing at nearly 50 years old. He took a lot of heat for that move back then and a lot of American golf fans wrote him off for good. It was a shame. Rory Sabbatini was always a professional.
@@alexkost1 Ben Crane
Cant they just do what they do in disc golf and say you have 60 seconds to take a shot or surrender a stroke?
Mans original ! All great sport legends challenged convention so hope he keeps it up , the results show👍
I love Bryson. He inspired me to change my course management.
He uses math/science and brain and body, sounds like a complete player to me. being from the valley, ive followed Bryson since his HS:college days. wish him the best
As an economist and a Market Analyst, i love that someone has taken golf to a minute level of numbers to get good at it .... top ledge
Bet you wouldn’t say that when your waiting a half hour for him to putt in a 4 footer 😆😆
@@SLUMP317let's hope he avoids a 2008 style market crash
You clearly have a bit too much time on your hands Mr. Minute +25 handicapper right there at the bottom ledge, especially with those lame outdated resume phrases You indeed have one of the most minutest Ideas of the real world, good luck to you Professor.
"Golf has always been about getting the ball in the hole in as few strokes as possible." Which means hitting the ball as far as you can, and putting really well. "Then came along Tiger Woods and completely changed the sport, by driving really far and being really good at putting". Insightful.
That's one way to take it, haha. Thanks for watching!
I like how after every aspect of Bryson changing the game the narrator gives us an example of when it was done before.
Your background music is the same as another channel that I love. It's called "That Chapter" Now there are two channels that I love, with the same music. Awesome
He’s just changing the rules and doing nothing wrong in the process. I see no problem here. History is defined by those who change it.
Golf is about to bite back though. They should have been working on this problem when the original Pro V came out and the savvy discovered you could instantly pick up 20 yards of distance by lining up the seam on your target line. I think the PGA and USGA are probably considering two major rules changes in 2022 or ‘23. One, a minimum allowable loft on a driver. Probably something in the 5-6 degree range. Two, a maximum COR on driver sweet spots that won’t ever become more generous. Club manufacturers will have to focus on making clubs more forgiving because the distance era is about to end. It has to golf courses won’t keep up.
LIL DONNIE
Yeah the fact that he’s that slow though is annoying. I don’t see anything wrong with what he does except that slowness which can just be annoying.
Isn't it beautiful to see the game being interpreted in various ways? I'm a huge fan of Bryson, I hope he gets that green jacket soon.
smashes it off the tee, and putts like a hockey player...? i recognize this plot.
The beauty of golf is that you have a 18 tee boxes and 18 4" holes and everyone can play it whatever way they like to get it in the fewest strokes.
Beautifully said!
Aside from slow players which are way too common.
@@craigknight4836 ain’t that the truth
Glad to see youtube is reccomending me a small channel. Good video man.
Thanks for the support!
Facinating video, this channel deserves more subscribers.
Great video. Really liked how you presented it - kept me interested to the end :)
Thank you !
Nice - I've got mixed feelings about Bryson but it's great to see his play and reasoning broken down so thoroughly yet succinctly. Great job!
I’m definitely a fan of his. I think his iron approach makes the most sense.
I wonder how difficult it would be to make the adjustment, since club head speed would now be much more constant.
SARDiverDave same here, wanna try out the cobra irons now. i bet if one were to try this approach when learning golf it would be 100x more effective than trying to adapt to it after playing with a traditional set.
@@fezzes428 i tried a buddies set of one length irons a little while back. I personally found them harder to get in the air. That being said, im a bang average player and i only used the for a round so had no time to get used to them.
@@kairothery3596 yea cant imagine doing good with any set after only one round of trial. still want to try them though, hopefully cobra has an event at my local driving range lol
@@SARDiverDave I changed to one length (same model as Bryson) early summer 2020, and it didn’t take long to get used to it. I’m a 17,5 hcp, and I like it a lot. Also changed to JumboMax-grips, which I also love! The season is about to end here in Sweden, but I have a duplicate 7 iron and had the lie angle changed to 72, just to try… and loved that too! So next plan is to have my set changed to 72 degrees lie angle and shorten the irons accordingly. I’m 176cm (5’9) and have always felt a bit awkward with stock length. Bryson has really inspired me to try new things. It is not like I’m hell bent to copy him, but I do like to try his approach, and so far it is something I recommend for anyone who is tempted. 😃 Even got the Cobra Armlock Grandsport 35 putter, though the delayed delivery (like 2,5 months…) made almost the whole summer here pass. 😔
Good video. Thx. Just a small correction: the club head weight differs each club. To achieve the same 7-iron feel for each club, the head weight is adjusted as well as the shaft weight. To achieve distance gapping, the loft and shaft flex are also different per club.
Yes, true. Sorry I did not mention that!
This reminds me of a quote from one of the designers of the civilization games: "Given the opportunity, players will optimize the fun out of any game.", I like all the other stuff he does that just makes intuitive sense. Doing trigonometry on the greens and fluid dynamics calculations on the fairways though, to me is the literal definition of optimizing the fun out of the game.
The two masters of the single plane swing, Moe and Byran, with their record breaking accuracy and distance are disliked due to being so successful by employing a non traditional club swings based on scienctific analysis. The success of Bryson's innovative swing, putt etc do not threaten the Great Game but it does threatens those who have a big investment in time and money teaching and promoting the traditional golf swing mechanics. Bryson, too smart and well educated not to have anticipated the negative reaction to his iconoclastic swing and philosophy would be, and all the more so when he ad the audacity to win.
The most OCD player on tour. lol He's playing the way he wants, to heck with the critics, good for him.
but he takes too long
Same way I was taught how to shoot a soccer ball. The physics of the swings are very similar and I was a geeky science kid so my trainer put shooting into physics terms for me. Cool to see somebody at the top of a completely different sport learn in a similar method.
Probably one of the best videos I’ve seen, ever.
I have been swinging jumbo grips for years. I love his style
They do need to address the issue of the time he takes, generally speaking rules should be applied in the pro scene aswell to how long a match should take.
My solution to this is specifically on the greens, there be a time limit. If you havent gone for your shot within the time limit it adds a stroke. What he is doing here is micro managment. These are things he should be developing a feel for outside of tournament play, if you need a sextant and a measurement for the thickness of the air to make a putt, while... different, completely unwatchable... and unnecessarily complicating it. Theres nothing special about it. Ive bullshit around on putting greens and tapped in the 6ft putt one handed he spent 6 minutes to calculate.... and, miss. Or sink. dosent matter. thats a ridiculous amount of time. This shit wouldnt fly outside of tournament either. People behind him are gonna turn the dude into their new 1 wood club cover.
They should apply a time limit per hole 10 mins fir a par 3 15 mins for a par 4 20 mins for a par 5 to make sure they are on time and make decisions making more interesting with less time available
@@CHROM5917 He wasn't factoring in air density for a putt. That was on an approach shot
Thank you for the great and simplistic explanations. Especially for those of us being new to golf and just starting within the last 5 years.
Thanks for the kind words!
I've recently started playing golf, watching this video is really interesting. It seems that adapting the stroke using physics and personal preference increases consistency. Will need to try some of these out!
Excellent insight into how Bryson approaches the game of golf.. A very interesting vid..thanks..
Moe Norman is The Godfather of the swing Bryson is using.
I’m glad somebody pointed this out. Moe Norman had the most accurate and robotic-like swing I’ve seen. He made it as simple as possible and just pressed repeat. I’ve started indoctrinating parts of his and Ben Hogan’s swings recently. Amazing the talent of that generation
That's exaclty what his swing reminded me of as well.
Moe hit balls until his hands bled ....he was obsessed with the perfect swing. Unlike Bryson, he played so fast his partners hated it. He would walk up with the club already out the bag. Line up and hit as fast as you could think about it. He didn't worry about air density. If r could see the flag he would assess as he was walking what the wind was doing and he knew the yardage roughly so there was no dicking around
@@marklittle8805 perks of hitting over 5 million balls hehe. Moe was amazing.
I had never heard about one length irons!!! I've always despised that they're all different and I need to master a different swing for all of them.
He just became my new favorite player after watching this video. I've always been science oriented and love his approach. I even remember having the idea when I was a kid playing gold to have all my irons the same length! Guess I should have done it.
I don't think he's won since this video was made lol
I don’t love golf, but I thoroughly enjoyed your analysis of how he used physics to win golf, haha!
Haha, I appreciate that!!
He learned from a genius golfer named Moe Norman.
He's made golf interesting for sure. I like him and wish him only the best.
For sure. I like Brooksy too. That rivalry makes golf fun. Its ok to like them both too. Golf needs guys like this.
@@patstutelberg85 again I ask, what is the beef better Brooks and Bryson?
@@pdgutierrez8784 they just dont like each other. Simple as that. Brooks like to play fast and Bryson has been known to purposely take 5 mins for short puts and stuff like that.
@@patstutelberg85 theres no rivlary..theyve never been paired together..they just chirp back and forth on social media like high school girls
People said you wouldn't be needing math after highschool... This man is proving them all wrong
Great video my guy!
Thanks!
He’s a good dude! Watch some of his vids on GM golf when he’s with the guys.
That Chapter intro music....👊😷✌
such a great video man.
Thanks!
He’s doing it his way, the way he believes will help him improve and win. Credit to him for all the extra effort to be competitive. His success comes from hard work and challenging the status quo and his success is deserved!
I'm a fan of DeChambeau. I wish he was around when I first started playing golf 30 years ago. As a tall player, I had problems with the shorter clubs. To make all the irons the same length would've helped me immensely.
Everyone says Bryson Dechambeau brings "science" but I say science has been the absolute *center* of golf improvement from the start... he just brings more *refined* science, and uses the actual term.
Surely there’s some science behind every golf swing, otherwise it wouldn’t work.
I was thinking the same. The dudes at Callaway, Ping, Titleist, etc aren't just throwing materials into a blender and saying "I wonder what this'll do?" They're using science to build better balls, clubs, etc. This guy just does it on the course. It's funny because a Nerd finally showed up in a sport with a bunch of purely athletes and is outthinking them and they're getting all butt hurt about it. "No fair, he's using science & physics to beat us... we should'a paid more attention in class".
I love it when science and athletics come together to completely max out the potential of the player. After a few generations, more and more people will start to approach golf scientifically rather than traditionally. The strive to be the best usually falls in line with survival of the fittest.
I agree!
Keep doing what you are doing Bryson. If I was pro level good, this is exactly how I would do it. 🙏🏾👏👏👏

This was such a great video you got a sub here!
Thank you so much!
Incredible video bro really captivating.
Appreciate it!
I loved how the narrator sayng about his 'muscle mass' as he shows a pic of DeChambeau with a double chin, back fat and belly overhang.
Putting is one of the toughest parts of the game... There is a reason people say "Drive for show... Putt for dough..." Chipping is the second hardest part and second most frequent set of clubs used in the game... I've seen 70 year old people that can just kick the snot out of young kids (Myself included)... Cause their short game and putting is so amazing...
He does not play that slow Anymore though, people are stuck in that even though he goes along the place of the field.
Thanks for the upload
I like how he's got the jordan boost master intro song in this
I think it’s cool each player can have their own style of play. Makes it more interesting.
He’s incredibly strong and insanely intelligent. Those two skills alone make for an amazing golf player. If other pro’s complain and talk shit about him, it’s because they are scared and/or threatened.
Lol , a little overstated but obviously you like the guy
The bit about him being intelligent, it's very hard to argue with that - he's taken his golf game back to first principles come up with a winning formula, he deserves a lot of respect.
@@pkelly20091 precisely. Another great point.
Attended the masters Friday and this guy was a complete goof. Everybody got a good laugh watching him. Lol 😂
I neither play nor follow golf, but I found this video fascinating. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
I've never seen this guy play until the 2021 PGA. When I saw his set up, I wondered how he didn't power hook every tee shot.

Don't we all
