Golf Swing DNA 🧬

One of my biggest takeaways from this interview with Tommy Fleetwood on the is how clearly he understands his own golf swing DNA.

Tommy understands the blueprint his swing needs to follow to function at a high level. He has a toolbox of exercises, drills, rehearsals, checkpoints and feels that are specific to his swing. These act like a multi vitamin for his swing.

He executes the blueprint. He doesn’t jump from thought to thought. He has discipline to execute his blueprint on good days and bad.

What amateurs can take from this, his approach to practice. It’s not just rake a ball, hit a ball, rake a ball, hit a ball. He is intentionally executing his blueprint and not jumping around from thought 💭 to thought.

There is a tremendous amount of intentional training — slow-motion rehearsals, working through feels, calibrating positions and rehearsing what he needs to do to make his swing function.

He embraces the mundane.

There is so much we can learn from listening to elite players explain their own process in their own words.

This is a great example of what intentional practice and understanding your own golf swing DNA can look like.

Impact.

In my view, one of the biggest things that separates elite players and ball strikers from many amateurs is their ability to control the low point and radius of the swing.

With an iron, the low point of the swing is generally 3–5 inches ahead of the golf ball. In other words, the ball is struck before the low point.

Here, you can see an elite ball striker controlling both the low point and radius through impact—creating a consistent strike and predictable ball flight.

Control the low point. Control the radius. Control the strike.
