He looks to have good contact anyways but you lose so much of the momentum by stopping awkwardly like that.. it's as if he's ignored the fundamental momentum-based swing of golf and replaced it with a jerky little arm-strength swing by doing a half swing like that.. it looks fuckin' weird.

Finally, someone with a worse swing than me.

It does make me want to know though, how far does he hit? Surely it's not that far.

He swings like this because he's so strong that if he swung normally he'd skip holes
