It’s not often you see a tour pro analyse their own golf swing. But then again, it’s not often a character like Bryson Dechambeau comes along. The flamboyant American certainly doesn’t do things the conventional way.
Taking a break from playing his favourite online game – which has been the talk of social media – the 26-year-old was asked to analyse the driver swing of a skinny fellow from back in 2016, and he duly obliged.

There’s not a whole lot different in the set-up, although his stance is wider now – at least, I hope that’s what he meant – though I’m not sure it could’ve been much narrower than it was before.
From there, he’s changed what he does with his forearms going back so you’re going to see a different topline position. I can only assume he’s talking about the position at the top of his backswing.
And at impact, DeChambeau references his desire to emulate Hogan, stating: “I did pretty well [in 2016] but I’m doing a little bit better now.”
So things don’t appear to be too dissimilar mechanically with the man himself admitting he still likes his 2016 swing, but believes he’s now on a more consistent path. I guess time will tell.
Do you think Bryson will be better or worse for his body transformation? Let me know in the comments or send me a tweet. Follow the action in Abu Dhabi with NCG online or on Twitter.
