Game held up pretty good against Eldrick in the Match Play deal. He pretty much matched him shot for shot if not better from tee to green . . . then Eldrick putts it into eye droppers from 50 feet. He is a bad man . . . and the other'n is one Badds mutha too.
I think it looks better in pics than in real time.
It's only my uneducated opinion, but it just doesn't look quite right. For a swinger it looks a bit short and flat, like he doesn't have time to prepare for the downswing. I think it might be because there's a lot of body turn but not much arm swing.
He looks like one of the best ballstrikers on tour from face-on, from down-the-line he looks pretty average.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
Badds' ball striking has improved a ton. Bennett and Plummer have done a good job.
As an aside. I recently had the chance to hear Eric Axley's brother discuss what he was doing with B and he is very excited about where his ball striking is headed and he could always putt the lights out. His recent form bears that out.
What exactly looks average from dtl? What do you prefer?
I'll clarify by saying he looks average on tour from dtl. I don't like how he swings the club away from his body after impact, I like to see the arms stay in close to the body and the club to exit below the left shoulder after impact (like Hogan). So long as this is done with the pivot and not with excess club rotation the release of the golf swing will be more consistent.

Good explanation. I see your point there. Why do you think he does that?
And how could he fix it and still hit the medium trajectory draw he likes to hit?

Check out this slow motion driver swing of Badd's. Make sure you turn off the sound.
