Brandt Snedeker Swing Analysis: Uncramp Your Impact
One of the most overlooked problems in amateur golf is arriving at impact with a cramped, restricted arm structure. Snedeker himself fights this tendency, and studying his swing gives us a perfect window into how elite players manage trail arm extension, lead side rotation, and club path even when their positions aren't textbook perfect. Understanding the cause-and-effect relationship between your trail hip depth at the top and your available space through the hitting zone is the first step toward uncramping your impact forever.
Check out some of the articles and videos we have that cover, in much greater detail, both the strengths and the improvement areas from this swing analysis:
The tush line concept is critical here. When your trail hip loses its depth and your pelvis drifts toward the ball during the downswing, your lead arm runs out of room. The result is a cramped, chicken-wing impact position that robs you of lag, power, and consistent contact. Snedeker's swing teaches us that maintaining structure in the trail side during the transition is what keeps space available for the lead arm to extend properly through the zone. Pair this understanding with repetition using the GOAT Drill video lesson to hardwire the correct hip depth and lead arm extension pattern into your movement.
Whether you're working on closing the gap between your current ball-striking and your potential, or simply trying to stop flipping at impact, the lessons from studying a FedEx Cup champion's swing are directly transferable to your own game with the right focus and the right drills.
