Bubba Watson Swing Analysis: 3 Moves to Be "Bubba Long"

Published: November 21, 2025

In this Bubba Watson golf swing analysis video, you'll discover why he's one of the longest hitters in professional golf history — and what you can borrow from his swing mechanics to add serious yards to your drives:

  • Why creating width in the backswing early sets you up for maximum power through the hitting zone,
  • How elevation in the backswing — the height your trail arm achieves at the top — directly affects your clubhead speed and swing arc, and
  • How driving your lead foot down into the ground allows you to really explode through the downswing sequence with elite ground force!

How to Swing Like Bubba Watson

Learn key swing mechanics to increase your driving distance inspired by Bubba Watson's technique.

  1. 1

    Create Width in Backswing

    Start your swing by creating width early in the backswing. This sets up your body for maximum power as you transition into the hitting zone.

  2. 2

    Elevate Your Trail Arm

    Focus on the elevation of your trail arm at the top of your backswing. The height achieved directly influences your clubhead speed and swing arc.

  3. 3

    Drive Your Lead Foot

    As you begin your downswing, concentrate on driving your lead foot down into the ground. This action helps you generate explosive power through the swing.

  4. 4

    Master the Swing Arc

    Practice the wide-to-narrow swing arc to create maximum clubhead speed at impact. This technique is essential for achieving distance.

  5. 5

    Understand Arm Structure

    Learn how your arm structure affects your swing. Depending on your arm positioning, you can either create real power or just spin the ball.

  6. 6

    Focus on Lower Body Mechanics

    Incorporate drills that teach your lead leg to drive ground force. This will enhance your downswing sequencing and overall swing power.
