Seve Ballesteros had a unique and dynamic golf swing that was characterized by its fluidity, athleticism, and creativity. Here are some of the key elements of his swing:
Strong grip: Ballesteros used a strong grip on
the club, with his left hand turned slightly to the right of the grip. This helped him to generate power and control in his swing.
Wide takeaway: Ballesteros' swing began with a wide takeaway, with the clubhead moving well outside the line of the ball. This helped him to create a wide arc and generate more clubhead speed.
Aggressive downswing: Ballesteros had a very aggressive downswing, with a powerful move through the ball that generated tremendous clubhead speed. This helped him to hit the ball long and straight, even in challenging conditions.
