An Instant Golf® Special Report

Tim Clark Golf Swing Analysis

by Robert Cotter
Professional Golf Ball Engineer
Director of Golf Swing Instruction, Instant Golf®

Tim Clark birdied 5 of 6 straight holes on Sunday and shot 67 to take home 1.7 million and the Players Championship trophy.

His 66 and 67 on the weekend marked the largest 36 hole comeback in the history of the event when he held off Robert Allenby, finishing at -16 for the week.

More importantly, his 205th tournament in his lucrative PGA Tour career (16.4 million in earnings) proved to be his lucky charm as he finally got his first win and the proverbial "monkey off his back".

Thrilled and relieved, the 34 year old South African claimed "I'm just another guy with a win"! But later added "That’s as good as I could have played. I feel like I hit every shot like I wanted out there."

At a fairly diminutive 5'7"/160 lbs, Clark proved to be a Giant Slayer as all the big names failed to deliver on the big stage of the Tour's "5th major".

So How Did He Beat The Field?

Well, Clark relies on everything but distance. He is ranked 173/181 on Tour in driving distance this year.

For the week, he didn't lead any category. But he was hitting fairways and greens, and was making putts.

Here are some quick stats on Tim's performance vs. Allenby for the Players Tournament:

The consensus is that Tim Clark's swing is a bit unorthodox and not text book looking like all the clone swings on Tour.

He has a physical anomaly with his elbows that limits the pronation or inward roll of his elbows and forearms.

And at waist high in the backswing, he had an atypical flexion of the lead or left elbow. It is quite dramatic:

This contributes to a bit steeper looking position at the top of Clark's back swing. He looks tilted and has a pronounced cup in that left wrist compared to most of his peers.

Do you see a bit of Jack Nicklaus in this image?!:

Here's why this works for him..

Every golfer is an individual and has physical attributes that lead to Brain-Muscle-Memory. Hence, your mind and body will work together to move in a way that accommodates your physique and limitations.

With Golf, the Bottom Line is Impact.

Have that golf ball leave the club face when the face is pointing at the target, then this game becomes very easy.

That's the goal of the golf swing. What comes before it... there are no set rules.

Can you pick out the peculiarities in Tim's swing at impact?:

It's a trick question. There are none! He looks like every great ball striker in history at impact (Hogan, Snead, Nicklaus, Trevino, Woods, etc...). Line them all up, he is textbook.

Tim Clark is as orthodox as they come at Impact, where is counts.

Clark has a Repeating Golf Swing that works for him. And I would bet it hasn't changed much in many years. If he is smart, he won't change a thing going forward.

At only 34, he has repeated that swing to the bank and deposited 16.4 million dollars since turning pro in 1998. He can now afford to buy a new shelf for his first PGA Tour trophy.

I firmly believe every golfer has a Repeating Golf Swing inside despite their past experiences. Many golfers are so close to repeating their motions that simple corrections make the difference between the 80's and 100's.

Golf is challenging because the swing is over almost immediately after it starts. A complex motion needs to be simplified. Not 5, 8, or 12 steps like some teachers advocate. We are talking about a 1.5-2 second motion. Here's how I break it down:

Within that last 1 second, from the Top of the Back Swing to the Finish lies the moment of impact, where Tim Clark and his peers excel.

You see, the forces created in the down swing are tremendous, even for the senior or slower swing speed player. Different muscles are engaged and dynamic balance must be maintained by calling on specific parts of the body. And it all takes place in an instant.

How do the best do it? Well let me tell you about an experience I had while working in the golf ball industry designing innovative product for professional and recreational golfers.

One day I was working with some PGA Tour players who were testing new ball designs and I noticed something subtle but distinct about all of their down swings. It was my Aha moment!

This discovery quickly led to a theory, some testing, and bang, the proof in my own game. It was real, it worked, and it transformed my game, virtually overnight. It was the final piece of the puzzle. I called it "The Key To A Repeating Golf Swing".

I became consistent across all clubs, drive to wedge. My swing, particularly the down swing, was now on "autopilot" and I was reaping the rewards. In fact, my discovery of The Key allowed me to take my scores to the 70's. I was reborn as a "player" (not just a golfer) and my playing partners couldn't believe the transformation.

Since that day on the test range, I have had the privilege of teaching The Key to 1000's of golfers in over 60 countries, both in person and via the Internet. The testimonials have been astounding and it gives me great pleasure to share my experience with eager, serious golfers.

In all my years of playing golf, I have concluded that a golfer can not break 80 without a repeating golf swing. It does not have to be perfect, but it must be reproducible. When a repeating swing takes form, a whole new level of satisfaction results as the golfer is now able to play the game the way it was intended.

My trademark move, The Key, delivers the club head right back through the ball with precision power and control. It is the star of the show. I can't play without it.

In fact my discovery of The Key was the very catalyst for my whole career in the golf industry. It was also the sole factor that...

Took my scores from the 110's to the 70's after struggling for years
with inconsistent ball striking and a stagnant handicap.

I'll show you exactly what I've shown over 10,000 golfers from 61 countries, many of whom broke 80 in their very next round after putting The Key into use.

In fact, the following is a note typical of the type that hit my inbox all week. It is genuine and unsolicited:

"First ever even par round" "Hi Robert, I just wanted to pass on that over the last few weeks I have being playing better and better, until the peak which was just yesterday. I played at a local course and for the first time in my life I shot under 80, and not just under. I hit 38, 36. A day of firsts, first ever even par round, first time in the 70's, 4 birdies, just an all round amazing result. I owe a fair bit of it to you as I am adhering strictly to your teaching. Thanks again and best regards, Dale N. - Maylasia P.S. I have just received 2 dozen (name removed) golf balls, the ball you recommended for my game (although the score yesterday was with a (name removed), needless to say I'm starting to love this ball quite a lot) and the next time out I intend to try this ball. I'll check in with you early in the new year to see if there is anything else that you recommend."

 

"your instruction clears the head" Robert, "I am sure you have received many testimonials in the past but how many within the first few hours. I purchased & read your e-book this morning - as usual, after reading I needed to go to the practice range to see if it at least worked sometimes for me before committing any further time - patience is not one of my virtues. Whilst I hit the ball well & hit what I was aiming at most of the time that is not the reason for this reply. For the first time in my 40 years of golf I felt & knew at the top when I was in a good position to hit the ball solidly & could predict the outcome from the top of my swing. In short, thank you - I now have the new sensation of the correct feeling at the top - golf is not a game of perfect but given 5 minutes practice I am convinced that "simple" is the answer for the amateur/social golfer to play good golf without hitting hundreds of balls per day. - your instruction clears the head of the thousand thoughts that ruin scores & a good day out with the boys. I started a skeptic who expected the same rehash of information, instead I am pleasantly surprised." Peter V. - Australia

 

Same day, dramatic improvement... Nice going Peter.

I get notes like these all the time. It doesn't matter whether you are trying to break 105 or 70, the rate of improvement is typically rapid once the "bad data" is stripped from a golfer, and The Key to a repeating golf swing can begin working its magic.
