So today I decided to dig into Corey Conners’ recent swings cause man’s been looking super consistent lately. Grabbed my tablet first thing morning and started rewatching his shots from last weekend’s tournament coverage. Watched that tee shot on the 14th like twenty times straight – dude’s swing is butter smooth even under pressure.
My Step-By-Step Breakdown
First I noticed how he sets up super balanced, knees slightly bent like he’s sitting on a barstool. Practiced that stance in my living room, almost tripped over the coffee table lol. Then focused on his backswing – doesn’t overextend like I tend to do. Just coil-and-pause, coil-and-pause like clockwork.
What really jumped out:
- That compact follow-through where he stops his hands at shoulder height – tried mimicking that at the range later
- Weight transfer from back foot to front foot like he’s squishing a bug under his left shoe
- Head stays dead still through contact – put my head against the wall to practice this feels so awkward!
Live Practice Session
Took these observations straight to the driving range after lunch. Set up my phone to film swings, hit two buckets focusing only on these three things:
- Started with half-swings feeling that abbreviated finish
- Added full rotation while thinking “squish the bug” weight shift
- Full power drives with “HEAD AGAINST GLASS” mantra yelling in my brain
After like forty minutes, started seeing real difference in ball flight. Not Conners-level yet obviously, but way less banana slices than usual. That head stillness trick alone fixed like half my problems!
Finished session putting from 10 feet imagining his pre-putt routine. Dude’s rhythm is infectious – caught myself doing that little shuffle-step he does before stroking. Might keep that move honestly, felt super solid over the ball.
