Should amateur golfers stop copying professional golf swings? ⛳️
Mike’s answer? Yes and no.
There’s a lot we can learn from watching the best players in the world, but trying to recreate their exact swing is where golfers can get into trouble.
You don’t have Viktor Hovland’s body, mobility, or natural movement patterns. And you don’t need to.
Instead, look at what the best players have in common.
Grip. Sequence. Understanding where the power actually comes from.
Those are the things worth studying.
When Mike uses professional swing footage during lessons, he’s not asking students to copy everything they see. He’s showing them a specific movement, why it happens, and how they can apply that principle to their own swing.
Because the goal isn’t to master somebody else’s golf swing.
It’s to master yours. 🏌️♂️
What do you think? Should amateur golfers study professional swings or focus entirely on developing their own?
