Jamie Sadlowski Golf Swing

I had the opportunity to check out Jamie Sadlowski's world long drive championship form, and quite frankly, this kid's swing is amazing! He is not very big, and during his interview on ESPN today, he indicated he weighs only 155 pounds. But, the swing speed he generates with his swing is incredible. During the competition, he hit one drive 436 yards, and in the final, over 415 yards. For a man his size, that is pretty incredible!

I've included a video clip of his performance in the competition. You will note his very athletic stance at address. His swing is very long, even longer than John Daly. He has a very big shoulder turn and his hands get very high during the swing. I don't recall the name of the competitor he faced in the final, but that guy was much bigger and very muscular. He was clearly stronger than Jamie, but did not have nearly as big of a golf swing. As I have stated before, flexibility wins out over pure strength, and this is the best example I can find for that.

Anyhow, check out the video below!
