Firstly, let’s analyse that famous pause at the top of Hideki’s backswing. Why does he wait so long before beginning the downswing? This US Masters Tournament, we see that the pause is less pronounced than in previous years. Likely, this idiosyncrasy is the result of countless hours of practice drills, striving to achieve leg drive and ground force in the golf swing.
If you’ve studied plenty of Tour golf swings, you’ll be aware that the ‘Top of the Backswing’ position varies greatly from golfer to golfer. Matsuyama is in the ‘Laid Off’ category, similar to players like Sergio Garcia, Dustin Johnson and Ricky Fowler. We explain and demonstrate the advantages of this method.
What can we learn from Hideki’s unique swing? Should we emulate his golf swing?
We witnessed history being made at The Masters last week. Hideki Matsuyama is the first Japanese golfer and first Asian player to win at Augusta – Congratulations!
Also, a real breakthrough for Srixon Golf. The Japanese Golf Brand is gaining in popularity and reputation on Tour and in clubs around the world.

Golf Coaches, Not Teachers
The Aussie Golf Pros are holistic coaches in every sense of the word. Steve and Glen are both fully qualified members of the PGA of Australia and are avid students of the Sports Sciences. Together, they are certified in Advanced Golf Coaching, Golf Psychology, TPI (Body-Swing Connection), NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Personal Development and Skill Acquisition.
Steve and Glen are not ‘Method’ coaches. They recognise that there are literally 1000’s of ways to swing a golf club! Rather than try to ‘change’ your swing, their goal is to help You Be The Best Golfer You Can Be!
Skill Development vs Technical Changes
Although technique is an important factor in improving a golfer’s performance, Skill Development is largely neglected in golf coaching today. Skill is something that can be tangibly improved with proper understanding of the golf impact laws and effective practice towards improved performance.
External Focus of Attention
Most golf teaching involves an internal focus. Common suggestions might include increased hip turn, a still head or improved hand path. These are all factors of the golf swing, which many golfers and teachers consider important. However, as they are focused internally, on movements of the body, golfers find changes extremely difficult to process.
Enter the world of External Focus of Attention. This means that instead of focusing on body parts, a golfer can and should focus more on the target, the ball, the clubhead – objects which are external to the body. The sciences involving Motor Skill Learning have proven that by employing an External Focus of Attention, sports men and women learn new moves more quickly, retain changes more readily and can perform better under pressure.
All of the Aussie Golf Pros coaching, drills and advice for clients and viewers, involve an External Focus of Attention and the results can be astonishing!
