    It’s like a forearm smash down the tramlines. Should have plenty of top spin at least.

    That back swing of his looks short, but it’s probably the exact same length that he brings his arm back to do a forehand or two-handed backhand shot. He generates an amazing amount of power in that short distance.

    I’d lose my mind if I had to play with him

  4. I just wonder what course this is in the desert. I keep going back to it could be Indian Wells CC or The Vintage?… OR maybe even more south, maybe Tradition or one of the PGA West private, like Arnold Palmer Private… hmmm. I am prob way off and it’s Bighorn CC

    Btw, the odd thing here is he was in the desert about to play in the Indian Wells Tourney… then he pulled out last minute because of a back strain. NOW, after seeing this swing… I think I know what caused that strain 😝

    I can understand why a backhand would feel so comfortable.

  6. shinymetalobjekt

    He addresses the ball like he’s getting ready to return a serve.

    Nadal is naturally right handed. He writes right handed and does most things with his right hand except for play tennis. Although he is ambidextrous just right hand dominant. There’s plenty of clips of him finishing points with his right hand. Also he’s a very gifted soccer player.

    I have seen this setup from a crackhead in the past.

    Playing scratch golf with this fucking swing just proves yet again that elite professional athletes aren’t human

  10. Holy shit. I halfway expected him to hit it left handed since he’s a South paw on the tennis court

    People who say, “that can’t be the swing of a scratch golfer” are just outing themselves as inexperienced.

    I know a + handicap who has the fugliest swing ever. Dude loves playing the first hole and if he doesn’t birdie the first hole, he asks his playing partners if they want to do $5 birdies from Hole 2 onward after they’ve had a look at his swing.

    He cleans house regularly because the dummies don’t ask him his handicap after watching his swing.

    It’s hard for him since the ball isn’t moving.

  13. panopticon71

    The greatest tennis player of all time and he swings like my uncle Shandler 😂 I’m so happy

  14. Wild-Assistant3863

    If you listen to this with the sound off first it’s quite surprising when hit sound

  15. Occams_ElectricRazor

    Yo look at the torque as he drops it in the slot at 13 seconds. He bombs the shit out of this ball.

  16. Chandlingus

    I’d rather stink than have a swing like that.

  17. hippopalace

    That gave me some kind of disorder I’m not sure which one

  18. Odysseus_Lannister

    2/10 no wedgie picking or yelling vamos after the shot

  19. Damn everyone is talking shit about his swing? Ya’ll are crazy. He’s one of the best tennis players in the world. Of course his golf swing isn’t going to be as perfect as his tennis swing. He absolutely smashed that ball. There is such a thing as unconventional golf swings and they work.

    Watching him bounce around before he takes his club back is such a solid move. The best players in the world on tour have “triggers” that help them start their swing. Just because he doesn’t look like Rory, Tiger, Phil, whoever.. doesn’t mean he’s not a good golfer. Clearly he is. He’s a professional athlete and it shows!

    I am pretty sure he is a low single digit handicap

  21. jackwillchoose

    More twitches than the average tennis player

  22. Yoke_Monkey772

    Of course this neurotic sob sets up like that.

  23. When you are able to channel all that epileptic energy into one motion, this is the swing that you get.

  24. slimreaper707

    This man needs a sit down with Charles Barkley

  25. TheWatchChannel

    We should be attaching a tambourine to that wrist…. He would make a brilliant musician !!
