Welcome along again to the Audi performance zone and we’re going to talk about the man you just saw there who’s leading the way by a comfortable seven shots at the moment. Cam Young and Ollie, we’re going to take a look. This is from earlier today and I want to talk about the pause at the top of his swing because you and I have been mentioning it off air. It seems to be getting longer and longer that pause. Tell us why he does it and what m what why is it so good for Cam? Yeah, I mean such a such a noticeable pause at the top of the back swing. I mean, it’s something he’s always done, but this week especially, it looks probably a little bit more um pronounced than what it does maybe in other weeks. You know, we’ll just play this through here. And it kind of seems like he’s up there for an eternity at the top of the back swing, but I just like to show you um as we take him up to the top here, you know, he’s got a pretty classical setup, Cam. you know, his arms are quite extended um at dress. And you’ll just see him as we take this club away um into the back swing. If we can get this working there, you can see how straight his right arm is there going back, you know, so he creates quite a lot of early turn in the hips and in the um chest, in the torso going back. And as you watch that come up through the top, arm still quite right arm still quite straight. And now it’s starting to flex and he really gets a lot of elevation with his arms at the top. That left arm is so high. J like JT reminds me JT is like vertical. Yeah, we just we’ll just draw a line down here. That’s very hard to do, by the way. People at home try to do that. That’s hard. Yeah, it’s athletic. It’s it’s a tough position to get in with mount all this width in the back swing, you know, and he creates it up to the top really high, you know, almost down to the front of his right foot. He doesn’t get an awful lot of depth with his arms at the top. So, for the reason for the pause, you know, and he times this really, really well. And it’s all about timing. Um, you know, it allows the club to fall. He almost lets gravity take over and, you know, natural forces if you like let that club drop. And if you see here, you know, the time that he takes from the top. We just roll this down. It drops slightly. You know, you can see that club falling back behind him, kind of creating the inside path, really getting a feel for where it is. This position is just textbook. You know, the club’s coming down the right forearm. He’s got the club on a great plane and that allows him then to be really really explosive and rotate through it as fast as anyone in the game. You know, he’s got a terrific flexibility, really, really strong. Um, you know, works out a lot in the gym, does everything really, really well. You know, he’s been a great player for a lot of years now. And I think Cam Young, we’re just waiting for him to break through and win. And I think, you know, this week if he’s, you know, I read earlier, you know, he’s got the RDER Cup on his mind. you know, he’s almost got to take his mind somewhere else to get this tournament and done. He’s in such an amazing position and we’ll just play this one through into a full finish. Um, just tremendous explosive speed. Um, great strength, great flexibility, pretty textbook goal swing. Yeah, amazing stuff so far from Cam Young. and SP mentioning Ryder Cup there.
