Keegan Bradley Quotes

I almost never hit a shot all out, and I make a conscious effort to swing my long clubs just as I do my wedges. Keep this in mind when hitting your fairway woods.

The ultimate judge of your swing is the flight of the ball.

The biggest mistake is trying to pinch down on the ball and ripping out a big divot, often hitting the ground before the ball. You'll dig up some turf, but you won't create much backspin.

I very rarely watch anybody swing. All I do is follow where the ball goes.

I would say that my downswing mirrors the path of my backswing pretty closely.

I'm not someone who looks to swing the ball away majorly.

Most tall golfers don't have a lot of success. You have trouble getting steep on the ball too much. Stance, posture, all those things can be bad.

We've been trying to get my body and head moving toward the target on the downswing. I have a tendency to hang back and not release the club.

So as long as my shoulders are level and I pull through with my hips, the ball should go where it's supposed to go.

I don't hit it as far as a lot of guys do, so I have to be in the right spot in the fairway to score, and that means driving it well. The two biggest keys for me are to make a good transition and to keep my hands ahead of the clubhead through impact. I want to feel as if my swing is two swings: one going back and another coming down.

When you're hitting a fairway wood, you've got a lot of real estate to cover to get to your target. Your first instinct is probably to give it a little more power because you're worried about coming up short.

I used to turn my shoulders pretty level, which a lot of golfers think is correct. But that made my swing too shallow coming into impact, so my contact was picky, especially off the turf.

Swinging harder with a longer club almost always leads to bad shots.

The golf swing is very, very rhythmic. There's a certain tempo to it, just like in music.

Your longest drives will come when you feel you're swinging at 75 percent.

I love watching Anthony Kim play, but I'm not a fan of the way he grips down a good two inches on his full-swing shots. Choking down lightens the club's swing weight and effectively makes the shaft stiffer. It also makes it difficult to hit the ball high enough for all situations.

I think of all my iron shots as punches - not punch shots, but how much pressure I'm applying to the hit.

I've got a good game plan... keep things simple with my golf swing.

If you make the effort to address the moves that cause a slice, you can straighten out all your shots. It won't happen overnight, but if you're systematic about it, the process will work.

I'm a very analytical guy, I like to study my swing, I like to study what my back foot is doing, my elbow, whatever it might be, and there's a lot of guys nowadays that are like that. That's the trend of the game, that's the way the game has gone.

Your woods, irons and wedges are built with specific lengths and lie angles, which demand that you stand to the ball a little differently for each one. The secret is to know which elements of your address position remain constant, and which ones you have to tweak to match the club in your hand.

Going to a one-plane swing method has made me a much more consistent player. Even when I'm not on, I never get very far off.

Sometimes my backswing gets long, and I get in bad positions. The club also can get behind me coming down, so I have to flip my hands to catch up to my body.

I think a firm grip helps you control the club and prevents it from turning in your hands. Another thing about feel is, if you make a change in your grip, it takes time for your brain to adapt.

The reason the pro tells you to keep your head down is so you can't see him laughing.
