Nick O’Hern Driver Swing Vision
Nick O’Hern was one of the players on the losing International Team this past week at the President’s Cup in Royal Montreal in Montreal (QC). When you think of aussie golfers, Nick O’Hern isn’t usually a name that comes to mind, you usually think Adam Scott or Aaron Baddeley. But Nick O’Hern has had as solid a season as any, making 14 of 22 cuts, 7 top 25 finishes and 3 top tens so far this season. No wonder he tops off at 36 in the official world golf ranking.
This is an analysis of his driver swing from the Traveler’s Championship back in June that Hunter Mahan won. Nick O’Hern’s swing is not an orthodox one. It looks like he uses a very weak grip (hands on top of the club). It looks like he is swinging his driver like he swings an iron. His hands are very close to his body, he uses a lot of hands, and instead of the usual sweeping motion you want to have in your driver, Nick O’Hern comes down on the ball and almost takes a divot. When he swings through though, you’ll notice that he does square the clubface just as he hits the ball. You would think that with a swing like Nick O’Hern’s you would have a tendency to slice it.
