Linn Grant’s Unusual Golf Swing Left Us Seriously Impressed
Most weeks, Meandmygolf's longer videos belong to club golfers: a scratch player named Hunter who could not stop coming over the top, a 6 handicap named Ray and his slice. This time Andy Proudman and Piers Ward have a tour winner in front of the camera, and a swing that breaks a few of the rules they usually teach.
Linn Grant's shaft goes remarkably upright on the way back, as the description puts it, before she shallows the club and delivers the driver. In the video she explains how that move developed, the shot shape she likes to hit and what she feels with the big club, then demonstrates a drill she uses to stay connected. Andy and Piers close with a tip of their own for making a swing feel lighter.
It is the first Grant swing breakdown on a channel that coaches PGA TOUR winner Aaron Rai, and it drew about 24,000 views in its first ten hours, a pace this channel's regular lessons rarely reach on day one. The comments came in quickly too, nearly twice a usual first day's worth before the day was half over.
The description ends by asking whether anyone would change her backswing, and the answer below is mostly no. Viewers are busier finding relatives for it: Jim Furyk, Calvin Peete, a milder Matthew Wolff, and David Leadbetter's A Swing, a method this channel covered years ago. One viewer notes that the upright move is a fairly recent addition to her game. Another admits to trying it on the range and getting nowhere.

Her swing is so pure
@cace81See it on YouTubeDammit! Every drill i see you guys suggest looks great …but i watch multiple of your lessons and forget half of them by the time i get to the range 🤦🏼♂️😜✌️
@vicpnut1See it on YouTubeI hope she never lets anyone change her swing ! She owns that move ! Golfers who are chronic slicers should copy her swing !

Looks like Jim Furyk's swing.
@deadbrother5355See it on YouTubeSeen her a few times in Europe and also once in Malaysia. She makes it look so relaxed and easy.
@The-axmanSee it on YouTubeCouldn't click on this fast enough! Great action, compact and pure striking
@alijohnnySee it on YouTubeLinn's swing has definitely changed. She used to be much more on-plane throughout. The upright backswing was added in the past couple years. If it works, don't change it!
@NealB123See it on YouTubeAbsolutely love her swing. Reminds me of a less exaggerated Matt Wolfe swing. I've tried mimicking it on range and just couldn't get my club re-routed.
@atxrichSee it on YouTubeLinn's swing is very reminiscent of Calvin' Peete's, plus a deep dive leads to David Ledbetter's X-Swing.
