The Happy Gilmore tee shot tested by Padraig Harrington… and he smokes it.
Kottke: “Sport Science recently tested to see whether professional golfer Padraig Harrington could drive the ball further than normal by employing a Happy Gilmore swing. The running swing technique increased Harrington’s distance by an average of 30 yards but his accuracy suffered. The split-screen view of his stationary and running swings is amazing…it’s the same swing.”
It’s amazing that at impact both his normal and Gilmore swing are exactly the same, he’s just able to get faster shoulder rotation on the Gilmore - I’m just all over the place when I try it.
