It’s no secret that Rory McIlroy is an exceptional golf talent. At the age of 25, Rory is already a two-time Major Champion, winning the US Open in 2011 and the PGA Championship in 2012. Rory’s talent was on full display in previous episodes of Sportscience, where he passed a special Challenge with flying colours and demonstrated the difference between old and modern golf clubs. Now, Rory’s back in another episode as we analyze the power behind his swing!
A huge part of Rory McIlroy’s golf swing is the amount of power that he generates despite his average stature. His commitment to fitness definitely has something to do with it however, as Sportscience investigated after his US Open victory in 2011 (video below), Rory’s hip action during his golf swing is extraordinary!
Now, John Brenkus of Sportscience takes another look at Rory’s golf swing, looking at his rotational speed this time around! The speed generated in Rory’s hips, shoulders and arms are simply amazing and John Brenkus and Sportscience takes us through Rory’s swing once again!
