      What a beautiful swing

    2. CarlaLR74 Said,

      I wonder why he doesn’t wear a glove? Must be hard on his hand.

    3. jkiene Said,

      I thinks it’s because his hands are so active that he needs the increase feel on the club

    4. CarlaLR74 Said,

      He has the best swing out there.

    5. sunshinealley Said,

      the only player whose left hand is as tan as the other

    6. MrTetano Said,

      Es uno de los mejores swings de todos los tiempos

    7. bman342 Said,

      No doubt a pretty swing. Couples’ trademark is how high he brings his right elbow (see 0:15). It’s something that most pros try to guard against (you’ll see them doing the glove drill, where they put a glove under the right shoulder pit, and make sure they do not drop it on the back swing). Freddie swings with abandon, it’s pretty and it works for him, but not advisable for most.

    8. bman342 Said,

      LOL, that should be “arm pit”.

    9. CarlaLR74 Said,

      Fred looks like he is putting hardly any effort into his swing, but he hits it so far! Amazing!

    10. Blackshayde Said,

      If you watch Freddie on the course he really does swing pretty hard, it just looks laid back on TV. Also his shoulder turn is absolutely enormous, which adds to that laid back perception.

    11. Devlins10 Said,

      la de da da de da da. Hey I’m Fred Couples. I hardly swing the club and hit it 300+ with ease. I wish you could do the same thing. Excuse me I have a call from some playmate again. how boring.

    12. gybochop Said,

      His swing is orgasmic…….

    13. rickumali Said,

      I agree with this. It looks easier than Ernie Els’ swing.

    14. BourneAccident Said,

      Here’s a natural golf swing like Bobby Jones and Sam Snead. No forced motions from Freddy. The question remains of why he never won big like Tiger, Jack, Arnie, etc.??? Anybody know the answer to this one?

    15. golf6856 Said,

      Break 80 by next weekend. Bobby is a great coach and his online course is definitely worth it. GolferBreak80com

    16. billyseidl Said,

      because he cant putt to save his life. he may not have any forced motions in his swing but watch him next time he putts

    17. phantomlord54 Said,

      Happy 50th Fred

    18. danolson68 Said,

      Freddie has never been a stronger putter. The biggest reason for this is because of his ailing back. He was never able to put in the necessary practice time in due to the excruciating pain he has endured over the years. If it weren’t for his bad back I think he would have won a good 5+ majors.

    19. 63Brummie Said,

      Even at full throttle Fred looks like he’s half asleep …he’s so laid back…

    20. swingtrade2 Said,

      the club head is off the ground when the swing starts.

    21. eto121212 Said,

      he neva made it big cause he jut ply dah game

    22. Goynes42 Said,

      Freddie is proof positive that if you have great tempo, you can overcome what many people call swing “flaws.” I freaking love watching Freddie swing!

      I don’t think many golf teachers would advocate learning Freddie’s swing exactly. But every single one of them WOULD advocate copying his tempo. If you have a smooth tempo like that, it WILL make your swing better. No matter what you swing like.

      @BourneAccident freds hes too nice to win consistently

    24. Shodansixtyone Said,

      Copy this swing and can you can play golf forever

      The only man that can still rock a visor.
