One such person is current Masters champion Jon Rahm. He was born with a severe right clubfoot, resulting in a true leg length discrepancy (his right leg is a ½ inch shorter than his left) and permanently reduced ankle mobility. For years, coaches tried to get him to take a full/correct swing, but a TPI examination revealed he couldn’t do that because of the limitations in his right ankle. He instead started working on generating power through increasing extreme load and mobility in his wrists and improving upper-body strength to generate power with a shorter backswing.

“I didn’t take a full swing because my right ankle doesn’t have the mobility or stability to take it,” Rahm said. “I learned at a very young age that I’m going to be more efficient at creating power and be consistent from a short swing. If I take a full parallel, it might create more speed, but I have no stability. My ankle just can’t

We firmly believe that there is no “correct” way to swing a golf club because everyone has different body types, strengths, joint mobility, hand-eye coordination skills, past injuries, etc. We encourage you to investigate your body’s strengths and limitations to determine what “incorrect” perfect swing works for you!
