Brian Gay’s Three Quarters Swing Deserves A Second Look

With his record setting win this past week at the Verizon Heritage, Brian Gay’s rather unique swing has gotten some attention

From the PGA Tour Blog:

This position allows Gay to set the golf club in a three-quarter position where the club shaft still points towards the target line.
