Jordan Spieth’s left Belbow juts toward the target through impact, and Dustin Johnson bows his left wrist as he takes the club back. If you’re learning how to swing or just taking a lesson to improve, the idiosyncracies of many of the game’s best players probably wouldn’t be things an instructor would try to get you to copy. They’re too individualistic. But that’s not the case when it comes to the signature feature of Hideki Matsuyama’s swing—it just might be the thing you need to hit better shots. “There’s a distinct pause between his backswing and downswing. Everything stops for a split second,” says Jim McLean, one of Golf Digest’s 50 Best Teachers. “It allows him to get in the same great position at the top and sync up his downswing beautifully. The pause makes it special.” ▶ ▶ ▶ tk gutter credit tk gutter credit 58 golfdigest.com | august 2018 Photograph by First Lastname Photograph by First Lastname month 2018 | golfdigest.com 59 how the pause came to be ▶ As noticeable as the interlude is, and as much as on the range with hideki it has helped Matsuyama’s swing—the 26-year- old has been 10th or better in the World Golf Ever wonder how the best players Ranking since the fall of 2016—would you be- prepare for a round?
