Swing Lab
Bryson DeChambeau
Single-plane precision and speed engineering
Bryson DeChambeau engineered a single-plane swing with one-length irons to simplify variables. His action prioritises a matched shoulder plane, minimal wrist manipulation and brute rotational speed for driver.
Signature moves
- Single-plane setup: arms and shaft on one line
- Wide, connected takeaway with limited wrist hinge
- Steep, athletic squat in transition
- High-tee driver with 5°+ up-angle of attack

Takeaway
You don't need long-drive speed to benefit — Bryson's connected takeaway and quiet wrists reduce dispersion for club-golfers.
