Niemann says he likes to feel his knees pushed out and his legs bracing the ground at setup. It gives him a solid platform to push and pull against the ground as he begins his swing.

Niemann's longtime coach, Eduardo Miquel, says golfers should feel a big shift into their right side on the takeaway—to the extent that they could almost be able to take their left foot off the ground here.

Niemann says he begins to feel his weight begin shifting back to his left side at this point. Amateur golfers don't do this as soon, and it's why they often get stuck on their right side during their downswing.

Niemann says at the top of the backswing, his weight feels 50-50 on both feet. When he fights the tendency to remain too much on his right side, it's because he's not able to get to his left side in time.

Niemann says he battles getting lazy at this point in his swing. When he's not working hard to shift and turn his hips, he ends up hitting too far behind the ball. The result is chunky shots that veer left.

Niemann's hips are moving, but from this position, he likes to feel like his right arm is skipping a stone.

Although it's not what's actually happening, Neimann says he likes to feel his chest and his clubface are both pointing towards the target at impact. It's a visual that helps him keep turning, and gives him a sense of clubface control.

Neimann says that keeping his body turning quiets his hands because when the chest slows, his hands get overactive and flippy. Keeping his chest down and turning is what helps his body lead his hands.

Here's the position that activates so many golf swing opinions. Niemann has so much side bend, outsiders wonder if it might lead to injury. But the player says it's always been that way. He says staying down helps him turn more, and that's what helps someone relatively undersized generate as much clubhead speed as he does.

Despite all the athletic movement earlier in his swing, Niemann says he likes to end it with a poised finish that he wants to hold for three full seconds.
