Brian Dunleavy

10-year-old Brayden is an avid golfer, and his sports dream was to attend @WellsFargoGolf. Will Gordon helped make that dream a little more special on the driving range, and he got a firsthand look at Brayden’s impressive game 😊

@PGATOUR Cool, who is this?

@shkeengolf Swing from this shot

The unicorn shot 🦄 I’ve only seen it a handful of times One of my online students here

We’ve officially broken contain on 16

Making progress

You can work on any “anti flip” drill you want, but the best way to do it is to create an environment where the body can keep turning through impact. Hands will exit inward naturally and your forearms won’t over rotate (flip) at it. Manufacturing it by holding off does not work.

@shkeengolf Thanks coach💪💪

Brian just making sure his grip doesn’t get too strong. Whenever it does, his club path typically shifts more and more inside-out try start the ball right of target. Turns into big draws. Weakening the grip let’s him feel the face more open so he can swing left on it #Boom

Pure Drive is the absolute best. I dunno why anyone would consider lessons anywhere else

If you want to see a unique matchup that’s functional, look at my student Brian. Very upright hand path in the backswing but he keeps them “in” coming down by having the lead arm stay back as he rotates the chest into it. Doesn’t lose more depth and keeps his path pretty neutral

Brian is now getting into the 130s of club speed consistently. There are very few golfers out there who use the ground as well he does in terms of both horizontal & vertical forces. Lots to learn here if you take a close look at how his body moves on both sides of the swing.

Longtime online student of mine Brian continuing to record PR’s with driver. 130+ club speed and 195 ball speed. Road to 200 continues 🚀

Brian now up to 130+ CHS 🚀 He was at 119 last summer when we started working together. Hellacious seeds on the way

@dfleming58 Thanks for stopping by Pure Drive!💪

Time to get the governing bodies in golf thinking differently. Retweet this if you’re in favour of seeing a Ryder Cup-style MIXED team event that includes 6 men & 6 women on each side 👍

Here’s an example of what I meant from my last tweet. Brian would be in a lot of trouble if he didn’t turn as well as he does. This is obviously an extreme case, but the point remains the same. Match up how well you turn with how much you shallow the club. Lots of ways to do it.

@jakehardy25 @ForePlayPod I think it was “Go Pokes baby”

@ForePlayPod Anyone translate what that crazy patron shouted?

@RiggsBarstool @whoop

@shkeengolf @PGATOUR Love the little bump preset into the right side. Seems to be a good trigger for speed

@SeaneeRo @shkeengolf @PGATOUR Thanks man! Shauheen and I have put a lot of work into keeping my swing in a good spot when I take a full rip at one!

Won’t be long before we start seeing 125+ mph of clubhead speed become the norm on the @PGATOUR. Here, we have my student Brian working on getting 190 ball speed. What do you notice about his motor pattern that helped increase his distance?
