A legendary figure and one of the most popular characters to ever play on the professional tours Payne Stewart life was tragically cut short at 42, after winning multiple three major championships, before dying in a plane crash. Now Payne Stewart was kind of instantly recognizable for the way he actually dressed on the course. Wearing plus fours, always in the colors of different sport teams in the US. But his swing was also fantastic and it did guide him to three major championships. So he was a colorful character, on the course, off the course, but also had a swing to die for. He also had a few unique positions in there that can definitely help you drive the ball forwards with a bit more accuracy and a bit more power as well.

One of the things which is very, very noticeable about Payne Stewart’s golf swing is when he comes through the ball, the arms extend massively towards the target, but also very, very high up into the air. Now this high finish position is simply a consequence and a cause of after coming through the ball, of having a massive extension. So it’s this position, although very noticeable, is driven from having a very wide arc actually through the ball. And this is what was giving him a lot of power, and also a lot of accuracy. So to try and get this into your swing, nice wide backswing, straighten the arms out going back but coming through the ball extend the arms out, and upwards through the shot. And if you can get those two things together, you will have a lot of accuracy, but also a lot of power as the club whips through at a faster speed. So if you are looking to improve accuracy power, take a look at Payne’s swing and try and implement it into your game.
