‘Kind of Like a Recipe’: Bryson DeChambeau Once Revealed How a Controversial Book Helped Him Master Golf

The average speed of the swing of Bryson DeChambeau is 132.25 mph. He is also known for being one of the longest hitters on the PGA Tour. Have you ever wondered how the golfer makes his perfect swing with ease even when he is swinging with such speed? 

Known as the Scientist among golfers, DeChambeau has been interested in studying since he was young, especially the things that would improve his game. That is why, when he wanted to perfect his swing, his coach of many years, Mike Schy, gave him ‘The Golf Machine!’ 

How did The Golf Machine help Bryson DeChambeau? 

The Golf Machine is the most controversial golf instruction book written by Homer Kelley. After working on mechanical problems a lot as part of his career, Kelley incorporated Physics and golf to perfect his game. Reportedly, he spent more than 24 years learning about the sport and developed a system to use physics to create a consistent swing during the process. 

While most people would find the book not easily graspable, the Mad Scientist of golf had no trouble understanding the book. “It explained different motions of the golf swing,” DeChambeau explained what he found amusing about the book. “Different acceptable motions on different planes with different variations.”

DeChambeau referred to The Golf Machine so that he could avoid a potential swing change as a PGA Tour golfer. However, even before he turned professional, he found success by winning the NCAA Championship and the  U.S. Amateur in the same year. Notably, only Jack Nicklaus, Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, and Ryan Moore have achieved this feat before him. 

After turning pro, DeChambeau won 10 titles worldwide, including the 2020 U. S. Open. He is also one of the longest hitters on the Tour who has covered an incredible 402 yards at a charity event. 

Bryson DeChambeau was a young boy, an amateur in golf when he wanted to perfect his swing. As a science enthusiast, he learned it with the help of the most controversial book: The Golf Machine. And according to his career record, DeChamebau seems to have mastered the skill!
