Social media erupted in response to Paige Spiranac\u2019s accompanying tweet, \u201cReally wanted to slow it down so you could see the golf swing mechanics.\u201d She was dressed in a fitted blue top and a short white skirt in a 16-second video that showed golfers how to achieve club head speed through crucial elements of her golf swing: hip turn and weight transfer.<\/p>\n
Paige\u2019s method aligns with findings from biomechanics studies published in the \u201cJournal of Sports Sciences\u201d that show golfers can gain up to 20% more distance on their drives by achieving crucial hip\/shoulder separation.<\/p>\n
In a matter of hours, the video has garnered more than 2 million views, proving Spiranac\u2019s popularity among her 4-million-strong fan base, attracted by her friendly tips and appealing golf presentation. Ever since her retirement in 2016, she has been one of the most prominent influencers in women\u2019s golf.<\/p>\n
The feedback ranged from critical to appreciative: \u201cThis golfing icon is always looking for attention,\u201d wrote one; \u201cExcellent form. Took multiple viewings to get through it,\u201d wrote another. \u201cI have never been interested in golf before,\u201d wrote the third, while another wrote, \u201cYou have an unfair advantage with Newton\u2019s Cradle in your sports jersey.\u201c<\/p>\n
