“My swing has changed a lot over the years, and probably will keep changing,” DeChambeau said in an interview. “When I decided I needed more distance to take my game to the next level in 2020, I didn’t just change my body. I changed my swing too”.

While DeChambeau did work on gaining muscle, his swing also underwent some changes. While earlier DeChambeau would opt to hit a fade, he now looks to hit a draw on almost every shot. The 28-year-old worked to make the changes with his coach Chris Como, also adding some movement and momentum. What DeChambeau has not changed, however, is his “wrist position at setup”.
