Swing Study: Ben Griffin By Jeff Hermon

Ben Griffin has quickly become one of the most exciting players to watch, and with his recent selection to the 2025 Ryder Cup team, his golf swing is drawing plenty of attention. V1 Coach Jeff Hermon takes a closer look at what makes the Ben Griffin swing so effective.

One of the most noticeable aspects of Griffin’s move is his smooth takeaway. Instead of aggressively hinging his wrists early, he keeps things simple. The club face stays slightly closed through P2, setting up a consistent position that allows him to fire through with his hips. This minimalist approach reduces moving parts and keeps the motion repeatable under pressure.

As Griffin continues to the top of his backswing, there’s very little wrist hinge. His lead wrist stays flat, which again keeps the face more closed. This not only helps with accuracy but also primes his body to deliver power efficiently.

Despite a shorter backswing than many of his peers, Griffin creates tremendous power. The secret lies in his lower body. Watch closely and you’ll see how much he loads into his trail leg during the backswing. In transition, he “sits down” into the ground, using that stored energy to push explosively into his lead side. This move generates speed while keeping balance intact.
