Back on Track: The David Duval Swing
I, for one, am so glad to see David Duval back and swinging like the Duval of old. And I really enjoy his recent US Open interviews.
He has always been known to be an intelligent guy but it is just fascinating to hear someone who has been to the utter bottom and fought his way back and what it was like. John had a nice article on this a few years back, called, David Duval As Teacher
But then again he also depicted his demise in, The End of David Duval’s Pro Career. So what do you think now, John???
Although there appears to be a *slight* David Duval weight gain (heck, he’s a fairly new dad now so has probably been eating a lot of good home cooking!) his swing looks rock solid and long!
And he went from 882 in the world ranking to 142, not bad, huh!
I am going to include a few videos. The first (towards the end) show a nice slow-mo of the Duval swing and the second show his recent 2009 US Open highlights. Enjoy!

Yup Duval looked back to his good old again. Forget the thin waste he does much better with a real mans stomach.
Nice Post!
Yeah, good point. What’s the big deal about skinny waists anyway? Seems much more relaxed than when he was running 10 miles before and after PGA events. I mean, who could keep that up???

It surely is nice to see Daivd Duval back but not many are willing to call the comeback a complete one yet. They want Duval to prove that Bethpage was not just a flash in the pan but if that final-day charge was anything to go by then it wouldn’t be hard to imagine that he is back in the big league.
But it was such a wonderful sight to see him having such a good time and being egged on by the crowd, he seemed to have turned the clock back a few years. Just listening to so many of the other players, it was clear that everyone is happy to see him performing, quite a few considered him their idol and were just excited to see him back to doing what got him all the fame.
The big jump in ranking must obviously give him some great incentive to get back to where he deserves to be, and that is near the top of the rankings list. I wonder if Duval’s performance gives John Daly some sort of a push to get his back to the heights of those glory days.
Can’t wait to see Duval out there again. It was great to see him almost win the US Open.
