Cameron Young’s Iron Play: Consistency with Pelvis Movement
Learn the Sportsbox definition of Cameron Young’s Iron Play: Consistency with Pelvis Movement and how coaches use it in 3D golf swing analysis.
Under pressure, Cameron Young has one of the most solid iron games.
Two key impact imperatives show up clearly in Cam’s swing:
1️⃣ Pelvis more open than the chest at impact
Cam’s pelvis is about 41° open, while his chest is around 29° open.
That separation shows his lower body is leading the downswing—a key movement for avoiding a steep, “over-the-top” delivery.
2️⃣ Pelvis forward while the chest stays back
Cam’s pelvis moves about 4.3 inches toward the target, while his chest remains behind it, creating a -4.2-inch Sway Gap.
This relationship helps create the forward low point and shaft lean needed for solid compression, while allowing the club to stay on a shallower delivery plane.
Open hips. Pressure forward. Chest staying back.
That’s a combination you’ll find again and again in elite ball strikers.
