As Mike Furyk describes in a Golf Digest issue in 2001, Jim Furyk’s hips “underturn” during the backswing and “overturn” coming down. On the downswing, he draws the club in a large arc behind his body (viewing from his right hand side), then pastes his elbow against his right hip at impact. David Feherty described Furyk’s swing as “an octopus falling out of a tree”. Gary McCord said that it evokes the image of “a one-armed golfer using an axe to kill a snake in a telephone booth.”
His father taught golf to Jim from a young age but was also the most important instructor Jim has ever met.
