Why Cameron Young Pauses at the Top of His Swing

9 min
Added on September 21, 2026
Cameron Young joins Iona Stephen to talk through the driver game he has built around one repeatable shape: a small push draw. His recognizable pause at the top wasn't introduced as a swing drill and isn't something he consciously tries to create. It developed as his swing changed over time, while his focus shifted toward hitting the same shot more consistently.

At address, Young walks Iona through his tendency to set his feet closed and his shoulders open, so he works in the opposite direction - opening his hips and knees while bringing his shoulders back toward square. He also explains why he sees golf swing lag as a reaction to force in the downswing rather than an angle that should be deliberately held.

One driver swing produces nearly 180 mph ball speed and 313 yards of carry.
