Niall Higgins has a swing that could use some serious work. It’s like he’s trying to debug a computer while playing golf; just too much going on.

• First off, the setup looks more awkward than a giraffe on roller skates.
• His follow-through? Let’s just say it resembles a windmill stuck in a loop.
• And that backup move in the backswing—why does it look like he's dodging a rogue golf cart?

Overall, Niall should consider some swing therapy because right now, it’s a solid recipe for inconsistent results.
