Rafael Nadal’s achievement in the game of tennis is unknown to none. His stature in the sport is probably unmatched by any other player. The former World No.1 has 22 Grand Slams in his career which also includes 14 French Open titles. However, the 37-year-old Tennis Titan recently garnered attention from the golfing fraternity.
NUCLR GOLF, a popular X (formerly Twitter) golf update page, shared a video of Nadal swinging a golf club and asked what the tennis star’s swing looked like. Fans were really unforgiving on the same and replied with multiple quirky comments.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at what fans feel about Rafael Nadal’s golf swing.
Fans React To Rafael Nadal’s Recently Golf Club Swing Video
While the Tennis Titan is a scratch golfer with a handicap score ranging between 0.3 and 1.5, fans did not quite like his golf swing. One of the golf enthusiasts called it “disgusting” but added that Nadal probably hits the ball a mile away.
Disgusting. But he probably hits it a mile and straight every time

Another user commented that Rafael Nadal has a similar right-hand action as he has for tennis which might work for him.
Its like the same right hand action as a tennis serve, probably works for him, he has the muscle memory

While most of the fans were unforgiving towards Nadal’s golf swing, some did appreciate the Tennis star player. Here are some top comments from the fans on X:
imagine if he could rotate into a full turn and then explode to his left side on his downswing?

I’m surprised he’s not a lefty, like his tennis game. As others have mentioned, it does resemble his two handed backhand tennis swing.

Awesome, hit +300yds and picking up the tee like that means middle of the fairway.

It might be the funkiest thing you see all week, but damn that athleticism is on full display. Listen to that impact. Rafa is separating like a mf with that move
