What is George Digweed’s secret for success?

He is the only clay shooter to have accumulated so much success, having won 26 World titles. There is no other shooter that comes even close. Is it his technique, mental game, equipment or all combined?

The stars have lined up for George,  having exceptional talent, physical build, mental toughness, and not the least his natural technique based on swing through.

In my opinion the swing through technique gave him a decisive advantage over the others. Here is why: the swing through method is the only one that allows the shooter to have full control over the target. Coming from behind the target, the shooter can follow the target in any direction, like a hunt dog chases a rabbit. 

Sporting Clays is an outdoor sport were the weather factors come into the equation. The wind can make the target "misbehave" so if you go with sustained lead you will not have the ability to adjust to the new path of the target unless you rely on a lucky shots.

Using the swing through method thus coming from the behind the target, the shooter can follow the target in any direction and control the shot.

Now that George's secret was revealed you, go be the next Digweed!
