A big statement, but does anyone care to disagree?
If so, who is your pick?

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I love his swing as well, great tempo, it seems so simple to watch.

He's certainly my favorite player on the Nationwide Tour because everything about his golf swing is fundamentally sound.

I don't feel as though anyway "has the best swing" it's all about getting the club square at impact...all that really matters. Look at how successful a guy like Jim Thorpe has been on the Champions Tour, or a guy that wins so much on the PGA Tour like Kenny Perry.

But, I can't disagree that Michael Sim has one of the better golf swings I've ever seen. Someone you'd certainly want to imitate.

He's got a great all-around game. His swing is incredible. I hope he wins it tomorrow, and graduates to The Tour early. He may have the best swing out there. And if not, he's definitely way up on the list.

No doubt it is very solid fundamentally......Sim's swing reminds me a lot of Greg Norman's swing.

Not bad. Rory Mcilroy? Nick Flannagan (another Aussie won US amateur 2003). If your looking at swings to copy how about Stuart Appleby , does anybody make it look easier?? Dont know why he doesnt win more often, dont think the putter is his favourite club.

Dude. Come-on. The last thing I need right now is yet another person whose swing I wish I had.

Michael does have a great swing at first glance. At least it's the most on-plane swing I've seen in a long time. I'm not sure what he struggles with so it's hard to say objectively, but it's nice to watch. He is also a great ballstriker so that adds some credence to it's greatness.

His swing is so simple, it makes me feel bad for not being able to always hit the ball with perfect contact. I wish my swing felt like his swing looks. Same for Rory Mcilroy, really.
