I try to emulate in my mind and actions a swing like Graham De Laet's, mostly to emulate his lag. Unfortunately my nemesis is tempo so I am sure I am far from it. My practice swing feel close but over the ball is suspect.

Who is your mental picture for swing, if you have one?

I try to think Ernie Els, with his slow lazy take away and the smooth downswing that explodes upon impact.

The guy I like to envision or channel as I warm up is Payne Stewart. My swing looks nothing like his but his tempo was immaculate in my opinion and having his silky smooth swing in my mind helps set my tempo for the day. I do own and wear a few Ivy caps in his honor from time to time(no +4's though, I'm not cool enough to pull that off).

What do I think my swing looks like:

Picture Jordan Spieth at age 50,,,,,yeah right, in my dreams!!!

Reality probably more like Daniel Summerhays, at least that was the example Mvmac used when I was taking video lessons with him a few years ago.
