I'm not sure if this thread had been posted here before, but, who's golf swing mechanics do you admire most in the PGA Tour, and why?

In my Bag:

Driver: TaylorMade r7 460 10.5° Fujikura RE/AX 60 D3 RF Graphite

I always thought Elkington had the picture perfect swing, Els has the fluidness, and Woods has the machine like swing that gets it done.

Then again, guys like Furyk make that loop work, Jack had his reverse C, Arnie was a corkscrew, so go with what works.

Tough one. I like Goosen, Tiger, Elkington and Toms. If I thought a little bit, I'd probably add a lot more.

Duval did have a smooth swing but he had that tendency to have his head follow the swing a la Annika. Always screwed me up to watch. I thought he had a good putting stroke too.

yeah it a shame that Duval is on the demise....i just wonder how much he practises nowadays...'when you re full you re no longer hungry' (et al Basherbaker69, 2008).

"The Big Easy"
I try and keep a mental image of Big Ernie's swing in my mind when I lose my tempo on the course. Usually helps me slow down a bit and make a nice easy swing.

"The Big Easy"

I love Ernie's swing, but whats with the apparant premature uncocking of the wrists at the top of his swing??

In terms of best mechanics I will go with Ty Tryon (although I believe he is competing on the Nationwide Tour at the moment) On the PGA Tour currently I love watching Anthony Kim and Trevor Immelman swing the club. I also love the rhythm of some of the 'old timer' swings such as Payne Stewart

Fred Couples.......looks like he's barely swinging

QFT... Freddie is inspiring to watch.

I personally like & try to imitate Ernie El's swing (even though I know I'm light years away). It amazes me how effortless Els' swing is. I also like Adam Scott's & Fred Couple's.

i really like aaron baddeley's swing the best, he uses the stack and tilt technique i think. adam scott has a purty swing too. oh and john daly! always enjoy watching him swing a club.

Paul Casey and David Toms. Watching them both on "Playing with the Pros" series was a lot of fun. Great tempo, pre-shot routine, finish and understanding of the what's and why's of the golf swing.

Plus, watching Toms get fitted by Taylormade was pretty cool, too.

    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
