Who do you swing like?

What professional golfers swing does your swing most resemble? For me, its Jim Furyk. I've had around 20 different people tell me this. Anyone else?

Jim Furyk, everytime I am at a golf shop feeling out new clubs.

I've seen this type of question posted before, and noone ever came to mind. But, just last week, Fred Funk's Playing Lessons From the Pros was on, and I gotta tell you, we have pretty much the same game.

I'm most certainly not the longest hitter, but I'm known to keep the ball in play. Our theory on the swing is about the same. One huge similarity was, while watching him hit approach shots, it seems as though we have a similar thought process to setting up a shot and pretty much exactly the same yardages for our clubs.

The only difference between the two of us are our body types. He's kinda short and stalky. I'm half-way tall (5'10") and kinda thin'ish. Oh, he's also got 19 years on me.

After watching I was filled with hope and inspiration in my game. "If he can do it, why can't I?"

My swing resembles myself. I try not to make comparisons because, as soon as I do, I try to do things like that person. And, last time I checked, I was myself.

My swing looks like Joe Cocker on stage singing "with a little help from my friends".At least that what the Mrs. Says!!

[smazza]

iacas is wise beyond his years

Charles Barkley.

My swing most resembles Zach Johnson. Our backswing ends short of parallel. I don't know of any other pro golfers that swing about 75% on all swings, but I'm sure there are some. I can't take the club back any farther, I've tried.

Charles Barkley.

LOL. Ouch. Barkley has more of a seizure than a swing.

I would like to say freddy because of my club position, or almost a opposite of freddy i guess. Only difference is I'm short, a little chubby and I a little less wrist action. I bring the club back like tiger though, I tried shortening it but im more consistent with a long backswing. Honestly, this sounds like bull, I swing like myself.

Like a monkey with Turrets Sydrome. I know that is not a professional but it is the easiest way to describe my swing.

when I had my video analysis done the teaching pro used Ernie's swing opposite to mine and kept pointing out how similar they are. IMHO - he was just trying to get a good tip
My guess would be John Daly with 1/2 of his take-away. Big belly forces both of us to swing the same way

[Old Tom]

The older I get, my swing looks more and more like Arnold Palmer. And not in a good way...

[sioutdoors]

follow through looks alot like (dont castrate me) tiger. And ive worked really hard at it to. With the club and my hands finishing high in the air. as far as the whole swing I dont really know

Are you sure about that? You may not be yourself.

My swing resembles a combination Jim Thorpe and Charles Barkley during an epileptic siezure.

Haha, Charles Barkley always looks like he's having an epileptic seizure when he swings.

The other day in Golf Galaxy I did a free 10 minute swing analysis and after seeing myself on video I was shocked. I knew my swing wasn't perfect but I was surprised at how bad some of the basics were - Bad posture, knees way to bent, and quite a chicken wing on the follow through. So I will amend my previous comparison to Sir Charles and put me in the Rush Limbaugh / Donald Trump category (you may have seen them at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am).

So based on that I signed up for lessons right there on the spot, using the money I brought with me for a new driver.
