I like Rory's swing a lot, why? because it's the swing that I would like to have LOL. Also Anthony's swing is awesome.

Definitely AK. Perfect positions at every point in his swing. Math geeks love parallel lines :P

I don't know if it is the best or not, but I like Camilo's the best. I just like the way he is able to coil and uncoil his body to get the power he needs from a smaller frame body.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

AK - power, style, one plane,...
Alvaro Quiros - even more power oneplane swing

I am voting for Anthony Kim also. His swing is always in good position and it is very simple....clean, as another poster said.

I had a change to watch AK play locally at the USGA Public Links in 2006 when he took second and I just love his swing.

Ak's swing is nearly perfect.
But Camillo's swing just looks like hes putting so much power into it and makes it look so smooth at the same time.

Damn, am I the only one who voted for Lee? Kid's got a nasty iron game.



His english isn't very good yet, but I suspect it will be soon.

And, yea yea yea, it's European Tour only, but still very impressive.

The European tour only?

That tour has some of the best players in the world as members: Harrington, McIlroy, Stenson, Karlsson, Rose, Poulter, Els, Westwood. I think half the worlds top 30 are members. Most of those would play as much, if not more on the European tour than in the US. FWIW, I think McIlroy's swing is top. His balance is awesome.

The European tour only?

Don't worry, I respect the European Tour a lot, but I've gotten into arguments on these boards with others who do not. So that statement where I said "yea yea yea, it's only Euro Tour" was for the people out there who think a Euro win is a far cry from a PGA win, which it might be.

For me though, I respect that tour a lot, so sorry for the misunderstanding.

Haha, I dunno if any of you guys are watching the Shell Houston Open Saturday broadcast, but Johnny Miller just said he thinks Danny Lee has a super dark horse shot at winning the Masters next week. My lone vote stands true! Go Danny!

I think McIlroy has by far the best swing.

Villegas' transition, in my opinion, is going to cause him problems with consistency.

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

I think not.. i think Camilo knows his swing so much better than anyone else on this list. And he seems to do something with every shot, which i like. Camilo takes teh cake.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
