I admire Charles Barkley for the fact that he can get the club and his body in such an ugly position 1/2 way down and still hit the ball. LOL

As far as Tour swings, hard to say. I really like Sergio's action, but can't say it's my favorite considering his swing has failed him a little when it really counts(majors).

I think I'd have to go with Tiger just because of the results it has brought.

I like Rickie Fowler's. Very much a raw natural swing that seems to work for him.

I really like Ian Poulter's swing, very compact, packs a bit of a punch, but he still hits tons of fairways/greens. A good mediation between a power and control swing.

I've never really watched him play before, but Lee Westwood's swing has really caught my attention this week:



I have a similar build to Lee, and he does a lot of the things I try to do. A powerful but compact move, penetrating slight draw, no extra moving parts, that looks great to me! Two things he nails that are keys for my own ball striking are keeping his posture tall and balanced and getting his hands well ahead of the ball at impact. From his record on the European Tour I think it's safe to say he has a reliable move...

I just watched that video I posted probably 30 times in a row, hahaha. That shot is just so pure!

That video of Lee is one of the better swings he's made. Normally he has that violent dip that is required to save his shot because he's not in good position coming down.

The club fell just about perfectly in that shot there.

Yeah, upon looking at more of Lee's swings he's not really my favorite, after all. I didn't realize his stock shot is a fade, and it looks like he comes across the ball slightly pretty often.

The swing in the video I posted still looks great to me, though, and I still really like how stable and compact he keeps himself throughout his swing. It looks like there's not much room for things to go wrong with such a simple and compact move.

I think that Geoff Ogilvy's swing is one of the fest on tour. Its just a simple, elegant swing and his finish is one of the best I have ever seen. When I need a swing thought, I always think of his swing.

    • Day 252: worked on chipping for a while with my chipping net. Worked on low, medium, and high shots. Productive session. 
    • Day 180 - 2025-03-29 Not a long time today, but I got my five minutes in jumping and doing some work on the downswing.
    • I’ll just stick to the basics for now - got enough to work on… this is my home practice range. The little clearing in about the center of the photo is roughly 200 yards. 
    • It kills me to link to Twitter but this is 👀 👀 👀  https://x.com/wiley77/status/1906071723402797059
    • Played Musgrove Mill today. 72.3/155. +9 for 15 official holes as 2 holes are closed, and the par 5 16th plays as a converted par 3. We played the first three holes over to finish 18, and parred 1 and2 amped bogeyed 3. The good: hit every fairway. 1 less than normal for the converted par 3, but the second time I have done that this year. My sand wedge approach on 10 after a monster drive hit the pin in the back left corner hit he pin and spun away to 9’, and I missed the putt.   The great: hit 8 GIR and 7 were inside 10’. Needs work: Missed every birdie putt. No lip-outs. Just struggled on fast greens. Three-putted the par-5 9th with the pin on the back tier and jut missed hitting my approach to the proper level and it spun all the way to the front of the green.
