NIcklaus power. Incredible.

[Shorty]

For those who wonder how Nicklaus would compare power wise to some modern day pros, pick this video up at about 4:25.

You saw the power?

Of course they have been hitting the ball far for a long time, equipment is a big reason for the increased distance today, regardless of who swings the club.

The video reminds me more of how slowly Jack played. Really nice slomo of Jack pushing off the ground at (6:00) If I were to guess, without looking at swing speed numbers (etc), I'd say Nicklaus would be right there with J.B Holmes.

Tiger's "new" swing looks a lot like Arnie's "old" swing in this video (at 5:18)

You should post that in that thread. Good spotting there Rich.

Arnold and Jack, obviously, both did a lot of good things.

I'm guessing....Jack Nicklaus = Golden Bear

I've always noticed, watching these vids from the way past, the position of their body at the height of the backswing (kind of looks like a baseball swing) is much more loose than the players of today who are seemingly more "stack and tilt". Of course, I think it would be hard to argue which has more power since great players with both forms have continually raised the yardage numbers.
