hey cant deny that the guys gets the job done with that swing, just looks weird but hey wouldn't care what it looked like if i could play as well as him. got to give Gainey the love!

I agree with Luke Donald, and I'll add Justin Rose.  They both do an outstanding job of maintaining their spine angle, and rotating around it.

I, however, am a HUGE fan of Steve Stricker (see avatar), and I model my swing after his.

I would say Adam Scott or Hunter Mahan. If rhythm is added in then Ernie Els and Tom Watson are right there also.

Goosen

Scott

McIlroy

Els- but only after he has started his backswing

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

LUKE.DONALD for classic, Rory for beauty and physical prowess; how the hell do you finishlike that

It's a perfect combination of youth, strength and flexibility and is a thing of beauty when everything is working right and in sync.  But let the timing get just a bit off, and it all goes down the toilet quickly.

Rory McIlroy for speed and precision.

Luke Donald and Robert Rock for smoothness and simplicity.

Jonathan Byrd (who I'd never heard of until yesterday) for that "classic" swing.

To be honest I'd love to swing like any of them.

Quite literally shocked that a Mizuno fanclub member wouldn't be familiar with Johathan Byrd. He's one of the very few recognizable faces of the golf franchise.

Yeah, but he uses Nike wedges.

I may be a fan but I'm also a relative Mizuno 'noob' (a Noobzuno? Miznoobo?) ;-) Also I love the equipment but whether x player does or doesn't play the brand doesnt fuss me; I tend to like a player irrelevant of sponsorship. Oh and wedges are on order. Lol

The fluidity of Adam Scott's swing is second to none.  Rory McIlroy is the most unbelievable with his shoulder turn although I try to keep my swing a touch more compact than his.

    • 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.
