Anyone one's but Jim Furik LOL.... swing + results he is a great player, but his swing doesn't flow at all!  He somehow makes that swing flow like butter.

I'd take Bubba Watson just for Driver, regardless of the results aspect, I just enjoy his motion. Very strong swing.

For everything else, I'd like Hunter Mahan swings.

Yea this is a really sound swing, but I do feel that for myself I would want a little bit more "bend" so I can generate more speed.  Or that just might be a naive statement from a "rookie" golfer.

Total homer, but I've got to go with Louis. If I minted one 3-iron in my life like this, I would die happy.

Also like that he keeps it pretty simple.

Jim Furyk.   He's the most like me, except his swing is on the same plane time after time after time.  I would be very happy to have his swing.

I said Freddie Couples for tempo but if I was pressed for someones mechanics then Hunter Mahan is the kind of one planer I want to be.

I would like Dufner's Swing for long game, but not his short game or putting stroke!! (I have that already )

I would take Tigers short game and putting over anyone else , the only thing I have of his is a bad back and the ability to pull the ball left.

Prettiest swing out there has to be Luke Donald. Even if I couldn't score well I would like Luke's swing and short game so he's my choice.

im beginning to really love Justin Roses swing, tee shots/driver especially.  Jason Day as well for how hard he goes at it.

Agree, it's getting really good.  Tiger should use Rose as his model :-)

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
