Since there was not a past, or current  specs in the question, I would have to go with Moe Norman as my first choice. Even the PGA back then recognized it as a viable swing. The fact that no one (probably even Moe him self) could not teach it correctly was the swings liability.

Today, I would probably go with Tommy Watson's swing. A long, successful career, and little, if any back issues sounds like a pretty good, long term swing to me.  I thought Annika Sorrenstam had a pretty easy swing too. I'd also throw that young lady Ochoa in the mix. Easiest swing I ever saw for the short time she competed.

I like Moe Norman also. Tiger did too! Lasted 4 decades as ball striker. Two Master appearances in his early twenties.

Probably Ben Hogan's swing - or Jack's. Both got a lot of their games. But Adam Scott is  good choice - I recall when he, Charles Howell and TW all had very similar swings years ago - but Adam seemed to keep his consistent over the years. Thank goodness he didn't meet up with SeanFoleyHankHaney to botch things up for him.

Yeah stupid Tiger. How dare he win all those majors with Haney while Adam Scott took forever to win ONE-and how dare he win almost as many times the PGA Tour in two years with Sean Foley than Adam Scott has won his entire career. Stupid stupid Tiger. Rick-Can you make a post without talking about Tiger? Inquiring minds want to know. ---- I will take my swing by the way because I know how it works and I do pretty good with it.

wow, I only had time to go through the first and last page so far, I will agree with Ernie, Fred, and Moe.  Has anyone mentioned Steve Elkington yet?

I forget what I previously wrote, but now I'm of the opinion, any. ANY of them is fine by me. They're all pretty darn good.

    • Day 314 - Putting some things together. Better grip/setup, fuller backswing, better finishing position. Filmed some swings, happy with the progress. 
    • Day 130: did a stack session. 
    • Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20. 
    • Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!
    • Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
