What makes Rory Mcllroy so darn good?

His swing is so perfect is he unique or does he do something better?

There's no such thing as a perfect swing. Rory has misses just like all tour pros do.

Final round at Doral this year being a perfect illustration. 

Great swing though. It seems to me that he has key 5 issues when he gets a little quick. At least based on that video, looked like some balls started more right than he wanted and a few were left. But, who knows, maybe he was intentional working on start line variations.

I wouldn't go as far as saying his swing is perfect. I would definitely say it's functional and looks amazing. I'd love to have that swing.   He generates a lot of power for someone his size.  He sure is fun to watch when he's on.  He's does seem to be streaky. When he's on he's one of the best I've seen.

It's hard to judge much from the video because the camera moves around from shoy to shot, but yea, Rory is prone to big lefts and rights. He has a tendency to get his right elbow stuck behind him and that gives him clubface control issues.
