I have been making some great progress on my swing since I bought a Skytrak. I have had it for a few weeks and have had great success with it. It has given me the initiative to start working out the details in my swing over the winter. 

My request would be if anyone could compose a swing comparison between Byron Nelson and Henrik Stenson. I was recently watching a World of Golf episode between Nelson and Gene Littler and found quite a few similarities with what I know of Stenson's swing. I have been working on Stensons swing technique for a few years and found it to be a great golf swing to model after. I bought Cowins videos and studied them in depth.  I recently took a lesson with a local golf pro. His method is about building on your capabilities rather than build everyone's swings to what he thinks it should be. I was interested in an overall analysis along with some help with a push left. He immediately picked up on the similarities between my swing and the style Stenson uses. Sort of helped to confirm I am on the right track to what I am aiming for.

The reason for the request is I noticed the leg action Nelson used is much more similar to what a do. It's the only part I can't seem to get comfortable with is keeping my legs bent at the knees like what's promoted with Stenson's swing. I've noticed Nelson and even Hogan tended to keep their right leg much straighter and more like a point of rotation. Similar to a pivot point. Mike Maves from in the dirt discusses the right leg pivot point in depth and it made a lot of sense. 

I have seen side by side swing analysis done for various golfers and if someone should have the Nelson footage and the software to compose a side by side it would be a great help. Thoughts of my observations would be great too.

happy new year
