Although they both have that shaft flattening move, they are distinctively different. I voted Garcia, just an aesthetic preference thing. No logic involved. It's a cool looking swing.

This is what Twitter thinks:

Kinda like Rahm's better.  Much simpler and repeatable.

Fairways and Greens.

So hard to choose.  I voted Sergio because I have admired that flattening move for a long time.  It's a work of art. 

Not that I could ever execute something like that.

Rahm, just seems a "nicer" swing. In reality you could give me either swing and i'd still manage to ruin it somehow!

I'm a shallow person, either would be an improvement over my own, and I don't like Sergio - so I picked Rahm's.

Either. They are both better than mine. If I had to pick, I’ll take Rahm because it is a younger swing.

Really? Cause I've always been using that @CarlSpackler swing as my model. ;-)

I really like watching Rahm on the tube, so I'll go with him.

I voted Rahm.

I could be wrong, and prolly am, but it looks like there's slightly more timing going on in Sergio's swing.

Probably a generational thing but I said El Nino.  Tough for me as Rahm played for my Alma Matter.  But no one was better tee to green than Sergio in his best days. If he could have ever mastered the putter he would have been one of the best ever.

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
