Being 6"3 i like the tempo of ernie (doesn't every one) and the positioning of Stenson. Both hit it a mile but Ernie has a lot of control something that Stenson has developed in the last 2 years

Aaron Baddeley because I am TRYING the stack & tilt swing. I lost some form at the end of last year and felt it was worth trying and experimenting with it. Live in MI and will wait and see once the snow melts, hopefully soon.

I like to think that my tempo is like Ernie Els. But, I can't see it

Over the years I've tried emulate the swings of different golf pros to help with the mechanics of my own swing. Have you ever hit a really bad shot then tossed a ball on the ground and just stroked a perfect shot. Why couldn't I just do that the first time? It happens all too often for me. I've adopted the Brandt Snedeker routine lately. Just step up and hit the ball before your brain gets too involved and screws it all up. It's doing wonders for my game.

How about you? Do you have a Pro's swing in mind when you play?

I don't try to emulate anyone, I just go up, take a practice swing to get the feel that I want, and hit.

Most of the time it works, sometimes it doesn't. lol

I coulda sworn I left the cart right here......

The only thing I try and work on is the good connection and rhythm that Adam Scott has throughout his swing.

As the new commercial by Mr. Palmer says "swing your swing". Nothing more, nothing less..... After all I could attempt to have Bubba's or Phil's swing (as I'm a lefty) but even if I succeed in doing that... The results won't be the same

An attempt to swing just like anybody else would be an exercise in futility for me.

I do look at the general mechanics in a swing that looks like something I could physically do and try to incorporate some of those mechanics into my swing.

Emulating something short with little wrist cock (like J.B. Holmes and Steve Stricker) have helped.

If I ever got my front arm in the position Bubba Watson gets his at the top of the back swing it would mean I was in some sort of accident and would need to be rushed to the hospital.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
