Favorite swings ... All time

#1 Ben Hogan for sure.

Unmatched elegance and precision. Just perfect.

#2 (young) Tiger Woods

Circa 97' masters. You could nitpick this or that about shut clubface and getting stuck, but ranks 2nd for me given its vicarious power and thrill.

Tiger in his prime.

Mcilroy in 2014.

Fred Couples

Tiger Woods

Ernie Els

Rory McIlroy

Greg Norman

In that order

Louis Oostheizen also

Henrik Stenson, Curtis Strange, Rory McIlroy.

McIlroy with the modern driver is a thing of beauty. Seems like he has the "money ball" of high 300+ draw pretty much whenever he wants. Now those wedges though he leaves himself with ...ugh

Prime tiger , Louis O. and Adam Scott. Just poetry in motion. I also enjoy watching jack and Vijay and for a modern one , Gary woodland.

1.) Sam Snead - It's just beautiful.

2.) Tiger Woods (2001) - Golf has never been played this well.

3.) Al Geiberger - Another gorgeous, repeating motion. Those old Sybervision videos are awesome.

4.) Ernie Els - The definition of rhythm. Looks much faster in person, which blew me away as a kid.

5.) Davis Love III - I always liked the look of this swing. It always seemed simple and powerful. Also, like Snead, it has held up for a long time. He's still able to pound the ball.

1. Rory - has one of the most sound set-ups around which is almost the best feature to me tbh.

2. Couples - Not for anyone else to imitate, but his ability to cope with limitations to such fluidity is awe-inspiring

3. Bubba - There's something about his homegrown swing and ability to shot shape that is admirable.

Finally someone in this thread gives Snead his due credit.

So far this isn’t an all time thread but rather a primarily “ in my time” thread.

Top 5 in order:

Tiger in 2000

Sam Snead

Viktor Hovland

Ernie Els

Adam Scott

1a. Ben Hogan

1b. Mickey Wright

2. Nick Price

3. Young Moe Norman

4. Sam Snead

5. Jimmy Demaret

Adam Scott. Love his buttery swing. Also prime Tiger for the thrills

Tiger and Ernie Els. Pretty much complete opposites, but love them both.

Snead, Tiger 1997, Duval

Call me crazy, but I love Trevino's swing. it repeated like the energizer bunny and the ball flight was spot on. Agreed it wasn't pretty but man was it functional. Since the scorecard didn't have room for pictures - then I take results.

1. Sung Hyun Park

2. Tiger

3. Justin Rose

I’m starting to like some interesting swings like Matt Wolff too. I’d really like to see Sung Hyun Park’s swing combined with the clubhead speed of the faster PGA players.

I do like swings that are a little unique

Elkington and Oosthuizen for me.

Of all the swings where people say, "my back hurts watching that," this would be at the top of my list. ;-)
