Favorite PGA Tour Swing of All Time?

[Bobtrumpet]

The swing that I took a liking to when I was growing up and just started playing: Gene Littler.

Gene Sarazen called it "a perfect swing like Sam Snead's - only better."

I am a fan of Charlie Hoffman.

Man, when is the last time we've seen him swing like that? I don't even know, but he needs to seriously watch that on repeat for a couple weeks straight.

just looked up Gene Littler. it was a very nice swing.

The mystique can be too much, at times, but there is something undeniably special about Ben Hogan's swing. A rare combination of athleticism, tempo, power, and grace:

I also love watching Snead, young Gary Player, Boo Weekley...

Johnny Miller's swing was underrated. His footwork was something else. Lol!

What he said..., my two favorites by far.

Tom Purtzer. No contest.

Finally. I was beginning to think I was the only one.

Tom Purtzer

Wedge - easy, smooth, perfect!

5 iron - exact same swing and deep.

Driver, no way, again looks like the wedge.

Oh yeah, and super deep, always longest for age.

Must be true, we were posting at the same time!

Can't narrow down to just one, but can group them into two....

Strong powerful looking swings: Hogan, TW Haney era, AK, GMac, Villegas

Buttery silky smooth: Freddie, Oostie, Troy Merritt (have liked his swing long before his win last week)

aka, "Gene the Machine."

Another vote for Couples. So effortless and smooth. Tried to emulate it but never could.
Others I liked included Payne Stewart, Tom Kite and Lee Janzen.

[Mcgeeno]

Davis Love III was my favorite growing up.

Now I think Adam Scott would be my favorite.

Just watched some videos. Very nice tempo but not my fav or even a swing I would want to copy.

[Palauan Hammer]

Too many good swings to choose from!

Growing up I was always partial to Els, Woods, and Goosen. Younger players with sweet swings would be McIlroy, Day, Oosthuizen(still kinda young), and Cabrera Bello.

Honorable mention: Angel Cabrera, Justin Rose, Nicolas Colsaerts, and Lydia Ko

I am more into function than pretty. That said I always thought that Payne Stewart was as smooth as I have seen.

[Wknd_Warrior]

I like Rory's swing a lot.

[norge5]

Lee Trevino. I love that , like many of the players of yesteryear, it was his own and truly unique. I love hearing his explanations of what he did and why he did it. I am particular to the highlights of hitting wedges with that twirl at the end. Just seem to love hitting his wedges and had so much confidence in them.

I'm surprised I didn't see more Palmer references. they say that it looked weird but was actually very efficient and his positions were spot on.

Too simple?

Too efficient?

If you want fundamentally perfect go for Jeff Sluman.

Even Butch thinks little Slu has the most fundamentally sound swing.

Give me a Sluman/Purtzer swing and a Spieth/Zack short game and I quit my job!

[tstephen]

Tom Watson for athletic and great tempo swing and Sam 2nd in this respect.

Growing up, I idolized Gene "the Machine" Littler.

What a swing. I heard that in real life he was an a** but I sure loved that swing.

[soap1984]

Oosthuizen is top for me, he's the only guy I've seen swing in person and been blown away by how easily he appeared to hit the ball so pure and far. Ernie els I felt similar about but he's also huge, oosthuizen makes no sense the guy is not big by any means...just effortless power

[DrunkenTiger]

Tiger Woods!

[munichop]

Male- Sam Snead
Female - Mickey Wright

[Choclab]

Ian Woosnam for sheer talent, grace, and effortless power

Nick Price for technical excellence

Chad Campbell for the Hogan resemblance

Believe it or not, Paul Azinger because his teacher's book saved me years ago, and I feel like I understand his swing

[johnseg]

I like looking at older swings. Everyone seemed to have a little more flavor. Now with all of the advanced coaching that players get from a young age swings seem to be a little more uniform. Really like Snead. I also like watching Byron Nelson.
