I love the classic swing that seems effortless with big results, so my favorites in no particular order are:

[b]Sam Snead[/b]
[b]Ernie Els[/b]
[b]Ben Hogan[/b]

and when I was growing up, I thought [b]Julius Boros[/b] had the greatest most fluid, effortless swing of all the golfers.

Ian Woosnam for me, he repeated that smooth effortless power for a long time. Saw him play at Fulford for the first time in 1982, playing with Paul Way and Jose Rivero and was like Wow, this little guy can move the ball with a 3/4 swing and that swing stayed the same for the next 20 years!

Remember when everybody wanted to swing like Tiger......except Tiger. Now nobody wants to swing like Tiger except Tiger.

I would LOVE to have Tigers swing from the last few tournaments he played. Now his putting woes....maybe not.

Samuel Jackson Snead - The all time best combination of smoothness, power, and grace. The only swing I've ever seen that was in the same league for effortless efficiency was Julius Boros. There, I've dated myself. :taunt:

That break, with the ad on your post is perfect. The first line just reads SAMUEL JACKSON. hahaha

I thought it meant current PGA swing. In that case.....

BEN HOGAN - no question. I could watch this video all day.

For sure. A couple videos you can see the flight pretty well, and it is just beautiful. I just wish I could see one of his with the pro tracer :)

Recently noticed Thomas Pieters and love his action. Another Belgian bomber and rising star for sure. He had a successful college career at Illinois, and has been on the European Tour thus far.

Hope to see him in the US again in the near future.

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."
[/quote]
I was addicted to Gene "the machine" when I was a kid. I could watch his swing all day.

I heard in real life he was a _rick but loved that swing.

Julius I believe wrote the book "swing easy hit hard."

Great swing and a good putter too.

Gotta love Snead though. Reporter asked him one time on the golf course "Sam, can you hit it to that bunker out there (about 280 out from the tee.)

Sam said "yea but I don't like to bunt my drives."
