Do you mean in the backswing? I'd say Monty

 

 

 

Now this is moving a lot laterally!  haha.  Like Sagan says, ugly reverse pivot looking thing so has to move his hips back a ton the other way on down swing.   But, yes, he seems to have done all right with it.  😉

He actually stays surprisingly centered going back, but then loads up on the front side as much or more than anyone. The lateral shift is subtle though, you have to watch closely...


 

Imagine the responses if that swing was posted here by a regular Joe for advice, lol. 

 

Good on Rick Smith for not trying to change it (presumably).

lol, looks like his draw swing. He has to try pretty hard to hit a draw I guess.

Yeah, pretty sure that's on #10 at Augusta. He made some weird moves trying to draw the tee shot there & on #13.

So do amateurs attempting to hit 5 up and still trying to draw it with driver

It always looks like he's getting his own body out of his way on the downswing too.
