Is it me, or does Sergio's look pretty naff against the likes of Tiger, Ernie, Poults, Casey,........??

Mr Els is up there with the best, he is a tall man just like me, but is always in full control (not so much like me)

I also admire the mechanics of Tigers swing.

Bob that lady swing is just ace, I would give to have a swing that good. Great tempo!!!

Chris, agree on sergios swing, not the most pleasing on the eye at the top when he sets his plane for the down swing.

I think Poulter has a seriosuly good looking swing, I would give my right arm for it! :D

Where's the master? Hogan? Most biomechanically sound swing in history. :) Els loos good, and is in a much better place swing wise now he's with Butch, but his swing with Leadbetter was seriously flawed.

Look at how inconsistent all his students are. Why? Because he's teaching this weird move of releasing the club early from the top of the swing and using a crossover release. This Is why Poults is prone to the shanks. An early release just pitches all your leverage away.

It's mad cos DL's early swing theories are bang on - the body drives the swing.

Calcavecchia's - worst one?

I take your Calvaveccia....and raise you a Monty!

Monty's is bloody awful, look at the over swing

I could watch Luke Donald's all day, agreed on Poulters too...very nice.

I actually love to watch Monty's swing , especially his irons. OK , it may not be the most technically adept swing but is long languid and smooth that it looks effortless !!!

Got to agree, after Freddie's, I'd love to have a swing like Monty.

And surely for bad swings, it's a one horse race isn't it.....Eamonn Darcy?

It does look very out of synch to me.

What amazed me with the side on videos, is just how far behind the ball they keep their heads just before impact. For a chronic swayer like myself, it's a stark reminder of where I have to improve.

Ladies & genteleman.....i present to you, the one, the only....Jim Furyk!!!!

In all seriousness, his swing is amazingly ugly, its not "the norm" but hey, it gets him results.

only watched a couple so far,
Calch's as we are of similar displacement - he seems to straighten the right knee on his take-away or is it my imagination? (this is also (one of) my fault)
Ollie's - know I know what driving off a planted left leg is.
