Best 'pro' model

[woosey]

Hey Guys,

Just wondered who you guys tend to use as your yard stick for comparing your swing against. I was using luke donald until his epic hip slide on the backswing made me think that maybe he's not the best to copy! My current benchmark is hunter mahan, as mechanically it's a pretty simple swing

So who is your yard stick? :mmm:

Anyone who I used as a yardstick for comparing my swing to would sue me for every penny I haven't got....

Why pick two extremes? Why not go with someone who is run of the mill like Louis Oosthuizen, Duffner?

Although there's no point in picking someone with a one-plane action if you are two-plane (and vice versa)

You had Luke Donald who is two-plane, now you've gone to Mahan who is one-plane

I happen to like Duffner's one-plane swing on the basis that he's a fantastic golfer and doesn't even look like an athlete...
just forget the waggles and watch how simple his action is....

Ernie Els and Adam Scott as they are both similar height and build to myself and thats were the comparison ends

To be honest i started with golf who have good ball striking abilities, i started with garcia, but slowing his swing down scared me i settled with luke

I hadn't really noticed the plains if i'm being honest - i'm off to google what the difference is

How about Ryan Moore he can give Jeev a run for his money

Tommy 2-gloves!

LPGA swings are much more likely to be close to swings we can aspire to - boob evasion notwithstanding (or maybe not!).

Male Pros are much more athletic, powerful and flexible than any hacker is likely to be!

I don't consciously try to model my swing on anyone else but if I heed to get a good positive image in my head before a shot I try to think of Tom Watson. Nice simple swing and a good match for me as I also have quite a brisk tempo.

I love this swing.......Very similar to what im after.....In that im also a 1 planer.....Its him or Mahan for me but moreso Duff.......I think his rhythm is better than Mahan's....He's smoother...

What swing?

 

[USER1999]

Yep, that sure is one nice swing.

Can't imagine why you'd like it though.
