I envy Louis Oosthuizen`s swing but I don't bother trying to copy it, he`s a pro I'm not I have to be realistic!

Nooooooooo!
Too mechanical.
He was a big guy, and hit it like a powder puff. Not good.
My swing is my own. I own it and don't need to compare it to anyone else. I'm happy to plough my own furrow. Isn't the journey part of the fun?

I like how many are aspiring to replicate the who's who of the golfing elite!
May be better to look at swings from the ladies and seniors tours, in all honesty.

interesting video, but highlights an issue a lot of people seem to talk about, de-lofting clubs - what's the point? Yes i can hit a 9 iron 180 yards if i de-loft it to a 6 iron, but i would rather hit a 6 iron?

I have never tried to compare or replicate my swing to any other golfer, I do not see the point. I think we can spend too much time trying to replicate something we might not be able to do. There is good reason that everyone has a different swing and that is everybody is different.
I could stand next to another forumer that is the same height and weight but our bodies could be very different. I have long/strong legs, but average length/strength arms and hands. The other bloke might have average legs, but big old gorilla hands on the end of big old popeye forearms. That will mean that we will have different swings, but we still may hit it just as good as each other and just as far.
I think that we can learn a lot from studying the pros, but trying to mimic a swing is not a good idea IMO.

When approaching a shot, I often think to myself, I wonder what Seve would do in this position, especially if i'm playing from the Car Park

Sam Snead. What a swing :thup:

His was based on super-flexible joints. I've seen a photo of him touching a standard height ceiling with his foot!
So not one for stiff old buggars like you and me to try to emulate!

Hey! talk for yourself. Anyhow, you dont hit a golf ball with one foot above your head.
On that subject. I went to a local Yoga instructor and asked if he could get me to do the 'Splits' He asked me if I was very flexible?
I replied that I could do Tuesday Mornings or Thursday afternoons.
