Best swings on the tour?

[Andrew Coltart's Knuckle]

Hey all, short time poster long time player and avid European and PGA Tour follower! (Although only managed to get to 25-ish tournaments in the past year or so, so not as sharp as I was a few years back).

A friend recommended this site to me, so thought I'd start by asking who everyone thinks has the best swing on tour (top 5) and the worst.

Mine are:

Top 5
1 Rory McIlroy
2 Adam Scott
3 Ernie
4 Jeev Milkha Singh
5 Matteo Manassero

Worst
1 Rod Pampling

I open it up to the floor.... Nothing's right or wrong as far as I'm concerned.

 

[USER1999]

Adam Scott, Louis oosthuizen, charl schwartzel, take your pick. I'd be happy with any ones but mine really, but these three are up there.

Not sure how you get Jeeve milkha in there though. His is among the worst.

 

[sandmagnet]

Louis oosthuizen, charl schwartzel the 2 best swings I could watch all day long.

 

[Pin-seeker]

1. Na yeon choi (LPGA)
2. Rory
3.oosthuizen
4.Tiger
5.Schwartzel

Got to agree with above,Jeeve Milkha would be in my 5 worst

 

[Fader]

Firstly welcome.

Now to the main business for no reason other than I like the swings or the individuality of their swings I'd go best:

Rickie Fowler
Martin Kaymer
Louis Oosthuizen
Justin Rose
Paul Lawrie

Now again just because I don't take to it for some reason worst:

Bubba Watson
Lee Westwood
Jeev Milkha Singh
Thaworn Wirachant
Matt Kuchar

I used to not like Jeev Milkha's swing too when I didn't know so much about golf back in the early Noughties. Then I met Jeev back in Valderrama, '06 I think it was. Someone heckled from the crowd at Jeev that his "swing looked worse than Arnold Palmer's ball-sack" which was plain offensive. Anyway I approached Jeev about it later to apologise on that douche's behalf and he gave a brief verbal lesson on wood and iron play. The next day I broke 110 for the first time, including my first par. Think that tells you all you need to know.

Ever since then I try to travel to as many tournaments of his as I can, and the more I see it I appreciate what a fluid, pulchritudinous swing he really has. I personally find that many of the Jeev haters these days are jealous.

Was tempted to put him a bit higher than fourth, but I'm very careful to guard against being overly generous to the great man.

This place is getting worse for wind up merchants.

I think those guys were being serious about Oosthuizen and Schwartzel. I can sort of see it myself althought obviously don't agree with it. I said at the top that nothing is right and nothing is wrong. Beauty of swing is a subjective matter Roger.

I'm clearly in the wrong job! If you truly are able to get to in person that many full tour events! If not then Pinochio is a real boy

Proud to say I've never had to do a day's labour in my life, bro.

 

[Pin-seeker]

Iv nothing against Jeev,just don't like the mans swing. But it works for him so hey ho

 

[Andrew Coltart's Knuckle]

Fair dues, big respect to you for saying that bro.

Pulchritudinous??? What???

 

[Fader]

Pulchritudinous??? What???

A term that can be used to mean great physical beauty. In this case I think a pair of strong glasses are needed as IMO Jeevs swing is worse looking than a cross breed between Gail Platt & John Merrick

 

[ArnoldArmChewer]

Generally South Africa rules. Tommy two gloves worst on PGA.

 

[Hobbit]

Oosuterhuizen for me.

Not overly fussed on Jeev's swing but I'd take anything that would earn me a few hundred thousand a year doing something I love.

Singhs swing is nearly as ugly as mine

 

[Ethan]

Rory
Colsaerts
Garcia
Oosthuizen
Schwartzel
Stenson
Snedeker
Fowler

 

[One Planer]

Donald
Oosthuizen
Schwartzel
Scott

Worst swing on tour has to be Ted Potter Jnr (Even though he won the Par 3 last night)
