I'd pay more for the impact dynamics!
Would this backswing be cheaper or more expensive?

Aesthetically it's a £1.70 swing but the ball doesn't care about that. Both of those swings have been pretty successful.

Yup, all that matters is how the club hits the ball.

I purposely picked Furyk because to date they're very similar careers, same number of majors, similar best finishes in majors, similar PGA tour wins, similar total money earned (I suspect Scott will pull ahead, but more due to purses getting bigger)

I know I'm not normal, but.......... I pay a pro to work on my swing, which then becomes perfect. I then get bored with golf and quit.
I want a perfect swing.....but if I ever got it it would be the end of the road for me. I need to be constantly frustrated.......followed by periods of success.....followed by frustration......and usually beer.

Imagine having Scott's swing with Furyk's putting! At least double figure major wins right there. Im in for a fiver.

For 30+ years , I’ve replicated Scott’s swing, until I had my first video’s lesson a couple of years ago.
But I don’t tell anyone, apart from you.
You will keep my secret , won’t you?

Backswing's largely irrelevant, it's all about what the club does through impact.

Not having that, you can influence a lot of good moves in a golf swing with the way you take the club back.

There's always an exception but as a rule of thumb, the point is right. It's the same in cricket where most batsmen have a fairly straight backlift, allowing a straight follow through. There will always be the odd one, usually Indian or Pakistan players, wristy players, who have a backlift with a flourish.
The take away in golf, for most, sets the foundations for the rest of the swing. A coach always needs to recognise the exceptions though, and leave them alone.

Sounds like a variation of "you don't hit the ball with your back swing"
Another meaningless saying that should be consigned to the bin of golfing platitudes. Of course the back swing influences your downswing.
