the golf swing

[DaveM]

Sat here watching the open. Looking at all the different swings on show, got me wondering (this might apply more to self taught golfers out there).do you have a pro golfers swing you try and emulate?
Myself I try and copy, well as close as I can, within my limitations, Mr Roses swing. To me his swing is a thing of beauty. Simple, smooth, one Plane, with the minimum of moving parts.
I may never get there but it gives me something to strive for and judge my swing against.
What about you guys?

My swing is a carbon copy of Adam Scott's.

I keep trying to emulate Jim Furyk but have limited success.

My swing is a carbon copy of Jim Furyk arm wrestling an octopus in a force nine gale blindfolded

No idea what my swing looks like - but it's only the ball flight I'm interested in anyway.

I aspire to swing like ernie els! Smooth and appears effortless.

The guy is sooo laid back he is positively horizontal!

I try to swing like Matt Kuchar - pure one plane. My swing is self taught after reading Jim Hardy "Plane Truth"

Apart from the obvious Jim-type "octopus" swing, they all look virtually the same to me.......
I could be emulating any or all of them......

In my head I'm trying to emulate Luke Donald but in reality I'm sure I don't look anything like it!

It's a good question
Important that you model a pro with similar body shape, posture etc

I always wanted an Ernie Els swing, but being 5'7" my pro modelled me on David Frost instead, limited compact backswing.
