Which Swing is Most Asthetically Pleasing?

[standrew]

Which swing do you like the best (not talking about efficiency).

Miss Joyce Wethered circa 1930 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivo0n49U3aI&feature=youtube_gdata_player.

Unbalevable tekkers.

 

[jak kez 187]

Luke Donald or Tom Lewis for me.

 

[Imurg]

I always seem to like a "South African" swing...
Ernie and Goose from a while back and Louis more recently
Silky would be a good way to describe them....

 

[Blue in Munich]

Sam Snead. Had the pleasure of seeing him live once, only time I've seen other pros on the practice ground stop to watch another pro.

Wouldn't argue with Imurg's choices from the current era.

 

[SocketRocket]

Did you want us to choose from one in the OP video?

If so then its Miss Joyce Wethered for me. Great swing.

 

[Hammertoe]

Ryan Moore or Matsuyama, could watch those guys swing a club all day long

 

[In_The_Rough]

Adam Scott, Louis are probably my 2 favourites

Snao!

I've seen Luke Donald's close up and that's really good - except for something weird at impact that 'ruins' the aesthetics with a 'what happened there!' question.

Best one, aesthetically or otherwise, for me (and another I've seen close up and just thought 'Wow!') is Matteo Manassero - certainly his irons.

 

[ArnoldArmChewer]

Ernie Els for me.

 

[Maninblack4612]

Jim Furyk & Eamon D'Arcy are two of my particular favourites. If you saw my swing you'd know why.

 

[Twire]

I'd have to go with Freddy Couples

 

[Pin-seeker]

Sergio for me.

 

[One Planer]

For me it has to be Sam Snead :thup:

Same for me.

Did anyone notice that they all seemed to lift their left heel in the back swing and bring it down as the down swing started ( when using the driver) ? And bobby jones did it on every shot.
Is that old school thinking or just unpopular nowadays?

 

[London mike 61]

The other thing that stood out for me was that their leading foot was flared out to give them a chance to face the target at the finish, and when you look at their ages it doesnt surprise me. And I do think Winifred's swing is the most beautiful , that and Sam sneads.

 

[londonlewis]

Fred Couples has a great swing. so easy during the follow through.

I'll see you a Furky and Darcy and raise you a Trevino and Jeev Meeka Singh

 

[One Planer]

I'll see you a Furky and Darcy and raise you a Trevino and Jeev Meeka Singh

And I'll see those two and raise you JBE Kruger

Its essentially to help with a) range and b) sequence. Firing your hips first is inefficient and also difficult as well. Knee first then hips. Range can be extended with lifting the heel.

However, it is not necessary if you have sufficient flexibility, and you can adequately fire your left knee first ala jones, snead, nicklaus etc with the heel down.
