Maybe some similarities BUT he hits a pretty big draw usually.
I like his swing a lot. I'm trying to copy some things and adding some others to hit more of a soft fade.

Every "protracer" shot I saw was a pretty big draw. I bet he can hit anything he needs to though. In an interview he talked about end of last year he was hitting more fades but this year he worked hard on getting back to hitting draws.

This kid is going to win by 12+ tomorrow. What exciting golf he's playing!

If he keeps up his pace, yes. I have a feeling it might be a little closer by tomorrow night. I'm rooting for history though.

I agree: hard push-draws, despite Johnny Miller referring to them as pull-hooks. (And explaining in slow mo how the problem was the face was closed. My wife could see the face was open and doesn't play golf. Sigh.)
So how does one learn the Rory hard-draw pattern?
He really seems to drop it inside.....kinda "reverse carry" if ya know what I mean. I'm trying to feel like Rory except with some carry to hit a little fade.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Rory seems to have no 'Tumble' whatsoever ! (shock horror)
He has as much tumble as anyone ever

Chases it down the line more than left?

It is very similar to the Tiger Butch Pattern except modified to hit push draw as the "stock shot."

1) What was Tiger's stock shot?
2) How does one goes from straight draw/hook to push draw? Is it the clubface? Seems anytime I try and go left I never can start it right enough.

I was just thinking he looks a lot like Tiger in 2000 (not just the runaway win). The preshot routine looks similar and the swing has a similar look.
What are the modifications for the push draw? What was Tiger's "stock shot" 1999-2002?
I seriously doubt many people can even get remotely close to Rory's swing.He has played golf since he was one and it's the kind of swing you can only develop at a very young age and even then it depends on your genetics.His flexibility is bordering on ridiculous.
He he can drop his hands almost vertically at the top from a very deep position(club well behind his body) while still able to utilise enormous hip rotation.There is no way,no how the average person can hit those positions dynamically during the swing without tearing a bunch of tendons.
