Best Swings of All Time

[tongzilla]

What is "Ball Striking" to me?

Good contact, direction control, distance control, power.

1. Johnny Miller

2. Jack Nicklaus

3. Lee Trevino

4. Fred Couples

5. Tiger Woods

6. Byron Nelson (he was in his 60's)

7. Calvin Peete

8. David Toms

9. Sergio Garcia

10. Jodie Mudd

11. Miller Barber

12. Jim Furyk

13. Fuzzy Zoeller

14. Tom Bartlett

15. Stan Stopa

I am sure I am forgetting somebody.

Notice that even Mr Finney has one of the most pretty and smooth and dynamic patterns in golf, he is not on the list. Lesson: you don't have to look pretty to hit it amazing. There is hope for those with ugly swings!

This wasn't my "Best Swings" list.

Michael Finney would surely be in my Top 25 ball-striking list.

Checked out the AT&T last night...WORST swing of all-time goes to Chris Berman...

 

[Jared Willerson]

Dude that was pitiful...the saddest part was they kept showing him....he got more airtime than anybody

I loved Charles in his basketball days, but watching that swing makes me wish that I was blind.

Poor poor guy.

One reason why I'm glad I DVR the daytime broadcast so I can fast-forward when I watch it at night...

 

[holeout]

Unfixable?



Brian, how in the world would you fix this?

 

[holeout]

It gets worse...



Seriously, this has to be a mental block of some sort.

Does anyone else think there is something wrong with the people in Barkley's' gallery? Why would you stand,sit,kneel or be anywhere near this guy when he swings a club !!!

 

[Kevin Shields]

I caddied four rounds in a celebrity tournament for him years ago. I've never seen anything like it.

 

[thefuture37]

theres a youtube of a pga pro(dunnigan maybe?) giving him a lesson. He does swing better because of it. I think its titled "how I fixed charles barkley's swing"

 

[golfbulldog]

Before or after Bentley J.?

Are there any swings on youtube to demonstrate the difference?? Seems like Elk has always been held up as a swing model since he first came to prominence...ie. before Ben Doyle...but maybe he only understood why he was so good after Ben Doyle?
