Bobby Jones and the SD pattern

[Mr. J]

Hope you all have a great holiday weekend. For your consideration....How closely do you think Bobby Jones' swing is to the SD pattern? What differences do you see? If he were alive today, with all the new technology available, do you think he would swing the same way (very SD imop). Brian, if you read this, would love to hear your thoughts as well.

I like this.

Not much talk of Jones.

Jones, of course, used hickory shafts. Can't put a lot of torque on them and still control them.

I imagine he could use a flowing, graceful swing, but would load the shaft, and thus swing a little differently.

He would have swung like the late Payne Stewart. Without the gum chewing of course.

That's exactly what I was thinking.....
