Top 10 Best Swings on Tour

[otto6457]

Watching some of the videos Brian posted from the Masters got me wondering if Brian has ever made a list of the "Top Current 10 Swings on Tour" or something similar?

I would really like to know who Brain and the other TGM/Manzella Instructors here feel comes the closest to having the best fundamental swing. The guys that come closest to having a swing that would be the model for most correct.

Are there guys out there that come as close as possible to the ideal teaching model or have a pattern that gets closest to where their swing needs no manipulation?

I know I can't quit watching the Retief clip from the Masters. If there is something to fix in that swing, I am incapable of finding it.

I'm trying to understand the criteria for selection - I'm sure I could add some "pretty" swings in, but if this is purely down to effectiveness, to know the criteria is to know what we should all be working on isn't it?

I will edit my original post because I wasn't thinking very clearly last night.

I meant "current tour" players that have the swing mechanics that are closest to the ideal teaching model.

The reason I ask is that there could be a few guys out there on tour that have "the swing" to die for, but for what ever reason (putting, mental meltdowns, etc.) don't have the resume that would reflect their ball striking ability.


Does this make sense?

I thought Brian liked Constantino Rocca's swing.

Im a retief fan.. Does he still bend his left arm through impact? David Love, Lorena Ochoa, Stewart Cink...

I like girly looking swings...
