Yeah, I bet he feels real goofy with that Masters jacket on.

How about big John Daly? I think his style of play tends to cause people to overlook the fact that he's probably as pure a swinger as there is. If you've ever seen his swing in slow mo, it dosen't look like his right hand is doing much of anything. Heck, it looks like it's barely on the club!

A fine list of those with wonderful 'swingers' Rhythm and Rotation.
Toms at times does not have the 'smooth' flow of Annika, Stewart or Jones, but he has at times, and has played some of his best golf then.
Knudson had that flow as well. Purtzer too.
And the list of model swingers is never complete without mention of Hogan.

Sam?
Good call strav! Mr. Kelley often referenced Snead 1946 book "How to Play Golf"...not for what Snead said, but what he did. Snead's record speaks for itself and his Swing was a thing of beauty.
Beautiful example of Standard Knee Action (10-16-A) and Standard Foot Action (10-17-A) done properlly -- with a Stationary Head (1-L-1/2).
For a Textbook Golfing Machine Swinging Pattern, look no futher than Yoda. For a Classic Swinging Pattern however...this is one great motion
How about VJ? He sure looks like a swinger to me. And a guy with beautiful rythm.

Yes I agree...nice tempo.
But for the most classiest of the classiest swings of all, that title has to go to
Bobby Jones.

Ever see him hit clubs left handed only?
It's a WONDERFUL drill to learn a swinging motion. I tell more advanced players to do it. If you can swing a wedge with your left arm only and produce a small draw. You know how to "swing" with a horizontal hinge.
Then just "slowly" put your right hand back on the club.
Where do you put the number player in the world?
