    So for the favourite golfer ever I went with Tiger and Padraig but they are nowhere near my favorite swing ever...

    For a while it was Freddie Couples but now it's Louis Oosthuizen, just so compact, crisp and effortless

    Something about the South African lads!

    I like watching Rory's swing too, but I prefer the Big Easy by a fraction:

    Its Louis for me as well. The generation of power, effortless power, from the ground up is just superb.

    Rory generates his power in the same way and I think that's why everyone loves looking at their swings. A joy to watch

    Have to say I'm a big fan of Adam Scott's swing. Its kind of depressingly perfect. Have heard it referred to as Golf Pr0n by many

    All nice swings, but the swing pros benchmark themselves from.

    Faldo. It's a Hoganesque swing, more controlled, smoother than Hogan's whip fast swing.

    Keeping the back to the target for as long as possible, then 'dropping' the right elbow into your right pocket before accelerating through impact with a full rotation of the hips; belt buckle pointing at the target.

    That's all I try to think about.

    Of the current players, I'd go for Oosthuizen too. Everything just looks perfect(to me).

    I loved Faldo's swing - even his mk1 "willowy" swing :) Around 1990 it though it was perfection(again, to me :))

    Not fan of most of the current world's top 10 players' swings.

    (On a side note, I never liked Ernie's swing :o Most people ooh and ah about it but I always found it boring. I like his short game actions)

    of the players I saw live it has to be Seve

    Magical swing .


    Interestingly I know a low handicapper ( plays of 2 ) who has to look away when Bradley Dredge swings because he can't stand to see his swing ....
