What a lineup
I learned more about the golf swing in 5min than the previous 60yrs. Hah.
Whats most impressive they took effort to record from such a cool angle. Its first time I ever seen a swing from this angle. Also if you watch any broadcast from the past up to 2000s(which might have been the best) its more cinematic than anything today which makes no sense since its far easier to do with such vast improvement in technology but I guess nothing can replace effort and talent.
Looks easy!!
All great players cover the ball so well
These are the players morons believe are better than Tiger 😂😂😂 Tiger would have won by 15 shots every day of the week
All three have their hips slightly open at address
It’s better with the music off.
Why do we watch videos when we all swing differently 😮
What is the song? Like it…
Poetry. All three.
The hardest part of golf is trusting the club to do what it’s designed to do. Get your hands into your trail leg and let the club rotate into its impact position without holding it back.
Love it!
Jacks swing evolved beyond this stone went on
They lifted the left leg to get more power with the equipment we use today you don’t need to do that anymore
Scottie’s footwork is like Arnold Palmer
All have a flat left wrist at top of the swing- that's the key
Gary is CAKED UP
The music and lyrics are quite….special!😅
Nicholas had the most textbook style swing. But some of the greatest players throughout the years have proven that you don't have to be textbook perfect.
It looks like Palmer and Nicklaus initiate the downswing with hip movement that creates considerable lag while Player synchronizes his hip and torso movement.
I started playing in 1983 using Jack’s Golf My Way to learn. Back then we used METAL spikes ||||| and the back foot did not move and a lot of the power came from loading it like a torsion bar in the backswing with the hip turn then releasing it in the downswing. The advantage of that is the back leg was 100% load and locked with 1/4 swing so you could fire the hips the same for 1/4. 1/2 3/4 and Full swing arc if the front heel stayed on the ground. That style started in the 1930 with Nelson / Hogan / Snead.
The success Nicklaus had on the tour with his different technique changed conventional wisdom. Jack lifted his front foot high in the backswing and little leg torque is created that way but the hips move just as fast. His downswing weight shift was triggered by lowering the left heel without as much lateral shift before turning. I used the Nicklaus and Hogan styles.
Note how at the start of the swing the hips of all three are open / not — parallel. What they are doing is starting with the hip in the open impact position.
I recently watched an instructional video by Gary Player from the 70’s or perhaps early 80’s. I learned more from that one video than all the BS that you can now find about golf that is “science based”.

Yup, lift the left foot
I notice something that many might not notice.
1. Flat left wrist at the top.
2. All 3 set up with more weight on the front foot.
Notice how the front hip is more above the front foot while the trail hip is more forward of the trail foot.
That is something that is fround upon in today's standards when hitting the driver and I have never heard any pro, past or present, talk about this other than the ostracized Stack&Tilt boys.
The only time I've heard pros advocate it is when chipping.
I guess the Stack&Tilt boys were onto something after all.
Music SUCKS….
This
Right Elbow on the downswing 👍
Great video. Interesting music selection.
Notice how their right elbow is almost pinned to their right side. Not so much Nicklaus (flying elbow) but for sure with Player and Palmer. I heard Tony Lema say that if could tell amateurs what to work on it would be keeping the right elbow down and close to your side.
Arnold Palmer's full body turn at the end of his follow through is iconic, and completely different, but the beginning of his swing through contact is fantastic.
Why do they move like old men even when they were young? 😂
Great video, but poor choice of music.
awesome video and awesome song. i think we would get along BagWhisperer
Square or bowed left wrist at the top…then let it rip
