Fred Couples has such a beautiful swing

[crimdell]

Daly should have been #1.  He finished #1 in driving distance almost as many times as Jack finished in the top-10 in that category.

I would like to see some of the older guys with the new equipment we have today.

Love watching Sam Sneads swing. Just amazing

[shredx]

Fred Couples was awesome in the masters last year. He absolutely bombed it. Great swing. 

[michaelobrien]

I drive it 300 yards. 200 yards straight then another 100 to the right ;)

I like that point from Davis Love III. "The golf ball doesn't know how old you are." That gives me hope.

04:00, the best swing on youtube. Great sound, and an example of how important relaxing your transition from back- to downsswing really is...

[Stixnstonez]

If my driver made this sound 4:00 every time I would never stop playing.

john daly is quite possibly the most underated and most loved player of all time the man's wood and iron play was in a different league he has said he doesnt have the feel on the greens that tiger has but he doesnt practice anywhere near like most pros do. he just has fun and who can blame him with the life he has had true gent i love the bloke

[chobeeboy]

Can you imagine if the guys back then had today's clubs? Jack drove 300 yards all the time with steel shaft woods! Amazing!

[gblago]

Sam Snead said, "The problem with most amateurs is they're standing too close to the ball after they hit it".

[nicholasschroeder]

Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy are ridiculous omissions, and among the old-timers--Tom Weiskoff. Could absolutely crush it with the most beautiful looking swing the tour's ever seen. Even Nicklaus said he couldn't drive it with Tom.

Four things I learned reading and emulated watching in golf swings: the backswing, hip movement, wrist pronation, and finish.
1. Daly has probably got the most vertical top of the backswing. Club almost points to the ground. The coil is tremendous.
2. The hip movement initiates the downswing. Ben Hogan has got to be the best in this despite his body size.
3. Wrist pronation upon contact demands the utmost timing. A tad late, you push that ball or fade. A tad early, you pull or hook it. Again Ben Hogan has got that down pat.
4. The finish actually doesn't matter. But Couples' club resting on the back of the body is elegant. Although I don't know how kind that will be to the body. Nor the abrupt stop at 3 quarter after impact.

At any rate, Ben Hogan should also be there. His premise is: swing speed is generated from the lower body to recoil the  upper. And for his realatively smaller frame, he hit those balls pretty far.

Sam Snead needs to be higher on this list. He’s the first player to average over 260 yards off the tee.

With the exception of J.B. Holmes, this is really a list of great golfers who were very long hitters.  All of them are major winners and among the best to ever play the game.  If there was a long driving competition with all of them in their prime using the same equipment I think the 21 year old Tiger would win it.  I've stood behind Norman, Love, Couples, Daly, Woods at a driving range and tee boxes at tour events.  From behind the tee it was hard to follow the flight of Tiger's ball; it exploded off his club face so fast and got so high that it was just awesome to see (or barely see).

Where's Rory Mcilroy and Dustin Johnson

[whoozbi]

I would love to see sadlowski make the tour then be on here using a 2 iron.

[chrismorfas]

It's the first time I've seen that last swing of Jack's starting at 5:57. It's a fabulous display of his controlled power.

[anthonywillis]

John Daley has the best wind up of all time. Always crazy watching big bad John hit a golf ball! Still winds up exactly the same today!
