Arnie was good for the game, a very nice man, very compassionate and friendly, no wonder he had so many fans, very humble as well, and I think some parts of his swing (i.e. the steep shoulder turn) were very advanced, his shaft came in almost on the shaft plane for that ype of backswing, now thats talent

@wdefrancesco I can't speak much to the steepness of the shoulders, however, many players including pros do not get into the crouch or semi-sitting sitting position as much as they should, especially in the impact area, with the exception of Dustin Johnson like you said. I too am a fan of Palmer's and I really like his driver set-up...it's a position of effortless power!!
@watertonrivers Oh, and one thing I might add is, and this might contradict some earlier statements, but I hate how golf teachers say not to swing hard but I really hate that idea in some respects because if you look at Arnie, you can see that he ripped the crap out of the ball!!!...:)
IMO he used his arms, elbows and torso worked so well and in such a co-ordinated manner that the mass of moving parts in the lower body just drove the chain and helped synchronise his downswing.
@kyleroar every teaching pro knows that with a shut clubhead, you need fast hips or you have to not release the c lub as much, and that finish was Arnie's way of keeping the clubhead square at impact and not hitting a big hook with a shut clubface t impact

Thanks for the post as always....but I think you should say "lots of Arnie's swing in Dustin Johnson"...

I'm surprised that you didn't comment on Palmer's finish.
