Mickey Wright Golf Swing

[fradaja]

best swing ever!  i recon nicklaus tried to copy

[emncaity]

Hoganesque elements, sure, but the actual look of it is somewhere between Hogan and Nicklaus, and not by accident, since Jack's basic fundamentals (through Jack Grout) were essentially those of Hogan--the windup of the big muscles, the pull of the left shoulder and side, the muscularity of the motion, the hip clearance, all of it. He even said directly that he "wanted to do it Hogan's way." Golfdog is right--this would be the best on the LPGA right now, easily.

I would say her swing is maybe the best of all time.

[AlexCzervic]

I would rate the 2nd swing in this video as one of the greatest swings of all time.

[emncaity]

Really never noticed it before, but looking at these and at a down-the-line shot from a different vid, her moves really look a _lot_ like Nicklaus--not a surprise, given her constant insistence that extension and width were so important, and then that ground-up downswing.

[qbb01]

She is every mans dream, not only a pretty golfer, but one that can SWING the club!

[cgasucks]

When Hogan says that she has a great swing that says alot!!

[larrydonguy]

@cgasucks Mickey Wrights's swing LOOKS a lot like Hogan's in these videos. Maybe a little more upright.

[tnms4]

@larrydonguy Yes, my thought exactly as I watched, looks a lot like Hogan's. Gosh, weren't they playing about the same time...maybe Hogan a few years ahead.

[golfdog42]

uh, that would be the best swing on the LPGA right now by far.. wow.

[danic18]

maybe the best swing in both tours!!

[emncaity]

@danic18

Hogan said so once (or maybe more than once, I don't know).

[BillKelly13]

@emncaity

Hogan was quoted as saying she had the best swing he had ever seen in a lady golfer.

[emncaity]

@BillKelly13

I honestly don't remember for sure, but I was thinking he might have said that she had one of the best, man or woman. But maybe he said both things at different times. They're both right--although, honestly, the younger (pre-over-instruction) Michelle Wie was absolutely astonishing. Really. If that kid 1) hadn't been overinstructed (prob. due to her dad), and 2) was one of the better chippers and putters (she can be really abysmal), nobody else might ever win.

@BillKelly13

At any rate, Mickey Wright was friggin' awesome, and I'd take that swing right now and go make a living with it.

[danic18]

first female i see swinging like a male. what a moton, what a power, coil, lag...

[idatomhue]

She had a fantastic swing. Hogan was really impresed with her action.

[bossofalltime]

What a swing. She'd be successful in any era

[fedorianko]
