Those who knock this swing know nothing about golf. It's a magnificent swing. All you have to do is freeze it and look at the position about 90 degrees before impact, then at impact. Pure power, tremendous clubhead speed, classic position at impact. It doesn't matter if you do three loops with the club on backswing and fly off your feet on follow through, what matters is leverage and the position at impact, and Hagen's about as perfect as it gets with both.
The score card never talks about driving technique. There are lots of positive elements about his swing. It just does not look like the cookie method that is used today.

Looks like Natalie Gulbis. Guy could chip and putt you to death, though.

i don't think he goes at it aggressively enough, he should swing harder

first time I see his swing... what a stance! Still, very dynamic swing, takes a lot of talent to win with that swing !
