...well, does modern work that much better?

I suppose winning both, the us and european money list shows how much effective his swing is!

he does not have"active" hands, they uncock just by gravity and he lets the weight of the club do the work, I think!

i recommend taht swing to most of my lessons, because you can generate a lot mor accuracy and power if you are just a"standard, average" golfer!

No two people walk alike nor swing alike. Golf is a results game. Donald's swing is near perfect for him. To the extent it is imperfect is the extent by which his swing prevents him attaining his potential, but not how his swing differs from someone else's.

I was under the impression that it was result's & consistency that count's & not how pretty a swing may or may not be Tourswing!!! Fact is if a said player is Nr1 in the world ranking's & the other player Nr21 does that not mean that the Nr1 in the world is a better player? Also is it not true to say it's a case of how many & not how that is recorded on the scorecard??

Luke has a hand release, Mannasero/Mahan have more of a body release. The hand release is biomechanically much more efficient than a body release, so I disagree about it being a power loss. If we are looking for an efficient kinetic chain then the body SHOULD decelerate into impact to produce max clubhead speed. He's actually working on getting his hands higher at the top of the swing in 2011. I disagree he manipulates the hands-its just an efficient hand release.

@merv315 In defence of Dan-Lukes strength is his short game-he puts pitches and short irons 3 foot closer than the PGA tour average-the stats on fairways hit/longer irons are pretty similar.

Nice eval Don. Not familiar with your name but think you made very valid points about Luke's swing.

EagleEyegolfer is right and cwytonweb also, another note is this are swings from the c swing analyse program from about 6 jears ago!!!!!!!! Make your same analyse on the 2011 swing from Donald!!!!!!!!

[cwytonweb]

One thing you might keep in mind is that Donald is on the practice tee, so you can't be sure what kind of shot he may be hitting or what he may be working on practice wise. On the other hand, the swing you show of Hunter's looks to be on the course.

Whenever possible it's better to use a swing from an event. That way you have a better chance knowing what kind of shot is being attempted. When you compare two great golf swings they really need to be the same type of shot.

Just my opinion.

You can find alot wrong with a golf swing if you look hard enough. But the last time I checked, Luke Donald is #1 in the World. Leading money winner on PGA and European Tour 2011. Looks good to me, lol.
