well he's had 26 wins on the european tour (7th all time) and 18 pga wins, also one of the highest money earners of all time. probably would have won a lot more too if it hadn't been for a guy called woods. he's also a lovely guy, so you can say what you like about him or his swing but 99% of it is bullshit, nobody has a perfect swing. ernie has beautiful rhythm and is one of the best ball strikers out there, his record speaks for itself
the downward movement is good in the swing, its all you people get brain washed by shit commentators like joohhny miller who although they played good golf say some really dumb things about te golf swing, hogan had a lowering action n back and downswings visit wayne defrancescos channel he knows what he is talking about
A great swing to emulate! All players have quirks to their swing. With Ernie I notice his hips move closer to the ball on the downswing thus a slightly higher shaft plane at impact compared to address. A quirk I've noticed in a number of pro swings, specifically Paul Casey and Els. Doesn't do them any harm!! I could watch Els hit balls every day. A pure joy to watch. Thanks for posting.
@emncaity that downward head movement is such a crock. even with his "new swing" at chevron the guys were talking about wow so much less head movement and when u watch the swing his head moves just the same. he's just changed his positioning and weight distribution/transition which has changed his swing.
Virtually no "one-plane" swing on tour is actually one plane; on an actual full swing, nearly all are two-plane to one degree or another. Tiger is "getting crap" not because he's staying somewhat close to a 1P swing, but because he's got some quirks that make him, at times, less consistent than he could be (particularly in excessive downward head movement and in the way he finishes, often high-right). Doesn't really matter; no great player has ever had a "perfect" swing anyway.
Just as an observation, he _is_ fractionally laid off--at the top, you can see the shaft is a shade left of parallel to the target line (check the shadow compared to the alignment clubs on the ground, for instance)--but, like almost everything discussed out here among amateurs re "swing technique," that's a merely technical observation that has nothing to do with the operation of his swing.
