      They all have one thing in common - where the shaft, club head and human head are positioned at the moment of impact in relation to the ball. Palmer looks pretty horrible to me but in slomo he is in absolutely perfect position at moment of impact (when at the peak of his game).

    Nice kompilation! There are push(hitter) swings and are pull(swinger) swings.
    For example Garcia is pushing very hard from his right side, as his right arms pushes trough the hitting area with force. This gives him a chicken wing tendency. Same goes for L Westwood and R Goosen. Still very effective golfswings but not very sweet. Ernie Els is pulling wth his left side providing a straight left arm trough the hittingarea. Same goes for Adam Scott. Very sweet golfswings.

    these great golfers have a lot of similar techniques in their swing. One thing I've been noticing lately is how they hit down sharp on the ball, turning their hips onto their left leg. About half way down they straighten the left leg. That helps to snap the club through, turn the hips, and keeps hips from sliding.

    Playing the "what if" game...if Michelle Wie did not have the injuries, what may have been? She nearly made some cuts on the PGA tour when she was 14, and in doing so actually beat some winners...in fact, MAJOR winners in doing so. Not so hard to believe that with no wrist injury that she may have won a PGA event or so.
    Of course, we'll never know now. But if you pitted her at age 14 against Tiger at age 14, she would have beat him.

    The problem with most of these swings is that they're not remotely replicable for the average person: all those perfectly straight left arms, left heal on the ground, and huge shoulder turns. Watson's swing is probably the one here most worth studying. It doesn't stress out the body. That's why he nearly one that Open at 59. Look what happened to Tiger and Couples. Their swings ruined their backs.

    Every time I see golfers finishing their swing with their lead knee facing the same direction as address, I cringe. Your hip is internally rotating 90 degrees inward. Human body isn’t design for that. That’s why lot of golfers face knee surgery and hip surgery later in life. When you finish your swing, your lead knee should be facing the target, which is so much healthier on your back, hip, and the knee. It’s amazing to me, they still haven’t figured this out.
