- Some swings on tour are just too smooth for even a tour pro. Here's a look at the top 20 sweetest swingers in golfing history, listed by Bleacher Report:
1. Ben Hogan
2. Fred Couples
3. Bobby Jones
4. Mickey Wright
5. Sam Snead
6. Jack Nicklaus
7. Adam Scott
8. Nick Faldo
9. Payne Stewart
10. Steve Elkington - กีฬา
Payne Stewart's swing was a thing of absolute beauty. He is still missed. What a legend.
I modeled my swing after Payne. His swing is so smooth and easy.
I agree. Payne Stewart, IMO the most graceful swing of all time, possibly followed by Bob Charles, the left handed New Zealander.
There's something about that swing. There's a tempo to it. His swing matches his upbringing and how he learned the game. Going to try and work on capturing some part of his swing into mine. I've been going through Hogan's 5 lessons like a text book.
I loved watching Payne Stewart. What a smooth golf swing! Miss him!
Amen....
Nothing will ever be better than Ben Hogan’s swing. The rhythm, co-ordination, grace and fluidity is unmatched, it’s a thing of total beauty!
One modern player I would definitely have here is Louis Oosthuizen, whom I believe has the best swing currently on tour. He is also a fairly short guy, as Hogan was.
I think Payne Stewart's swing is better looking. I think he must have read 5 Lessons as a kid
Arnie and Jack were together talking to the media when Arnie said "Jack is a mediocre golfer who has had a 40 year lucky streak" The whole room fell out in laughter.
Bobby jones swing is insane. Crazy someone can come up on their toes in the front foot and still have a solid swing. And he goes to 130 degrees on the backswing. Just crazy. What an athlete.
Wow! Nice. Sam's head is so still on his back swing. Mark of a super player.
THE best natural swing in the history of the game IMHO...
Payne Stewart’s swing is a mix of Hogan, Snead, Jones, Hagen and Vardon. He even had the style down as well, as The knickers really accentuated his swing. He knew how to really reincarnate the classic golf era like no other player.
Ben Hogan’s swing is a work of art
and also result of his blood,sweat,and tears.
Great swing but more functional than beautiful. Defo in top 10 of all time though.
Ben Hogan's swing is a thing of beauty.
Yup!! The body motions alone are breathtaking and explosive. This thumbnail photo with hogan's right arm tucked in that far into the downswing and the clubs barely moved??? let's us know we were doing it all wrong. Ultimate lag versus hideous cast!
My 3 are Payne Stewart, Sammy Snead, and Bobby Jones. All sweet long flowing swings!
still love to watch Elk swing.....so pure.
1. Ben Hogan - 15:49
2. Fred Couples - 13:46
3. Bobby Jones - 11:53
4. Mickey Wright - 10:31
5. Sam Snead - 8:37
6. Jack Nicklaus - 6:22
7. Adam Scott - 4:07
8. Nick Faldo - 2:47
9. Payne Stewart - 2:00
10. Steve Elkington - 0:00
Freddy Couples still has an amazing, effortless swing.
I love this video. I love the music. I love the legends swings. When i leave i just think of that Mickey Wright swing and its not even close.
Snead and Couples are my favorite because they r silky smooth but the one remarkable thing about Nicholas’ swing is how he keeps his nose behind the ball even after the follow through where everyone else’s’ head moves forward...sometimes a foot farther. I wish I could stay behind the ball like jack did.
I could watch Freddies swing all day
Amazing how well Jones hit the ball with that loop😳
Mr. Payne Stewart you are so very missed! Take care!
A couple of guys already pointed out Tom Weiskopf. Best I swing I ever saw. Watch the 75 Masters. Poetry Seve also had a beautifully rhythmic swing. Jack had a highly effective, powerful swing, but it wasn't sweet--it was violent. Same with Norman. And actually, I think Tom Watson might belong on this list. Long, simple motion. Even after he couldn't putt, he still hit the ball beautifully.
I would have included Al Geiberger, but Sneed's' swing was always my favorite.
What a great follow through Hogan had. Only about 5'8" and less than 150lbs in his prime and able to hit the long ball out there with Snead and the other long hitters.
Amazing that he was one of the most accurate ball strikers when it looked like he was swinging as hard as he could.
Payne Stewart - best swing of all time! Jerry Pate 2nd, Seve 3rd, Olazabal 4th, Els 5th.
To me Mickey Wright is # 1.... what a swing , that is perfection!
Have a look at Joyce WETHERED, after playing an exhibition round with her in England, Bobby said he has never felt so outclassed by a golfer, not only did she not miss a shot, she didn't even half miss one, no wonder her swing was the same as his. He hit it longer but they had poetic swings. Bobby's contemporaries said Jones could hit it over 300 if he needed to, with that ball and those wooden shafted clubs. He would've bombed it today, Bryson would be playing first all day. Jones and jacks swing arcs were two of the longest in golf's long history.
Seriously got emotional during Ben’s part. Man I love this game.
I am with you Tony. I don't know what this game does to us, but it does something.
Can't explain to a non golfer what it feels like when you are hitting it pure and on your game. Best wishes to golfing till the end! Cheers!
Love Hogan's simplicity. Does anyone swing like him these days? Wonder how many days to copy his swing?
That was literally one of the greatest videos I have ever seen.
Watching this was a good reminder to keep the right elbow in tight and fold it the correct way as all these great players do.
Fred Couples....he flares his right elbow, however its tucked tight on down swing
Mickey Wright. The best by far.. If you know what your looking at that is.
Young Fred Couples swing was incredible.
I know very little about golf history, but as someone trying to get better, I gotta say it: Ben Hogan was it. It's crazy that golf has progressed so much, but someone figured out the perfect biomechanic form for the sport decades before I was a twinkle in my father's eye.
I go through his 5 lessons and am amazed at the thought he put into just the grip.
I can’t believe the Big Easy is not on here.
he is in section 1
Mikey Wright!! What an awesome action!
Hogan said in an interview hers' was the best.
Her swing is ridiculously good 👍
Bobby Jones swing is a product of having shafts that are way too flimsy. Look at the way he controls it by keeping it close to his body, and then letting it settle at the top of his swing so he can control the forward bend on the way down. Amazing swing.
His swing would have been a lot different if he had learned with steel shafts like the rest of these players did.
Graphite shafts, modern driver, who cracks it farther? Jones or Hogan? Just curious.
Payne Stewart is likened to a crane. It's beautiful and the tempo seems to be a dragon landing. I want to see it.
i liked Mickey Wrights swing. awesome
Hell yes. Thankfully videos like this keep her from becoming forgotten.
Hogan said it was the best
多謝上傅👍👍👍👍👍❤️🙏🙏🙏
I like the old school heel raise. It’s what I do. Get a lot of guff for it, but i love showing people vids like these
Many great swing among these pros, but for me the best swing of all was Ben Hogan. I try to emulate his swing when I play, with varying degrees of success.
Jarring transition from #3 Jones to #2 Couples. Could the takeaways be more different? Thx for the Mickey Wright clips.
Payne Stewart had the most flowing swing ever. Really syrupy.
Hogan was either in, or nearly in, the slot at the top. No dropping of the hands. Efficient. Beautiful.
Hogan's swing was so flat at the top that he couldn't drop his hands.
Where does Matthew Wolfe's swing fit in?
But seriously, I thought Ernie Els' swing would've been on here. He deserves it.
Stefan Gagnon he is on part one. 🤗
@@Mcweeever OK, cool. I'll check it out then. Thanks.
Mickey Wright was doing it Just like all those Korean LPGA girl are doing these days.
She already knew back then...
Amazing how their heads stay so still
Hola se olvidaron de Thomas Weiskopf que fue el mejor swing y la mejor pegada desde joven. Un abrazo. Desde Tucumán-Argentina
Thanks Happy Lucky Healthy Lovely life to all friends
this is awesome
Great videos of their swings. However, I would have added Byron Nelson in the mix.
Vijay Singh belongs here. Very full, rhythmic motion with lots of power. And for pure ease and simplicity: Anneke Sorenstam
Adam Scott is my favorite. Probably because we are built about the same. For some reason Chi Chi, Lee, and Arnold didn't make this list, I like their swings because they were homemade and effective. The only time I felt sorry for a poor little golf ball that never hurt anyone was when Ray Floyd hit one. Mr. Floyd hit balls like he was mad at them.
Just simply my opinions and observations. I'm going to another video to watch Ray Floyd murder some poor, unsuspecting golf balls, and go to sleep. Hopefully I don't have nightmares of being a ball in Ray Floyds bag. Can you think of anything worse?
Optics are great.. doesn’t mean you can win major championships! Jacks swing wasn’t beautiful at all,but he was clutch for 18 majors he made PUTTS! Adam Scott beautiful golf swing.. Penny Putter only one major. Fred couples need I say anything. Last but not least Ben Hogan with such a beautiful swing he should have won more championship.. people will say what about his accident... what about it he focused on ball striking putter took a back seat.. Sam Snead beautiful and many wins on tour awesome. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder..
All pretty swings. The best of this group, to me, was Payne Stewart. Mickey Wright was awesome. If I could duplicate it I would take Bobby Jones. I can also see why Nicklaus was able to hit the ball so high. His swing plane, at the top, looked absolutely vertical.
Good observation
Others: Tom Purtzer, Oosthuizen, Knudson. Frank Fowler (Calgary, Canada) : best driver I've ever seen.
I remember watching Purtzer and he hit the driver so far and where he wanted it. Maybe the best swing outside of Snead that I've seen. Pure just like Sam. Didn't over swing, just let his natural abilities take over. Purtzer should have won lots more tournaments hittin the ball like that.
For such a big guy Faldo was a powder puff off the tee, and didn’t hit his irons very far either. But he was probably one of the shortest players with more than 3 majors. There is just a lack of any dynamic motion.
Agreed, but he was VERY CONSISTENT; which is what he was really aiming for.
Robert Dore Faldo was a great iron player maybe one of the best long iron players, and he had to be because his conservative strategy off the tee left him with a lot of long irons into medium length par 4’s.
That was deliberate. He started off long and wild and revamped the whole swing for control. It cost him distance, but won him 6 majors. Curtis Strange did much the same thing. Smart moves, of course, but for me nothing beats crushing the long ball. I couldn't do it.
I find him ultra annoying in many ways
Freddie just woke up. Decided to swing a stick. Looks like he’s just a natural.
Snead's swing goes well with the jam selection.
When you understand the Ben Hogan swing you will understand golf😁
Ben Hogan's swing is an A to Z of how to cure a hook...overrated IMHO.
@@robertdore9592 youre right, his book should have been called "HOW NOT TO HIT A HOOK".
Hogan had a great mind for golf, but The Snead Swing is superior; a timeless expression of physics, beauty and grace.
The hogan swing is too difficult to teach. He hit millions of balls to make it work. Snead and Mickey Wright had superior swings.
If you ever teach someone golf, teach them Snead and/or Wright.
as a kid i was told no over swing . swing to the top . but what did boby jounes do over swing ,just one of the greats players of the game
The slow motion swing will always be a great swing training drill to build the correct feel for the golf muscles. Tempo is the speed of the swing and the oil that makes it work smoothly. Don't give up your hzvi g difficulty continue on and you'll find it.
Hard to believe Steve Elkington didn't make an impact on the Champions Tour.
Ernie Els, Retief Goosen....would definitely be on my list.
Need some clips of Hogan pre-accident. Much more dynamic lower body action.
great video...please, what is the piano piece playing during Bobby Jones? Thanks!
Thank you for liking this video, it's the Demon's lullaby song
@@golfleaks5322 are you sure about that? I looked for it everywhere online and cannot find it. Do you happen to know the composer? Thanks sorry about all the questions
This is the instrumental music of Demon's lullaby. Unfortunately I'm not able to link to the song because it violates the TH-cam's community guidelines. But you can search for the author name Jule Konrad / Fearlessness-2015
Hands down Ben Hogan had the greatest swing in golf. Technically flawless with a beautiful tempo.
Mickey Wright's is the best for me (only by 10,000 miles)
I'd take Hogan's mind and Snead's swing.
Louis Oosthuizen? Best modern swing for me. I thought this was “sweetest”? Sweetest implies effortless, none more effortless than Louis’ in my opinion. Thanks for the vids tho. “Meant to start conversations, not end them” as they say.
Lovely video content! Apologies for chiming in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (do a search on google)? It is a smashing exclusive guide for revealing an effortless golf swing technique without the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my mate got great success with it.
i would imagine Louis is in part 1
Jeff Keefer good point. Although, I felt it would be lazy on my part not to check. Unfortunate to report, he was not. Part 1 was also ranked 11-20. Apparently, this list was compiled by Bleacher Report so shame on them, not the video creator.
@@ichiro85 yeah i checked after commenting....amazingly stupid omission
There was only one Jack Nicklaus. When Jack was young, Bobby Jones said of him that Jack played a game with which Bobby was not familiar.

Awesome
We are proud of your praise. Thanks for watching and subscribe for next video
Tom Weiskoph in the 70’s and 80’s swing was pure
Totally agree. It looked effortless yet his length was prodigious. I'd bump Jack with TW.
Best swing I ever saw. Watched him hit a bucket of drivers once. AWEsome.
Good video! I liked Elkington but also watched Tom Purtzer and Jodie Mudd when they were close to the lead.
Agree 100% with Tom Purtzer!!!
Jodie Mudd, now there is a name from the past. He doesn't even remember he was good.
But he sure was. Love Elk and Purtzer.
I miss Payne Stewart. The thing that I look at in all these swings is look at their hands and arms in the delivery position. They are all pretty much I. The same position. Hands opposite right thigh. In my swing, many times my hands are trailing my body at that position.
One thing's certain...they all keep their head behind the ball at impact.
Are you a professional golfer? Sound like good!
And still. 👍
You can have the prettiest swing in the world. But you still need the ferocity of a champion.
Golf is so difficult to master. Adam Scott's swing is almost athletic perfection yet he can still hit the occasional bad shot. There's no hope for us mere mortals. :)
Mickey Wright. Great athlete, great swing.
+William Taylor : I'm sorry that there is not too much document about her
Just the fact that Mr. Hogan put her #1 on his favorite swing list should get her in there somewhere. Who knows, maybe there needs to be Top 20 Female swing list as a counterpoint. I'd vote for Kris Tschetter to be on that list.
Mickey's book, "Play golf the Wright way" is a must for any golf library. Simple instruction, and great photos. Her downswing was as dynamic as any you'll find.
Is the music by Phillip Glass? Sounds a bit like Koyaanisqatsi...
Count Yogi, aka Harry Frankenberg, the king of golf, gave Ben Hogan lessons. Should have been in this for sure.
How is Looie Oosthuizen not on the list? Smoothest swing ever
Sam had the most durable swing of them all won more tournaments in more decades than anyone .
Slammin Sam. I think his is the most important swing. He was the first power swinger and still one of the best ever. His shoulder turn is like gumby and the way he uses the ground for power is what everyone now is trying to copy. The way he uses his legs is amazing. He throws his left knee forward then pushes off hard with his right foot. It is like he creates lag with his legs. I would love to see what a 30 year old Snead could do with modern equipment.
good list, I'm not feeling Bobby and Jack in terms of the aesthetics. I like Peter Thomson and maybe old Tiger as replacements
So Jack did not have a powerful and absolutely beautiful swing?
th-cam.com/video/w81j8dXzHQI/w-d-xo.html
You couldn't get any swings of Nicklaus where he was like under 45 years old? 22-year-old Jack Nicklaus had one of the greatest golf swings ever in the history of golf. He could probably outdrive Ben Hogan by a hundred yards.
Although Niklaus is one of the greatest of all times. his swing doesn't belong to this list, no way!
+Ivan Torres : Thanks for watching. Please go to 6:20
couldn't agree more
He's my favorite player, and I copied his swing, but it's not a "sweet" swing. It's a power swing--super leveraged. He wasn't a swinger--he was a hitter.
You left out the sweetest swing of all time, as noted by Hogan himself. Ms. Mickey Wright.
4th on the list
#9 got that drip 😅
Charles Barkley nowhere to be found
The slammer is who I want to emulate.
Do you know who Jim Furky is? I believe he still holds the lowest round score on the PGA. So is sweet good looking or great results?
Seve shouldve definitely been on this list!
See part 1
After watching this the lightbulb has went off. I’m going to have to recalibrate distances after this
ernie els belongs on this list
freddy and bobby jones swings are very alike, similar tempo, and very similar impact and follow throughs
Rowan Foxley Jones was a fairly flat swinger with a lot of hips turn, Couples almost no hip turn and very upright,
Bobby definitely better.
It looks like one of the clips of Nick Faldo, was actually Nick Price???
I'd like to know more about the music, such as album and composer, if you have that information readily available. Thank you.
I used the 10 classic songs per video. It is hard to list them all but if you need to know what song I would point out
Guy on the piano ain't bad.
Jack is too old.
Young Jack's swing is much more powerful !
As I watch all of these world glass golf swings
Adam Scott is #7.
He's got the sweetest swing out of all of them.
I would have included Louis Oosthuizen 👍🏼🙏🏼
For me I actually didn’t like Fred’s swing in slo-mo.
Think you need to see it at full speed to fully appreciate the beauty of his great swing. Just sayin’! Obviously I would take any of the swings on the list if they were available (but probably Fred’s!)
