- Tiger Woods Swing DynamicsTiger Woods' golf swing is a swing that is marveled by all. We all think to ourselves, "If my swing just looked like his, I'd be on the PGA Tour." Let me assure you, you wouldn't! How do I know? Let's take a look.

- Rory McIlroy vs. Tiger WoodsYou're going to find out why Rory has to work so hard and use so much muscular effort to hit the ball like he does. It obviously works for him. But it could be taking a toll on his body, and he can create club head speed much more efficiently. And so can you.
- Ben Hogan Down the Line Analysis Ben Hogan's golf swing is full of myth and mystery and in this video, I hope to disspell a couple of those myths as they can actually be harmful for someone trying to learn the one plane swing. Using Hogan as a model for the swing should be done with a very strong understanding of the swing and strong amount of caution as his swing was built completely around his own personal tendencies of hooking the ball, and ridding himself of that tendency. There are countless anti-hook moves in his swing, so take that into consideration in your studies.

- Tiger Woods Swing with Hank HaneyTiger Woods has gone through some pretty incredible swing changes in the 10 years he has been on the PGA Tour. It's truly been exciting and awe-inspring to watch. When Tiger first came out on Tour, his swing looked very different. Jim Hardy referred to his swing as "One Plane" at that time and you can certainly see some one plane traits in him back then. His swing was much shorter and very aggressive, especially with his upper body rotation. He really hit hard with his body to get distance and he also struggled with control of distance and trajectory because of this extreme body speed and the amount he "pushed" from the right side (watch the "Push vs. Pull" video for more info).

The video at the end of the article will point out many of the great qualities of Johnson's swing and also his inefficiencies.
- McIlroy vs. Schwartzel Swing AnalysisPeople have stopped me ever since the 2011 US Open ended and asked, "Is Rory's swing really perfect like they say it is? The announcers said it is THE perfect golf swing." Interestingly, I was asked the same question after the Masters that same year about Charl Schwartzel's swing. From the end of the takeaway onward, these two swings could hardly be more different. Both are very good, however. Very good indeed.

But as with almost every pro, he does several things extremely well that you can add to your swing to supercharge your game!
- Marc Leishman Golf Swing AnalysisYou may hate this swing analysis. If you do, it's because we haven't done a good enough job of explaining a crucial concept to you: The difference between an effective swing and an efficient (and safe) swing. All PGA Tour players have effective swings, or they wouldn't be on the Tour. Simply put, their swings get the job done. But that doesn't mean you should strive to swing like just anyone on Tour, especially Leishman.
