Rory McIlroy vs. Charl Schwartzel Swing Analysis

People 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.
