WHICH PGA TOUR GOLFER HAS THE BEST SWING. WHy?

1) Tiger Woods. It is mechancially sound, powerful and it never abandons him in the middle of a round. It's also beautiful to watch. Good enough to win the US Open twice (and everything else).\n\n2) Vijay Singh. Another mechanically sound swing that appears so effortless. Good enough to win the Masters.\n\n3) Ernie Els. Mechanically sound, powerful, and effortless. Good enough to win the US Open twice.\n\nHowever, the BEST swing of all time was that of Ben Hogan. Once he figured out his swing it never abandoned him even under the most extreme pressure of major chapionship golf. Watching his swing was like watching an artist -- it was truly beautiful and awe inspiring.

Best thing is for you to hit the local sports shop and get some assistance from the golf department associate. They are usually knowledgeable about the brands they sell and can handpick the best few for beginners. They usually have a small area where you can take a few practice swings...I know a Sports Authority near me that has an actual locked cage so you can take real shots into a net. There is no "best" brand out there because every person has a different body type, different stance/swing, and different comfort zone. Some like metal shafts, others don't. The set you "like" the most will be the "best" for you.

a driver with a big clubface, and a flexible shaft. those are easier to hit than others.

I would have to say Tiger Woods but I think Michael Jordan would be up there with him a few years back.

Well, as for the previous two answers I will say that Ping is good, but nowhere near expensive as Callaway products.  As for the Taylor Made r7, well, I have one and it is great, but the changeable weights wont help if you have a horrible swing. \n\nRight now, the best drivers on the market in terms of accuracy I would have to say the Nike SQ and the Cleveland Hi-Bore are on top.  Both of those drivers are probably the most accurate clubs on the market.

Tiger will stay a top preformer for as long as he keeps his skills sharp other examples would be people like Jack nick.  who was competitive well into his 40s

Tiger consistently hits better shots (shot shapes, recovery shots)\nPhil has hit some of the most amazing shots ever, but has also had to hit those shots because of poor previous shots.\n\nPhil is certainly great, but I will have to go with Tiger. His game elevates when needed. Once Phil gets some more time with Rick Smith and Dave Pelz and refines him game, I think he will be the one to watch for many years.

Lance could never win the masters with all the practice in the world.  I believe it was Michael Jordan who called Tiger Woods the greatest physical athlete he has seen. The Tour de Surrender takes an incredible amount of endurance training and is not easy.  However, I think this would be easier to obtain for an athlete like Tiger than to be able to learn to strike a golf ball well enough to win the Masters.

Best player on the male tour? Without a doubt, it's Roger Federer. The women's tour is a bit different. Whereas Federer as an all around game, the top women have strenghts in different areas. The best technical player is Martina Hingis. The best power player is a tie between Maria Sharapova and Amelie Mauresmo. Finally, the best defensive player is Justine Henin-Hardenne. But, if I had to pick one player that has a close to all around game, it would be Kim Clistjers. She is, an amazing player with amazing abilities!

following these three guidelines can lead to a smooth and sound takeaway.\n\nhttp://www.pga.com/improve/tips/swing/improve_krause083104.cfm

It's been said that the driver is the second most important club in your bag-- next to your putter. A good drive sets the tone for the rest of the hole. Will you be scrambling just to get back on the fairway, hoping for pars and bogeys-- or will you be aggressively going for the green and for birdies? \n\nBy squeezing a few extra yards out of those drives, the subsequent iron shot will be that much easier, as will your chips, putts, and so on. \n\n1. Body Coil - Tiger Woods, Fred Couples, and other greats generate tremendous power by coiling the upper body with a big shoulder turn. The hips, however, don't turn nearly as much. This creates tension and torque, not unlike a rubber band being stretched before it's let go. How do you accomplish it? Try to keep the right leg and knee solid as you take the club away and fully rotate your shoulders. On the downswing, unwind and rotate through the ball with your hips. Make sure your navel is facing the target at the end of the swing to ensure a full turn. \n\n2. Developing a "Lag" - Successful drivers all have a "lag" in their swing. On the downswing, the wrists must release their energy at some point. When this happens is key. The closer to impact with the ball, the more stored power there will be. Many golfers deliver this source of power near the top of the swing or early on the way down, and end up swinging with just arms at contact. This is commonly called "casting"--the opposite of lag. One drill to improve this is to cock your wrists at the top of the backswing so that there's a right angle between your arm and club. Pull the club down in slow motion, while doing your best to retain this angle. Try to incorporate this into your full swings, and remember to release those wrists through the ball! \n\n3. Swinging with the Whole Body - Some of the biggest muscles in your body are the upper legs and trunk, and you should use them to put power in your swing. On the downswing, your legs should begin the drive and the trunk begins the turn. Also, the bigger muscles have much less chance to twitch under pressure than do the smaller ones. This is why good swingers seem to move effortlessly--the small muscles are being led by the larger ones. This is called "swinging with the whole body." Try it! \n\n4. Left Arm Straight at the Top - Make sure your left arm is kept relatively straight on the backswing to ensure a wide swing arc. Keep some distance between the hands at the top of the swing and your shoulders and head. This produces more club head speed without swinging any harder. Davis Love III and Vijay Singh are great examples of this. Watch them, and internalize what you see!

I think Phil Mickelson has to be the favourite going into the Masters after his stunning victory in the recent Bell South Classic. He seems to be playing very consistent golf and is a former champion.\n\nTiger is not the favourite because he is quite understanbly focused on his father's health at the moment, but it is never wise to rule him out at Augusta. Retief Goosen and Ernie Els should be placed as outsiders as they are good accurate players, though they haven't found full form yet.

Phil Mickelson.  (And my prediction has nothing to do with the fact that he is my favorite player.)

The Grafalloy Pro-Launch Iron. It is pretty light and is one of the coolest looking shafts around. It has a low bend point so your shots will go very high for dead stops on the greens. It's torque is also perfect for players.
