Retief, like Westwood, is a great example of a player who makes a chicken wing work for him. It's not as pronounced in the gooses swing as in Lees, however. Great to watch.
Retief has a beautiful swing for sure. Il never forget watching him at Wentworth range during Volvo 04, rifling 2 irons to a pin 230yds away, every ball almost knocking it down. Nobody else on the range was hitting balls like him.
Byron Nelson started the modern swing but Sam Snead had the most graceful and powerful swing ever. I doubt Tigers swing will last much past 40, its too violent and will surely result in injury when he hits his late 30s.
Cheers 23rdman. I wouldn't have thought it possible to keep the left arm bent at impact, but he seems to do it alright! I think you can see it in this video link.
Seeing the top pros in slow motion, I am often surprised how much left leg movement there is in the back swing, and the Goose seems to have a very aggressive lunge with that leg on the down swing.
