Top 5 Best Golf Swings Of All Time | Good Good Labs

[@billdunlop8683]

Got to be Fred Couples in the Top 5 for me . Effortless power and flush contact.

[@carmenfazio3908]

Any list without Fred on it, that’s just silly

[@jonathanscott6968]

I disagree Fred has amazing tempo, but his swing mechanics are no where near perfect

[@carmenfazio3908]

@@jonathanscott6968 maybe but the argument is there that Louie’s swing breaks down under pressure and Mr Couples doesn’t so I’d say a top 5 swing list that has Louie on it and Fred not on it is silly….

[@Ryancornett23]

I think he was just going off people that are still playing. (Tiger is technically still) I could be wrong tho

[@ron27ish]

He's To young for the Freddy couples golf swing

[@wunderlbr]

I believe Colin Morikowa needs to be rising up in this list. His swing is absolutely smooth. Just looks so controlled and effortless

[@jond.7578]

Smooth? I think most would say the opposite

[@ironsideeve2955]

Yeah I can't stand it, backswing is unnecessarily slow

[@DanRobbinsUM]

Interesting list. I agree with Tiger. I would have put Ernie Els and Freddie Couples in their prime on though. Those guys had swings that made golf look easy. Effortless perfection.

[@jhebs537]

I agree but he said the people in the list were still playing today

[@str3tchr]

He did, but I can’t imagine why. Unless it’s to cater to young viewers, so I guess I can imagine why :)

[@Jsizzle6809]

Freddy in his prime?? Shoot you can put up Freddy’s swing when he’s in his late 50’s and it’s still the most beautiful swing in the game, including all the young guys. His downswing sequence and release is Mozart level.

[@Hixyboyblue]

I followed Adam Scott on the morning of the last day of the Open Championship last year. He was paired with Billy Horschel who hits it good but Adam Scott was in a different league. So stable over the ball. Hard to describe but he covered the ball so well, it was as if his entire mass was centred over it at impact so well that it was just solid striking every time. He didn't score that well but I have not seen many people hit it better in terms of striking. I remember watching Stenson close up when he was flushing it. That made a different noises when he cracked a few away,

[@pmartin8881]

I agree with a lot of the people on here, Fred Couples has to be on this list. He said "best swings ever, and all 5 are currently still playing." Fred is still playing so best ever and current fit here. Also, Morikawa should he on this list over Louis and Champ IMHO. His controlled back swing and then to fire like he does on the downswing is a thing of beauty. JT deserves some love as well but since we're talking best ever, Hogan has to be here. It's hard to pick 5 but I'd say Hogan, Tiger (in his prime, early 2000s) Freddie, McIlroy and Morikawa (though Adam Scott could be 5 as well). Also, don't forget vintage Ernie! Great swing and super smooth tempo

[@jamesconnolly3042]

Good list. I’m 50, so I’ve seen all of the ones listed and tough to argue these guys. Young Tiger was unbelievable. I’d add a couple names for consideration: Payne Stewart, Sam Snead, Ben Hogan, Steve Elkington, Ernie Els, Tom Purtzer, and Retief Goosen come to mind. But the one swing that i was always in awe of, was Fred Couples. It isn’t a swing to teach, nor is it one to copy, IMO. But dang it was buttery smooth!

[@jacobbruhn6974]

I try and base my swing off of, Louis Oosthuizen, Fred couples, Ernie Els, Tiger Woods and Cam Champ. A mix of pretty tempo and easy power.

[@Pwt-jz2mo]

Colin morilawa has to be on the list for me his fade is so consistent

[@chetwest5111]

U spelled his name wrong bud

[@andylu2367]

Funny you mention that - he actually called out that he's unable to hit draws consistently because of how consistent his fade is, uses this to credit how great of a golfer Tiger is becasue he's got every shot in the bag

[@Pwt-jz2mo]

@@chetwest5111 sorry autocorrect

[@Pwt-jz2mo]

@@andylu2367 Ik but he isn’t talking about how good of a golfer they are he’s talking about how good of a golf swing they have

[@wadewahy6103]

Fred Couples for sure !!!! Also love Steve Ellington …. Sam Snead …..Aaron Badley and Seve Balesteros

[@jrod0328]

Sam Snead and Ben Hogan have two of the smoothest most athletic swings ever. The cool thing is the big turn and natural movement is coming back in players like Bryson, Wolff, and Champ to name a few.

[@That1Carson]

I was going to mention Hogan and Snead! Good to see someone else already did.

[@flowaroundtherock]

Rory has an incredible swing. Something I would love to be able to even remotely emulate, and one that I think suits my body type. Nice to see Cameron Champ there too. Great list.

[@brobeans5763]

Finally a list I can agree with. Usually videos like this I can't agree with them. But this is spot on.

[@jamesporter9610]

Grants doing a great job helping lead this channel. Such a smart dude! Keep it up guys!

[@sloanbrian245]

Honorable mentions that are miles away from textbook but are amazing to watch: old school John Daly, Bubba Watson, and Matt Wolffe.

[@JaronMauk]

Rory's swing is a work of art. Love it!

[@carstenpaul7818]

Like 8 years ago I was honored to spend a session on the range with Adam Scott. Damn that was a piece of perfection to me. I agree with your list but also really like Martin Kaymers swing 🏌🏻 👌🏽

[@josephtate5315]

I am not good enough in most aspects of golf to even request a specific video but I love this channel and am learning alot from it

[@ericschroeder8932]

Great list. I have never really looked at Cameron Champ's swing/ball striking. Good call, as it's a good looking move. Hard to argue Tiger 2001 era. Pound for pound, Adam Scott just blows me away. Louis is unbelievable, as well. I swear, if you press pause during Louis's swing, he looks to be in such perfect balance that if you tried to push him over, you couldn't do it.

[@RobertBeggi]

Love to hear Grant talk about golf. Totally smart, rationale kid. Keep up the good work brother.

[@101965rcs]

My list would have to include Hogan, Jones, and Elkington. My issue with any "all-time" lists done in any sport is the people doing them seem to actually be the "in my lifetime" list. That said, love the content, keep it up.

[@TehZNCify]

Watched Cameron Champ up close all day at the John Deere on Sunday. He was routinely hitting his driving iron off the tee 50-60 yards past Kevin Na’s driver. Unbelievably athletic swing

[@kio3471]

Would love to see a video about course management! Like general decision making while out on the course. i.e. when to go for it, or when to take your medicine, maybe when to use driver on a hole, or when to pull out a driving iron, etc

[@tmunney21]

Ernie Els, Fred Couples and Hogan definitely up there

[@bobbywrongway6494]

Koepka has a good swing for controlled power. I think I'd take it right now.

[@staryeyedmonk]

1. Fred couples 2. Ernie Els 3. Collin Morikawa 4. Ben Hogan 5. Anthony Kim

[@essoteric]

Check out the S. African golfer Wilco Nienaber if you want to see mad distance. He's unreal.

[@jamesdixon7776]

Mad speed. It’s crazy

[@vincentalary3626]

And he is so balanced through it as well

[@leepeters9498]

Freddie Couples. All day. Everyday. My dream swing!

[@agdionne89]

Fred Couples is a lock.

[@steventicknor8059]

You have go back in time and remember that Ben Hogan was envied by his peers and mimicked by so many even modern people. His books are so relevant even today.

[@kaze1234ify]

He is too young to know much about Ben Hogan. I think he chose these players because of the familiarity.

[@Real28]

@@kaze1234ify ha, too young? If he studies the game, he's not too young. I knew about Slamming Sammy and Ben Hogan when I was 15. He purposely picked guys playing today, he said that at the beginning. But yea, Sneed and Hogan had not the perfect swing but a beautiful display of athleticism

[@Jeremy8709]

Grant your the man! You could be doing all this for your own channel. Well done man

[@SGIABC]

Wilco Nienaber on the Euro tour has my favorite swing.

[@oatechaosincycles]

Good picks Grant! I would put Anne van Dam in there as well. Louis Oosthuizen is my swing crush and has been for years though.

[@braydonphelan8810]

I love fred couples. Wouldn't say it's the best or most traditionally technical. But his tempo and hands are incredible.

[@402dude8]

Payne Stewart had a beauty of a swing

[@capnhowdy3406]

Freddie Couples best swing hands down!

[@MarioMartinez-bc1dc]

Tony Finau’s swing is simple and effective. I try to mimic his short takeaway and it’s really helped me to hit the ball much straighter.

[@leroyrodgers6089]

I'm a bit older than you so I think about Ernie Els and Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, Vijay Singh. But yeah my guy Tiger that 2000s swing good god, sheer perfection. Adam Scott was taught by butch at the same time had the same build, similar swing but the results were completely different. Tiger was literally a different animal.

[@tc_iv]

My top 5 is Adam Scott, Fred Couples, Ernie Els, Vijay Singh, Tiger Woods

[@darrenlpohl]

Hey Grant, love the channel. Back in the late 80’s or early 90’s I watched Moe Norman hit balls at an exhibition. His swing looked so weird but the results were astounding. He hit EVERY SINGLE SHOT PERFECTLY how he wanted and shaped to perfection. They had Big Cat Williams the world long drive champ there hitting as well and Moe just blew him away because they were hitting into a stiff wind. Moe just hit every drive down the pipe and Big Cat was spraying it everywhere. It was fun to watch. I heard stories of how Ben Hogan and other tour pros would watch him hit balls at the range and that he would put drive after drive through a tire that was at the end of the range. From what I saw of him when he was about 60, I can believe it. I think he was a savant or something… like the Rain man of golf.

[@chrispin9484]

I remember hearing about Moe Norman about 3 years ago during my first year as a member at a club. I played with a 70ish year old member and he was raving about Moe. The member I played with is a huge Canadian historian, as we are Ontarian and live in the city that birthed the maple leaf. I googled Moe when I got home and wasn't disappointed... such a unique swing!

[@johnyi1994]

Fred Couples, Ernie and Henrik Stenson.

[@ricoiglesias501]

Fred Couples in my opinion has the best swing

[@larsstehr597]

Fred Couples always amazes me. That lazy swing creating that distance. Just one of the main reasons I started playing i 92. Still a big fan and he is just so likable.

[@putting4par]

And why is Bobby Jones never mentioned? As I recall, he won a Grand Slam and had a swing as fluid as Fred and Ernie.

[@mikewilliams1479]

My top 5: 1- Adam Scott 2- Cameron Champ 3- Rory Mcilroy 4-Wilco Nienabar/Will Zalatoris 5- Tiger Woods. Honorable mentions: Jon Rahm Tony Finau Bryson Dechambeau Moe Norman Micah Morris Ben Hogan Victor Hovland Kyle Berkshire (on course not long drive swing)

[@officialmichaelhudson]

Totally agree with Cameron Champ. Super underrated golfer and it’s just a matter of time before he breaks out and makes some noise on tour!! 🔥

[@nastynate9496]

Louis has been my favorite swing for a long time. Smooth and effortless power

[@declanmcteare4971]

Loving morikawa’s swing at the moment. It’s seems so effortless!

[@tinotino8530]

Harris English and Louis O are my favorite “effortless” looking moves on Tour atm.

[@lopetisantos1279]

Would love for you to review some of the “own your golf game” golfers, many of them seem to have peculiar swings aesthetically but their use of the kinetic chain looks next level

Fred Couples has a 🔥 swing

[@wadekelley6380]

Hey Grant, can you possibly do a video of how to properly hit a drive? I’ve watched several videos and I can’t find one that truly helps me out. Thanks

[@Ufc12355]

Ernie Els back in the day had an amazing swing and tempo.

[@paulmarchese7738]

I love Thomas Pieters' swing! Adam Scott always a classic one too!

[@crtc5432]

I’d have Fred Couples on this list or as an honorable mention. His swing is buttery smooth, consistent & deceivingly powerful.

[@AttemptingPar]

freddy couplessssss

[@ultimatejay]

tiger woods and Cameron champ had similar swings when the rotated the lower body so much. And they both have back issues, what do you know. Fred couples has hands down the smoothest most effortless swing out there.

[@spellingchampeon]

Tiger, Hogan, Rory, DJ, Champ. Other personal favorites: Xander, Freddie, Morikawa, Bubba, Brooks, Rahm, Ernie, Phil

[@tomeferreira3121]

I was waiting for Adam Scott to pop up, he has IMO the perfect swing.

[@merr2244]

Mr. Fred Couples NEEDS to be in that list no lower than #3, imo. That man was one of the longest hitters in his prime era with a swing that looked just like a practice swing. His tempo is still great. And his contact was and is still great.

[@3puttpelle747]

DJs swing is pretty athletic and powerful super fun to watch him make a move at the ball.

[@azelo00]

It's got to be either Payne Stewart or Sam Snead for me.

[@palaxfan]

Would love to see an All-time list. Snead, Hogan, etc.

[@alexpaul9055]

1 2000 Tiger 2 young Rory (can’t think of a particular year) 3 Adam Scott 4 Xander Schauffele 5 Tommy Fleetwood This is more for iron swings. And yeah there are a ton of great golfers that deserve consideration for a top 5 swing.

[@manifestyourlife6]

Tiger, Hogan, Louis, Scott, and Rory imo.

[@andrewnapier6402]

A video on weight shift in backswing vs downswing would be crucial

[@abbasrizvi60]

Rory’s arm angle is insane, straight and tight, buttery smooth

[@strokeofluckgolf7143]

Jack Nicklaus and Tiger have the best two ever. Ben Hogan has to be up there as well

Rory all day

[@Butcho22]

Tiger's swing from 2006-2007 gets slept on, but that stretch was very close to his 2000-2001 stretch. I'm not saying his swing was better during those years but it also deserved a mention I thought.

[@pa-r6169]

I'm so glad Tiger made the list. Growing up it was MIND BLOWING to me how much effortless speed that man could generate. He would swing, what looked like a casual normal swing, and he was putting up insane carry distances that rival today's longest drivers. The dude was such a freak back then. He still is of course, but back then that speed was just game-changing. THAT is why he was revolutionary to the game of golf.

[@bobbys4327]

He also swung himself into many surgeries from swinging like that. Some of the young guns out there right now will be in the same spot, not too far down the road.

[@pa-r6169]

@@bobbys4327 he also swung himself into many majors and became the highest paid athlete of all time for a while lol

Payne Stewart, Freddie Couples & Raymond Floyd make my list for sure.

[@kriswickens8157]

Hey Grant, what about a video on the feet throughout the golf swing? Where the weight on the feet should start, when the weight shifts at the top of the back swing and how the weight transitions to the front on the follow though.

[@CampbellSwart]

Pleeease talk about Matthew Wolffs swing in a future video. Absolutely love the whole good good thing and everybody involved it’s helping the golf community more than any of you guys could imagine I went from 20-25 handicap down to about 13 and still improving.

[@trajenkiddgolf6915]

Imo 1. Ben hogan 2. Louis Oosthuizen 3. KJ Choi 4. Adam Scott 5. Collin Morikawa

[@rooboy69]

Adam Scott and Ernie Els are my top 2

[@Chan-zz9rs]

The reason why Louis is seen as one of the greatest talents is his nature with his swing. Although it looks real pretty, he does have much hip or shoulder turn and sort of flips his hands at the ball. So he’s considered such a huge talent as he’s able to be so consistent with a “flippy swing” which is rarely seen.

[@GeneralDisgust]

Gotta put Couples in there.

[@toddchristensen9437]

Sam Snead, the legend

[@rts3613]

You have smooth swingers like Couples, Els, Payne Stewart and Bobby Jones and athletic swings like Tiger, Hogan, Faldo, Rory... Golfers are much more athletic these day with the Mcilroy, Dustin Johnson, Koepka, Deschambeau... Resistance training is a fairly recent part of the evolution of the golf swing. Less leggy to more planted and powerful. Equipment has played a big role as well.

[@blakewalton3449]

Dude you gotta make a top 5-10 all time video. People getting into golf now probably don’t know much about guys like Bobby Jones, Sam Snead, they may have heard of Ben Hogan. It would be cool to see you modernly break down those guys’ swings and help encourage new golfers to check out the history of the game 🤙

[@josephcarter3257]
