Or do you think they are both the same?

I like the first one, I think his left elbow is in a better position.

yeah first one is better...more athletic...but there's a difference in grip and I think the first one has his centers ahead of the ball while the other one is not so much ahead..."old school vs. new school"?

Why are you asking? any secrets to be revealed?

maop99 - good observation on that grip... but that's not why I think it's better. Aquelarre has it right.

Left elbow is in a better place and suggests he had a much better release of the club. #2 has a stronger grip and has to keep the clubface open longer through the swing forcing him to remain un-released through the ball. I also suspect that if we looked at their front foot, #1 would have his left foot flat on the ground and #2 would be rolled out a bit on his front foot.

The revealing thing I think is that the more and more I investigate the idea of finishing in a precise way, the less and less I have to think about what I'm trying to do with the golf swing.

It is not a fair equitable comparison, because one golfer is using a driver and the other is swinging, I think, a four iron....let me see a complete swing from both and both with the same club..

I get the feeling that the gentleman on the right has a swing with less tension and his finish is so much more relaxed. The grip on the first player would indicate to me that he is a big hitter and not necessarily a straight hitter. Bit hard to be definite without seeing backswing and alignment positions .

I'd bet that the yellow t-shirt guy is a straight hitter. He keeps his elbows rather joint until finish, that's a good thing whichever your swing school is.

We don't know the actual result of their shots, so we can only guess.

The first one looks so symmetrical. I can imagine the club staying on plane. His club position at the end has the club parallel to his shoulders. Just looks good.

Player 2's (the one on the right) left hand is too hinged at the finish.
