Who's got the best swing on tour?

Who do you think has the nicest swing? Not necissarily the longest drive, but the best mechanics, swing speed, form, etc...

I believe in smoothness for the swing and so have come up with a tie between Ernie Els and Fred Couples. Picking Tiger would be too easy, one could argue that he has the best everything on tour.

Couples and Furyk both have distinct outside takeaways that necessitate a correction somewhere along the line. Therefore, you can't really say their "mechanics" are the best. Of course, they both do manage to get where they need to in the end. And Couples, too, does have to have the smoothest, most effortless looking swing on the planet.

Fred Couples and Ernie Els - in fact they're paired together for the first 2 rounds of the PGA. Those 2 have without a doubt, the smoothest most effortless swings. I also enjoy watching Goosen swing.

In my opinion Stuart Appleby has a very simple and compact swing and is all rhythm . My other favourite is Luke Donald.

Simon Dyson has an ugly putting style (that works!!) and a solid swing...

I'm a fan of both Adam Scott and David Toms. Jim Thorpe's a distant third!
