The perfect golf swing is the one which conforms to the body's angles in relation to the club, and conforms to the physical design of said golf club. Why do you ask anyway ?

The perfect golf swing drill starts with a proper back swing with the golf club swung right back to the limit of your body. At this segment of the perfect golf swing drill your mind should be preparing for the rotation of your body and the arm extension. Next, the movements of the perfect golf swing drill moves to the down swing, which starts with the lower part of the body, including the legs and hips. A transfer of weight will take place from back to front with the knees, thighs and hips all moving forward. The perfect golf swing drill ends with the body weight on the outside of the front heel and the inside of the rear foot. Perfect golf swing drill is easy when your body is prepared and conditioned to achieve it. However perfect golf swing drill can be very difficult for a golfer not involved in any golf specific exercise designed to condition and prepare their muscles and body in general for the strain and pressure that golf usually brings. Most professionals take their golf-specific exercises very seriously, but some amateurs are reluctant to let go of the so-called good old days when exercise had no role in the leisure sport of golf. Still they are finding the going increasingly difficult as more and more golfers embrace golf exercise programs. There is no doubt that the perfect golf swing drill happens only with those whose muscles and bodies have been prepared.

The closest I've ever seen to what I would call the "perfect swing " is the one Ben Hogan developed and used to such great success from 1950 onwards It is a thing of beauty!! It was powerful It was extremely repetitive. It was bullet like in it's accuracy One of those delicious questions that are almost impossible to answer completely is.....How would Hogan have gone with modern technology and course conditions? I think it would be VERY safe to assume that even though we couldn't predict his results exactly, he would have been an absolute sensation

It's called the Iron Byron swing machine. It's a perfect golf swing every time, but of course it is a machine..

A great swing is only one part of the golf game and there are many ways to work around certain flaws in a swing, so determining the criteria for the perfect swing is almost as difficult as the swing itself. Jack Nicklaus was perhaps the greatest golfer of all time, however, it was said his swing had a flying elbow. His success shows a perfect swing is not essential to successful golf and that winning is not a criterion alone. Tiger Woods is also a highly successful golfer and may surpass all marks for winning in a career. However, he has used three different swings to this point and as such, one can not be identified with all of his success. Ball striking should also be considered as this is the direct result of the swing. Ben Hogan understood his own swing better than anyone but he specifically honed it to his abilities and only certain aspects can translate to other players. One of the best pure strikers of the ball, Moe Norman, had a completely unconventional swing that is now taught as the "Natural Golf Swing " but if this was as revolutionary as claimed, it would have more adherents. So striking of the ball is not a criterion alone. His swing also lacks the beauty and fluidity of the desired swing, but these are only intangibles. What is the final criterion? Transferability. If one were to copy a perfect swing, one would be able to strike the ball purely and success would follow with the times the swing was properly executed. Therefore the answer is – Sam Snead. He had a swing that led him to 83 career PGA wins. It lasted his entire life and made him the oldest to win a PGA event at 52 years old. He shot his age on tour in 1979 when he was 67, then beat it with a 66. On top of that, the fluidity and grace make his swing a picture of athletic beauty.

Without a doubt....Payne Stewart....watch video's of his swing, PERFECT! Tempo, fluidity, grace, and power. Hogan was pretty strong. Tiger, doesn't have the consistency, day in day out. Payne, had that swing for his whole career. Music in Motion !

All these guys are dumb. if you want to know what the perfect golf swing to learn from is, watch Ernie Els.

The one that allows you to square the club at impact.

2 words= Tiger Woods

You have to understand that not any 2 golf swings are alike. Each is unique in its own way. So to try to narrow it down to one swing is impossible. So really the perfect golf swing is the one that allows you to hit the ball consistently.

Perfect swing can be done by anybody, even you!!!!! Perfect swing is a full rotation swing ,it not powerful as the stinger but the accuracy of the ball spin,trajectory and direction was fantastic,so perfect swing you need to address,grip,posture,take back,downswing,impact and follow through in a suitable tempo and timing this depend on individual physical,please remember perfect swing is a beautiful art in golf and not striking for further distance.

The perfect golf swing can be ugly as sin. What matters is whether a golfer can repeat the swing over and over so that the ball goes where planned.

The Perfect Golf Swing ? Well there isn't one...Each has there own "Natural " Swing. With that said there are several elements to a golf swing that have to be constant in order for the ball to preform the way the golfer intended. Proof that there isn't a "perfect " swing is in the Golf Hall of Fame...Review the Legends like Nicklaus, Palmer, Hogan, Trevino, etc etc etc...They all made a lot of money playing golf and reached the highest Pinnacle of the sport. However when you watch videos of their swings they are all very dramatically different. Personally, the golf swing that I think represents what I envision as nearly "perfect " would have to be Fred Couples....But again it is different then everyone else's... A great book to read is "Golf is not a game of perfect ". A golf swing has to be natural to you and only you....It is the only way that you have any chance to reproduce the same swing every single time.

There is no such thing, you can have a really good golf swing, but there is no such thing as a perfect golf swing, or in fact a perfect golfer
