A lot of good stuff (i think/hope).

I think that Annika Sorenstam has a perfect golf swing.

Features that I like about her golf swing include the following-:

1) She uses a natural rightwards-centralised pivot action where she doesn't sway to-and-fro, or bob up-and-down. She also doesn't try to keep her USC stationary throughout the backswing, and therefore she doesn't need to use an assertive "butt tuck-under-the-spine" pelvic thrust motion in the downswing.

2) Her downswing/followthrough pelvic motion is rotary, and it is perfectly time-coordinated with her upper torso rotation.

3) She immediately comes-up post-impact and there is no reverse C posturing in her followthrough/finish.

4) Her knee action is very limited - her knees only move in order to allow the pelvis to rotate. There is no knee over-flexing in the early downswing or knee over-bending into impact.

5) She has a compact backswing and never over-swings.

6) Her LAFW is intact throughout her backswing, downswing and followthrough.

7) Her RFFM has a perfect relationship to her LAFW throughout the backswing/downswing.

8. There is no hand crossover release action in her swing.

9) Her rhythm is impeccable. Her arms rotate at the same rpm as her body. She looks like a human pendulum that has no extraneous moving parts.

looks like restricted flying wedges to me (with the ball between the arms) = reduced power.

Something that works so well and looks so simple is certainly worth studying.

Luke Donald and Ousthuysen (did I get that right?) have both nice looking strokes but both have a little flip tendency through impact. Dustin's rock solid wedges through the ball may be out of reach for most of us but it is quite ideal IMO.

I think his distance has a lot to do with being big, strong and fast.

But most golfers will gain distance if they can avoid any left wrist break down tendencies before the ball is gone.

Annika also has great impact alignments.

The alignments on the swing at 2:30 look pretty interesting.

I noticed how in the backswing she seems to pull an pick up the club with the right side and how the right forearm supports the club. It's not TGM perfect, her right wrist seems to be uncocked and then the grip does not support the club as much as it could at End, but there is more structure than I expected.

I'm not sure what to make of this. Do you think Annika has a hands controlled pivot or pivot controlled hands?

I'm afraid my knowledge of TGM is too limited to figure out a meaningful answer...

For what it's worth, I think she uses Hands Controlled Pivot. I've seen her swing using more and sometimes less Pivot motion and I think that her Pivot is responding to the Alignments of Her Hands and not the other way around.
