From Jim McLean, one of Golf Digest’s Legends of Golf Instruction:

I’ll concede that calling Rory McIlroy’s swing the best in pro golf is subjective, but I’ve been teaching this game for more than 40 years and have seen my share of great swings. I rank swings this way: Would you trade yours for Rory’s? I’m betting you and about 99 percent of tour pros would say, “Yes!”

Golf Digest recently captured fresh photography of his driver swing, and I’m highlighting the parts of his swing you can copy. You might roll your eyes at the notion of swinging like Rory, but there is a lot to take for your own game. I’ll break down his swing into sections and give you something he does from each that you can work on this season. Let’s get started.
