For those who think you need a perfect swing to play great golf, here are the top of backswing positions of the 12 US Ryder Cup players. Personally, I only see one perfect backswing position, and that’s Harris English. Finau’s is good, but short.
How many great backswings do you see?

Agree on English backswing position, the others have to shallow the club more on the downswing than Harris, creates another variable, but they all are highly skilled. Like Collin’s position too.
Yes, Colllin is in good overall position, except for his bowed wrist. Many current young players – Collin, DJ, Brooks, Xander, for example – “pre-set” their impact position at the top and drag the clubhead through impact for the sake of accuracy while swinging as hard as possible. But as for classic, top of swing positions, there is only one player on the Ryder Cup team in that position and it is Harris English. It’s perfect.
How about the putter grips if you want to see a weird variety.
