re: Who has the best/simplest swing in golf?

Multiple players bow their wrists at the top of their backswings, off the top of my head I know Spieth and Morikawa both do. But DJ's is the most pronounced/famous.

Yea, you can bow your wrist at the top and still be a damn good ball-striker. I've seen a fair amount of amateurs with a somewhat similar move who can golf their ball.

DJ is more unique in that he has such a huge differential in upper body and lower body rotation throughout the key pieces of his swing, especially as a nearly 37 year old, that are virtually impossible to replicate for anyone without 1-in-100,000 athletic gifts like he has. Pretty much everyone back here would get hurt within a month trying to imitate that particular piece of his motion, and that's where his obscene power comes from.

On the other hand, he maintains his face path through contact, especially with with all that whip, about as well as anyone in the modern game, and that is definitely something to be copied by the everyday player.
