Finau has absurd club speed for how easy he appears to swing. Adam Scott is a popular answer in this debate online typically.
99.99% of amateurs would ruin themselves trying to imitate Finau or Rahm.
Both of those guys are complete athletic freaks of nature in that they can provide so much power in such a short, compact motion with such control.

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.

Oosthuizen was the one who immediately jumps to mind as one that is fairly imitable and repeatable.
If you wanna copy jumping off the ground at impact to keep from snap hooking it, look Louie has a lovely swing and tempo but its not ideal, if that's what this thread is about.

Dont hate, but Boo Weekley's swing looks fantastic to me
It’s not the most aesthetically pleasing, but it’s a lot easier to replicate than most of the swings being named. Freddie, for instance, has the most beautiful tempo ever, but I wouldn’t teach a beginner his swing.

That's not particularly unusual (I do it), and every player worth his salt pushes off the ground. Thomas, Fleetwood, McIlroy, and lots of other smaller guys pop off the ground at least a little bit.

I've heard it's a sign of a perfectly balanced rotation and it's simply physics playing out. I saw somebody explain it using Berkshires driver swing.

No idea how Fleetwood Mac isn’t being mentioned more.
He’s tops for me.
