Jack in the 60s had the best action. Particularly the early 60s. Can't say that in the 70s though, his sequencing was off. Kind of got it back in the mid 80s, but this action here which I think if from the Shell WSOG against Snead was amazing. You can easily see why Hogan made that comment at Cherry Hills when they played together.
You are exactly right and among the inferior equipment was the golf ball itself. During the heart of his career he played a wound ball; the thin balata covered MacGregor tourney. He could only hit it so far but its design was about maximizing control and spin.
@@maxsmart8954yeah...when the average tour pro drove it 250! Translate that to today and Jack's average would be 330! Which would lead the PGA by almost 10 yds! 😮
@@kevschnibbletz3808 Nope..Jack faced tougher competition: Arnold Palmer Gary Player Lee Trevino Billy Casper Seve Ballesteros Tom Watson..also used inferior equipment and still bombed it 300+ and had a great all around game..was more consistent and of course has more majors..Tiger had a chance to become the GOAT but he threw it all away for some hookers which caused his game to fall drastically..Jack > Pussycat
@@DTB1995 how is that relevant to his skills? He got to Jacks career numbers in 10 years lol. You could say Jack had the best career. No one could ever argue who the best player is
Some folks think he starts his downswing by planting his left foot. Here, he explains he starts by pushing hard with his right leg and that gets his weight onto his left side.
What a great swing. I love how players back then used their legs in the swing. I don't lift my front foot like Jack but I do come off my back foot the same way. So it's good to know it's definitely not wrong, it's just not in vogue these days. Everyone keeps those feet on the ground till contact it seems and its just hard for me to change that and i dont plan to.
The Goat would dominate today's game just like he did back then if he were a young man today. The only challenger would be Tiger in his prime and they would have had some unbelievable duels. The field would win maybe a major every year or two, and Tiger and Goat would divy up to the rest. Sidenote, the field would feel fortunate for the one they would win from time to time.
Wrong. He wouldn’t have a single remote prayer of winning 18 majors today. Back then, Jack had far less total competition to worry about. Today, the world number 150 can get hot for a week and win a major. In Jack’s day the world number 150 would never compete with the top guys. Far, far more shallow fields in Jack’s day. No one will ever win ten majors again because the fields are too deep and it is simply harder to win. You don’t have to beat 10 guys capable of winning like in Jack’s day..you need to beat 100.
@stratocaster0842 I agree , the fields are tougher then ever for various reasons today. I still think Jack wins 5 plus in this era. Still an animal in any golf generation. His swing and power were ahead of its time.
@@michaellozito5022 Tiger definitely does have a case but at the end of the day its the majors that are the difference..Tiger may have been more dominant but Jack was more consistent and faced better competition..I think Tiger is the most talented golfer ever but I view Jack as the greatest and most accomplished
@@DTB1995 Yes definitely. I think it’s worth mentioning both of them in the same breath. Jack outpaced Tiger though. I’ve always been big into basketball and just now getting into golf. Only used to watch golf for Tiger growing up. I would relate Jack to like a Bill Russell/Kareem Abdul Jabbar mixture whereas Tiger is just michael Jordan
Tiger never broke Jack's record like most people thought would happen. On paper, Jack Nicklaus is definitely way more consistent for a longer period of time and his performance during major tournaments is undeniable that Jack is better than Tiger.
Look how long the grass is on the tee box. The fairways were similar. The ball swerved a lot more and they could not get the bite from the fairway. These guys still went low and Jack hit 300 plus. To bad he supported Orange 🍊man but I think a 20 million donation was promised for his children's hospital. A promise from him oops should have kept quiet
What a swing, gotta love jack
Increible.swing....como mantiene la rotacion sobre su eje....GRACIAS JAK
Wow
My favorite golfer ever..goat.
Noticed he turns his head back before the backswing.

Happy Gilmore achieved that no more than an hour ago
😂 love that movie!
🤣
Happy Gilmore got a hole in one on a par 4
Well moron good for Happy GilmoMYGOD!
The Rigth leg push is what a needed!
Jack can hit the ball more than 300 yards with sort of "inferior equipment" 40 years ago.
You are exactly right and among the inferior equipment was the golf ball itself. During the heart of his career he played a wound ball; the thin balata covered MacGregor tourney. He could only hit it so far but its design was about maximizing control and spin.
😂Jacks average distance for driver was 280 during his PGA career. Persimmon wood drivers were the standard with balata balls.
@@maxsmart8954yeah...when the average tour pro drove it 250! Translate that to today and Jack's average would be 330! Which would lead the PGA by almost 10 yds! 😮
He would have been driving greens on 400 yard par 4’s regularly with todays technology.

This is awesome 💥
Great great great pivot. Young golfers should try to pivot like Nicklaus. The proper pivot is essential to winning many Majors. Essential !!!!! ⛳
Blessed to be named after the goat - Nicklaus-
Tiger’s mid-late 90’s swing has a lot of Jack in it
This guy sounds pretty good,,,
Agree

Yeah I agree I personally think he was the best ever
GOAT. PERIOD. SORRY TIGER.
The Golden Bear
Greatest ever or as people say GOAT
Kinda knows what hes talking about. Smooth
The "Reverse-C" of the Golden Bear...
Swing looks good! He should try to turn pro sometimes
Sounds like a guy with about 18 good ones in him at least.
18 plus maybe a couple Am’s
why can't you put them damn captions etc. ABOVE THE GOLFER??? ...then we can see the ball/shot!!!
Man had the power swing way before today's bombers
His swing was so powerful I try an emulate it as best I can but I'm no jack he would've been hitting bombs like Bryson if he came up in this Era
The best.
Doesnt mean it works for everyone, Tiger keeps a compact swing with less arc.
Also Toni Finau
Probable swing speed, anybody?
Elite level. No. Legendary level.
@@mrgalvez11 greatest of all time level??
Probably around 115. I'm sure google knows
I’m sure they couldn’t calculate swing speed back then in his prime. Maybe they did when he got older, but with extremely diminished results.
110

5 inches smaller in height these days

And, lifts his lead heel in the backswing. Yay.
