Ernie Els - Michelle Wie Swing Comparison

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

This is a fascinating look at the swings of two golfers that are world class but not done alot of winning lately. When you compare the swings of Michelle and Ernie Els, an uncanny resemblance unfolds. The swings are almost identical in shape and in timing. We have never heard that Michelle ever tried to emulate Ernie’s swing, although she does admire his play.

One look at this video however and it would make it seem that Michelle studied Ernie’s every move when swinging a golf club. Too bad she doesn’t have the identical swing to Tiger though, maybe she would have won once or twice on the pro tour. Let’s hope she doesn’t emulate Ernie’s win record over the last few years. So far she is staying right with him in both categories. Take a look….

Michelle Wie Hits 596 Yard Par 5 in 2

This is the Michelle Wie that most of us thought we would see on a more regular basis. This is proof that she can play as good as anyone (women, at least) when she puts her mind to it.

The problem is that she has not been able to put enough shots like this in a row to win, or even come close to winning a tournament. Ok, every golfer gets lucky now and then for a couple of shots, but this video shows that Michelle has the potential to dominate a golf course if she can put a string of these together. It is pretty amazing for a man or a woman.
