he knew how to maximise his power to the max he used every part of his body just amazing power and a great man we were spoiled with him the best
that first swing one of the most bestial, powerful, perfect ones ever … looks like he kept the clubface square into the follow thru too
I really want to see Tiger get the record, but would not be upset if it stayed with Jack. Two legends of the game.
NOTHING is slow enough motion to do us any good at all. Poor video quality too.
It was like watching a human turn into a bull-whip, man I miss those days!!

Look at that momentum transfer at the moment of impact… Simply beautiful.
His swing looks like Bubba Watson! I bet this is where Bubba got the legs action from.
after watching this video i reduced my score by 10 strokes. I am now shooting in the 120's regularly! I am so happy.
Is the key that all great golfers LOCK the left elbow at beginning of the swing… Nicklaus does… So do many other great golfers… Gary Player… Rory McIlroy… So i ask, is this the KEY,,, Locking the left elbow at the start of the swing ??? Can anyone pro or teacher answer that question… Nobody talks about it…. Seems like it is KEY to becoming great ! Who can answer the question ???
Anyone have the whole thing?? I know McLean did Hogan(which is up) and others
Greatest of All Time!
The pure athleticism of Jack's swing is astonishing. The all-over-body coordination, the "bigness" of his swing, the jaw-dropping lower body action that's so unbelievably controlled. Because Jack was a bit overweight coming out of Ohio State, and as he matured his body filled out, people have no idea just what a fantastic athlete the Golden Bear was. As a youngster Jack played baseball, football, basketball, and tennis, in addition to golf. He was good enough at basketball to be recruited to play at OSU. Nicklaus' father, Charlie, had played college football at OSU and then semi-pro football for the team that became the Detroit Lions. He also dominated area tennis, winning several city championships. Both men were exceptional all-around athletes with immense power and elite hand-eye coordination. To this day Jack insists that young people should be encouraged to play multiple sports, rather than concentrating solely on golf or any one activity. The only problem with that is most youngsters aren't blessed with world-class athleticism that makes excellence more realistic to attain.
The most underrated gift ,which we all assume is only a little better with exceptional golfers, is hand-eye coordination. To swing like Jack did at a young age and find the absolute center of the clubface, at a perfect angle-even with a stiff-impossible to hit pefect 1 – Iron; well he could do that probably dozens of times in a row before a slight mishit. It's Lennon/McCartney in their prime…and it's not a recipe that can be copied, it's a gift.
Could have been a baseball player with that force.
Cameron Champ's motion has nothing on the swing at 00:26 lol
Gd job thx
Jack Nicklaus is the greatest player who will ever live. Hundreds of years from now no one will come close to winning 20 major championships. Nobody.
Jack basically had a long driving swing!
I wish we had accurate swing speed and ball speed data from back then!
I didn't realize how similar Jack's swing is to Bobby Jones!
Video ruined by last swing
Whats that first swing….420 with modern equipment?
It may well be that Jack was the first player to truly bring athleticism into the game, as when watching him, one gets the idea of someone in the middle of dynamic motion, just as much as when watching a discus thrower throw a discus. All others compared to Jack up until his time looked like dart throwers or pool players, and not that they weren't great at what they did – they were!!! But here we're looking at the greatest player of all time in my humble opinion.
I notice he’s lifting his left heel in the backswing. Someone told me today it is absolutely no-go when I did that.
Amazing player. It looks like he falls backward a bit, I noticed for the first time.
Dude was savage.
If you take it back more vertical like Jack did, then when the right hip moves out during the start of the downswing, the club naturally lays off and the swing becomes flatter. If you take it back more flat, then the start of the downswing makes the club naturally want to come over the top.
The GOAT 🐐
GOAT
That’s how he won 20 majors
At 0:51 you can really see how he violently pulls his left shoulder up while simultaneously straightening his left leg to whip the club into the ball.
That 1st swing. I think he tore the cover off that ball with that small wooden head.
0:39 This is perfection. I cant imagine a more beautiful position at the top.
Jack had the most beautiful "big swing" ever. See 0:39. Probably the most beautiful "small swing" would be Ben Hogan… Tight… tight-tight as Tuco would say.
Absolutely perfect footwork. Look at his left heel free him up to make a huge huge huge turn. Incredible footwork !! The best.
From playing baseball my whole life I swing from my legs exactly like he does. I’m tired of being told it’s wrong. WHY wouldn’t you use the STRONGEST MUSCLE GROUP OF YOUR BODY!!? Warming up trying to groove the swing I tone it down while I get the feeling right but when I need distance it’s all legs.
