I am of the opinion that Jim's swing works well in the highest competition but he could swing even better with a more efficient pattern.

His natural talent makes his relatively inefficient swing work - imagine that same quantum of talent being used to power a more efficient swing!! Would I advise him to search for that swing pattern NOW ?? Only if he wants to become a global force like Woods or Els and win 4+ majors. Imagine Jim's hand eye coordination, steely grit AND a more efficient machine...

Tell you one, i'll swing like Jim for an entire round and give you a few shots as well. Efficient? Maybe you should criticize someomes swing when you can out perform their ballstriking at the very least.

His alignments are fine and last i checked he was top 10 in the world and has been a consistent member of the ryder cup. You sound like all his coaches who told him:

won't play college golf with that grip (double overlap)
won't play profesisonal golf with that swing

Well we all know what happenend with that above statement.
