I saw this article on the Golf Digest website. I love to view old golf swings of great players, because it shows that the swing has not changed that much. These guys were very athletic, and very good ball-strikers.
Here is the link to this article, where they compare Jerry Barber's swing to the new stack and tilt method taught by Mike Bennet and Andy Plummer.

There are two things I love about this golf swing and one thing I do not like. If you number the frames left to right, and then top to bottom, frame number eight is an amazing backswing position.
Frame number nine gets too long, which is a common fault for people who do not sit properly into the right side. There is a picture of him on the website that shows his build up close, and he is pretty thin and probably very flexible. That is another reason he may get too long.
Copy frame number eight...that looks awesome.
The second thing I love is the release. He is fully releasing his arms and clubhead through impact. Check out frame 18 and all the way through to the finish. This is a beautiful release. I thought you might enjoy seeing that...some of us learn visually, and this is a great image of flexibility, power, and balance.
Now remember, see it, feel it, and then let it happen with no judgment or criticism.
Happy Golfing!
