Wow, they all used a lot of wrist action and relatively little body turn, so opposite of what’s taught now. It surely makes for a graceful swing; they’re wonderful to watch.
Actually, scratch that–the finish is too fluid…Middlecoff had a higher, more held-off finish, I think, almost a little chicken-wingy. Yeah, this might be the younger, thinner Boros…
Definitely Mangrum, don’t know about Watrous (I remember the name and some stories, but haven’t ever seen film of him). But are we sure the second guy is Boros and not Middlecoff? He’s tallish, and got that little dip…
He is Antonio Cerda. He finished second in the 1951 British Open to Max Faulkner, and second in the 1953 British Open to Ben Hogan, among seven consecutive top-ten finishes in the championship. He won the first Canada Cup with Roberto DeVicenzo in 1953 for Argentina

Depends where you are being taught. You gotta say the last guys looks a lot like the current player Peter Lonard…

It looks to me: Lloyd Mangrum (first swing) then Julius Boros and then Cerdá…

Nice “float loading” with tremendous “Lag”.

Ya kind of. It’s a good short iron swing anyhow. I’d be interested to see his driver swing. Hopefully has more tilt away from target.

looks a little like stack and tilt to me

Pretty sweet swings…..pretty orthodox stuff there…..hmmmmm……
BTW I really like the guy 25 seconds in. Who is that?
May 7th, 2010 at 6:31 am
Actually, Al’s last name is spelled Watrous.
May 7th, 2010 at 6:39 am
My sources tell me that the last player is Al Waltrous.
May 7th, 2010 at 7:28 am
I think the first is Lloyd Mangrum, the second is Julius Boros, the third may be Frank Stranahan. Is the last one Devincenzo?
May 7th, 2010 at 8:17 am
Very nice video, think I saw Lloyd Mangrahm and Tommy Bolt, not sure
