The thing about Tiger's swing is that it is too strong. He rotates his hips so fast and swings so hard that he has trouble keeping his hands in sync with his body.
Els, on the other hand, may not be absolutely perfect when he's at his best, the way Tiger is. But, he's almost always in sync. His swing looks effortless and he has the best balance I've ever seen.
I saw them both at the US Open at Beth Page and at the PGA a few years back and Tiger's swing looks like a violent, but smooth attack. Els looks like he's trying to massage the ball onto the fairway and he hits it 300+ with what looks like minimal effort.
