Sam Snead at 65 years old. This is a legitimate senior swing.

LPGA Tour Major winner’s testimonial to Manuel de la Torre’s concepts.
sdandrea1 Supple (souplesse)
In those above swings of Manuel and Sam Snead I'd say with that lifted left heel they can turn more in their 60's and display souplesse.. For edification Bill Owens came up the term souplesse, La Danse Du Golf. He is a UK golfer he moved to France and gave Triangulaid teaching. He came up with these terms. There is a direct correlation to Jones/DeLaTorre to Bill Owens.
You can watch and see these movements are much the same. Turn on English subtitles.
rsvman2 That's poetry in motion. And he was probably still breaking 70, at least once in a while.
At 61 he won the Senior World championship in 1973 at 20 under so I'm pretty sure he was still scoring in the 60's at 65. He also teamed with Don January to win the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf 1983 at 71, I bet he was still in the 60's then.
Morgan Pressel is a major LPGA winner also, but her swing is remarkably flawed.
Not sure of your point. Every swing has flaws. It’s just some are able to negate those flaws better than others.

How do you define flawed? There is no standard or codified correct swing.

Sam was my first golfing hero! I got hooked on golf watching him win one match after another on an old TV show
called All Star Golf!
