Besides my attempt at juvenile humor I am still curious about the distinction.
Throwing a drunk man off your back is not only a more palatable image, but also desirable, correct? Humping the goat is not only offensive to animal lovers everywhere, but the negative trait of coming out of your posture too soon and raising the handle, no?
A move that I modeled back in the day is Bernard Langer's downswing move (as best as I could percieve it anyway) as the "jump" that is spoken about. He was often way up on his right toe at impact. I worked with a pro that emphasized hitting the ball with the right foot slightly rolled inward but flat at impact. He called me "Jumping Jack Flash" until I could keep the right heel glued (think Kenny Perry.) I think that promotes an underplane shaft, not sure.
Anyway, humping the goat is a premature straightening of the spine....drunk man is the timely straightening of the spine once you have done the requisite "running"?
I would like to see a video short with Brian and a mannequin (substituting for the drunk man, of course)
I have been using a sweat shirt draped over my shoulder with the idea of throwing it off violently after the shift to the left.
Is the analogy original to you, Brian? If so...it is a great one, especially if you have had the occasion to carry someone in that manner!
