"All you have is your hand path, the force along that path, and torque about that path.
That's your means for creating the proper D-Plane with the proper speed, for the desired shot."
I was puzzled when I first saw this. Then I thought of ...
"Occams Razor:
It is a principle urging one to select among competing hypotheses that which makes the fewest assumptions and thereby offers the simplest explanation of the effect."
With this signature BM seems to draw on earlier teaching. From the Wikipedia entry on Ernest Jones:
"… [he recognized] the fundamental fact that the key to a successful golf shot was not the correct movement of certain body parts, but the correct movement of the club."
But there is one important difference, I think. BM's method is Ernest Jones + Science. It is one thing to say "swing the clubhead" but the question of which way it should be swung is not answered. On which path, on what angle, where should the face be facing, when should force be applied, what kind of force?
How different this is from most teaching today - put your arms here, strengthen your grip, take this stance, stack and tilt, make this micro-move, and, most deadly, adopt my method and do not deviate.
Is this new approach revolutionary? I don't think so. Thinking back on the many posts and videos from BM, MJ crew I can see the process of getting to this point was evolutionary. Refining, adding new information, refining again. It probably wont stop and this is why I keep coming back to this site. Growth, always.
p.s.
Interesting that this "new" way is completely in the spirit of Ernest Jones. Remember that he lost a leg in WWI, 1915. In his first round, 1916, he shot 83.
How would you rate this "look"?
