Found this quote on Lynn's site:
"Jim McLean: With a huge talent like Seve, conscious thought can
short-circuit the intuitive gift. He got with Mac O'Grady, and they
had that ritual of burying Seve's old swing in the desert. I thought it
was a sad day for golf. I wrote a long letter to Seve...
How important is this?

Seems some pros keep it down longer for irons shots...
But then you look at Kenny Perry.....it's down till past Follow-Through....
"If lag presssure is lost the hands tend to start the hosel (instead of the sweetspot) toward impact - that mysterious 'shank'. When in doubt 'turn' the clubface so both the clubshaft and the sweet spot will be on the same plane at the start down. Both planes pass through the lag pressure point"...

How much of teaching is experimenting with different things with the student?
How many times do you have to do things different ways....or different things period....before you find something that seems to fit?
How do you determine if a player should be using the pattern they're...
Found some good pics...

Is there something I don't know about these clubs?
Some guys still play em on tour.....and I always hear random things about these clubs....
It seems no other set has endured as well.
Don't know a lot about this but it seems to me there's more to it than swinging on one of those boards and looking at the mark on the sole...
I mean....wouldn't you adjust your swing to compensate for that?
I got fitted to 4* upright a few years ago doing this....(yuck!)...
To me....I've always felt like lifting the club up plane seemed "like too much work"....too "forced"....
For my type of swing anyway....for me....
But what do yall think of this general concept?
i.e. physics vs. geometry....
i.e. any difference in power and how much difference....any...
I'm talkin about in the downswing....
Even tho I hit the longest drive of my life using my hands....something seems different....
I don't feel like I can get the same axis tilt.....or maybe even as much power....
Any truth to this feel, or any reason for this? (i.e. something I can work on)
...and how to prevent with good technique (or otherwise)...
(I know exercize and stretching will be a common answer....I'm looking more for technique....)
...
i.e. shoulder......hip.....knee (i.e. Tiger).....ankle (ME....lol...left ankle...)....elbow (right one prolly).....
OR OTHERS...
...the first "X-Factor"...lol...
....found this somewhere else:
"The combination of the elastic properties of the SEC and the muscle spindle stretch reflex facilitate a more powerful contraction than is possible without a quick "pre-stretch." Here's a very simple demonstration: squat down nice...
Best way to learn...? I dunno.
To feel it.....I like really loose waggles over the ball....(really loose shoulders and forearms)....like the waggles Brian does in "Confessions/Flipper." (I think)
....or hitting balls with the feet together.
