    Cross-lateral slide mandatory for hitting?

    Since Tiger is a hitter, I would think his hip slide should be cross-lateral. However, looking at Redgoat's site, his slide is lateral. Does one hav to use a cross-lateral slide if using a right arm thrust/hitting motion?

    Brian a hitter or 4-barrelled swinger?

    In his tape, he teaches a 4 barrel swinging procedure, but calls himself a hitter, both on the tape and on the forum because he employs right arm thrust. His articles and posts preach straight line delivery path of hands , which is swinging. And his article with the 2 divergent forces, ala...

    Club outside of hands for hitting?

    Since in a hitting procedure, the forearms don't turn and pp3 faces and points at the aiming point at all times, this would seem to me that the club would stay outside of the hands at all times. The club would be offplane then, since the butt end isn't poinitng at the plane line. Don't know how...

    Commentators and proximity to ball

    Watching the Canadian Open playoff, after Weir hits the ball onto the fringe of the sand trap, a commentator reports from about 3-4 feet away from the ball. Is he allowed to stand that close to the ball, expecially if the ball is hanging onto the fringe of a sand trap? Looked odd. For a moment...

    Shoulder lift. How much??

    In Chuck Evans' E-Book, he states that the right arm only bends on the backstroke, and that there isn't any lifting by the shoulders. For the resident Ai's, is this correct? I get better result if I lift up from my shoulders along with the right arm bend. If I just bend my right arm, I can only...

    OT: Olympic decathlon javelin and PP3

    Ok, maybe I have a recent minor obsession with PP3 and lag, but while watching Brian Clay last night throw the javelin while he competed in the decathlon, I noticed his right wrist bent back, and his trigger finger underneath the javelin. COuldn't help but wonder if javelin throwers thrust the...

    Right Arm Pickup...literally a pickup?

    Hi: I am used to swinging my arms on the backswing, and this feeling is distinctly different than when I attempt the right forearm pickup. With the pickup, my left arm is very bent, the right arm is closer to my body than with the swinging backstroke motion, and and the feeling is that I...

    Bill Murray in Lost in Translation....sustains lag

    If anyone ever saw the movie Lost in Translation, there is a scene where Bill Murray hits a driver and keeps his right wrist bent all the way to finish, where his hands end up behind and wide of his left ear. Very pretty swing.I don't recall any pros who do that, not even Toms(unless the video...

    Determining turned shoulder plane.

    For a given shoulder turn, how do I determine , without benefit of an instructor, or a mirror at the driving range or golf course,where to place my hands to be on the turned shoulder plane? From the down the line view, the hands, right shoulder and ball should be in a straight line. For a...

    Straight left arm

    How much bend in the left arm is acceptable at the top of the backstroke? Because of lack of flexibility, and possible rotator problems, my left arm is very bent a the top, perhaps as much as 45 -60 degrees.

    Tiger and the cut shot with driver. Why?

    Commentators are constantly mentioning Tiger using a cut shot with the driver(not necessarily during this tourney). Don't think I have heard them mentioning anyone else using the cut shot off the tee. Why is he using it with a driver?

    Transition speed.

    Just how slow is the transition from backstroke to downstroke? Looks like the pros whip the club back and down very quickly. Today at the range, I was getting good results from my long irons by slowing down the transion, allowing my body to move first before firing my hands and arms in a hands...

    Cleveland Rocks!!

    Got a brand new set of Cleveland TA-7 irons , and I love em. Plenty of offset, so I can finally hit my long irons. Pretty neat being able to finally hit a 3 iron. Not much distance, but at least I have a swing/ball flight reference to work with. Previously with my old Ping Eye 2's, I simply...

    What does progressive offset mean?

    I want to get a new set of irons to replace my ping eye 2's and I am wondering what progressive offset means? In reviews of cavity backs, I keep reading that progressive offset makes it harder to "work the ball". I am assuming that little or no offset is the domain of forged blades with smaller...
