I think Price looks great in that series of photos. He's perfect at the top, perfect just before impact. He uses his body to swing the club. You may not like that style, but you can't argue with his ball striking and his record. BTW, the clubface isn't closed halfway back- it's parallel to his spine angle. And Leadbetter doesn't teach toe up, at least these days.
Mathew, do you really prefer Price's swing pre-Lead, with his locked right knee, too steep of a backswing, reverse pivot, lift the left foot too much, big-time slide, flip the hands and reverse-C finish? Sorry, there's nothing "natural" about that funky disco move. Even Price admits that his early swing was a contrived compilation of things that he'd picked up from books and by watching what was "fashionable" during his youth. There's so many moving parts and compensations there that I"m surprised he kept in the yard at all. Not to mention the strain on your lower back, neck and hip joints.
If Price had kept that swing, we would not even be talking about him today. Whatever you think of Lead, he made lots of good changes to Nick's swing, and the record proves it.
