Questions and Answers.
Would there be an epidemic of slicers in the game if everyone was taught to keep their weight forward?
It was taught that way in the 70's, along with some bastardized version of a flat left wrist at the top, and people still sliced it.
The better players HOOKED it more.
Simple "twistaway: and a decent left hand grip would eliminate the slice from golf in 5 years, especially if taught with a decent pivot.
Is a PGA tour player who hits 28% of fairways with a driver really a great model to develop a swing producing the longest-straightest shots with the most predictable d-plane?
If you are referring to Tiger, he ain't my model, but in that regard, if he swung at 125mph, he'd hit more fairways. If he played one shot 95% of the time, he'd hit more, so let's not throw his technique under the bus.
I was using him as a version of what I feel is "orthodox."
This is more my center of the Manzella Matrix model. lean and pivot (print view) wise:
Would everyone be less against a pattern if maintaining extension in the Right wrist through impact was taught early in EVERY lesson?
You need to re-phrase that one. Could be taken too many ways.
Can a player succeed with different alignments, grips and postures?
No problem.
How many people will now become very upset with me?
I certainly am not upset with you defending what you think is correct.
It does remind me that I have to do a video takingabout what I do and don't think, like and don't like, technique-wise. I think if I tested my critcs on this, they'd do pretty poor.
That's my fault, and I will do better.
