1. as per Mandrin's post above - FO view shows that your hips do not slide forward at all while your upper body & head moves laterally to the target at transition (CoG shift); is it done purposedly, and, if yes, what advantages are of such an action comparing to e.g. Hoganesque hip slide CoG shift ?

My hips move forward from frame 5 to 6.

Hogan's moved much more.

Hogan was a better player than me, and was 60 lbs. lighter and practiced golf all day.

I'd copy his hips.

2. Your head moves up at the end of the downswing which appears as a compensation for a too bend initial posture (too big spine angle); are you doing it because of your body flexibility limitations and it is something that should not be copied and we should not pay any attention to it ?

It does not through the swivel.

Absolutely does NOT!

I ask those two questions since I always believed that those two things should be rather avoided in a golf swing...

What?

If I could get everyone I teach to hit is as well as I do, I be richer than Bill Gates.

Maybe I should take my camera out, put it behind a pin from a couple of different distances, and hit some shots.

Don't let the smooth taste fool ya.

If you mean that his head rises after frame 12 to where it is in 13, then YES.

As far as it being a compensation - NO - it's called a desire to not fall down - or more commonly referred to as "balance".

Thanks for the answers, Brian.

BTW, I never wanted to say that you hit bad shots or play bad golf - it would be ridiculous from my part. I just wanted to hear from you if those two things I observed are things that should be avoided IN CASE ONE'S BODY FLEXIBILITY ALLOWS TO or they are done purposedly e.g. for your SD Pattern.

All the best !

No, Michael. I meant Brian's head rise in the frames 5 & 6 at the end of the backswing.

Cheers

P.S. Oh, damn - I saw I made the mistake in my original post directed to Brian - I wrote "at the end of the downswing" instead "at the end of the backswing" :( I am very sorry for the confusion, Gents.

Leadbetter

BRIAN........there are times i will be on your side, but this time i can't. I hope you are not comparing yourself to leadbetter. IMHO you would be foolish to try......there is no way if she WIE worked with you she could miss 28 cuts in a row.........a 9 on a 4.........a 10 on a par 3.....no BRIAN......you are not a Leadbetter.....in fact...

LEAD WOULD BE (BETTER) IF HE GOT A WEBCAM AND LET YOU ANALYZE HIS SWING.
