So, you saying more body rotation can make the shaft fall more horizontal thus producing more of an inside out path?

I see this a least once a week.
The first swing with more unwind and the path goes right.

I've seen this in my own swing. Why does this happen? It seems counterintuitive....

The path goes more right, but doesn't the shaft typically get stood up (backed up) and face opens as well.
Yup.
I think a lot of good players twist it shut in this scenario.

Only after he nearly shanks it 3 times in a row. This is not what Foley was saying, or mis-quoted a saying. All he was saying is that the path was more to the right than the face angle, and that is why the ball had draw--and not that he smothered the toe irrespective of path. To the extent that he even meant "body rotation", it had to have been that reduced body rotation made the path go more right.
Anything else would have been complete nonsense.
Very enlightening! So was Foley misquoted or wasn't he?

Don't think too many over here remember him either, Eric.
Disagree.
Agree.
Ain't that the truth bro!
Why?
Came across this re: Pat Perez. What is he saying or is he saying something he doesn't understand?
Pat Perez swing changes?
Anyone have any opinion on his swing? I believe in the past he's been considered to have a roller type release, but i was just wondering if this was still the case, i found this interview from Wachovia last year and it sounded like he was working to change that to a more pivot driven/body release. This quote was from him about some swing changes he was working on, "I'd call them major, but it came to me pretty easy. I've always been pretty good at taking something and just going with it and working as hard as I can on it. The whole body release thing for me is different, and the guy I had in mind when I was doing this whole thing was David Duval. He almost didn't even look at the ball when he was hitting it, so for a lot of the time, I thought Duval, Duval, release as hard as I can because I would always get to impact and my body would be stopped and then my arms would fly, and then the only thing that would make my body move is the fact that my arms were moving at that speed. I'm trying to get my body to release and go first and just let the club follow like all the good players do, the guys that win." ASAP Sports Transcripts - Golf - 2011 - WELLS FARGO CHAMPIONSHIP -

It's a tough job but that was definitely pretty bad

Next time I see Sean I'll ask him about the body quote or mis-quote.
The Kostis bs stands as spoken.

Makes you wonder if he saw the video prior to doing the analysis.
