Like i said ... it is a great swing... no doubt that he knows what to do... only question is ... is it a real feel that he has ....that hand movement is controlling the pivot or... the hand movement has been learnt just like the pivot and the two programs are fired simultaneously rather than sequentially.

He has great path of hands to the ball from top... this has low MOI therefore able to get fast hip speed... whether the movement of the hands or lag sensation ( passive) is providing feedback to his brain.... the cerebellum knows exactly where his hands are in space...his mind is in his hands... no downswing blackout! Great swing.

Why is golf more difficult than throwing a ball?

Why is golf more difficult than throwing a ball?

MUCH more precision.

And less intuitive.

MUCH more precision.

And less intuitive.

Add to that the fact that most of us take up the game as adults, and so we over-analyze it, as opposed to allowing intuition to take over.

That is it right there. If we all learned this game as kids instead of adults we wouldn't be on a golf discussion board talking about it, we would just play.

A lot of us would probably be like any really good player and wonder why in the hell people talk so much about this. Of course, most good players learned the game and got decent instruction as like a 10 year old or something, which affords those guys the ability to not touch a club for 3 years and go out and shoot 75.

We took it up as adults, and as adults, we have lost all ability to learn by imitation, so the process is much slower and requires much more dedication.

I wish there was some way to turn back on the imitative learning capability.
