Bertrand & Schlee

I attended one of Schlee's 'Maximum Golf' schools in Carlsbad in the mid-80's - met Tom Bertrand and got to speak to John Schlee quite a bit about his experiences with Mr. Hogan. During the school John always stressed the importance of "wiping the impact zone with a towel" (feeling of right palm facing down) as the key movement Mr. Hogan taught him with the right side. I guess the guys on this site refer to it as "swiviling the club") He did mention the move Bertrand emphasizes (level left turn focusing on the elbow area) but did not seem to think it was as important as the right sided move he mentioned several times to me. In any case, Schlee was "old school" and I always got the impression he wasn't completely "coming clean" with everything - both with his students and assistants like Bertrand. As a side note, Mike Malaska - now a top 100 teacher - also was at the school. The ball-striking exhibition that John put on (with rusty clubs!) was unreal.

Very interesting post, JJ. I am also of the opinion that Hogan's right side of the body (incl. elbow, forearm and hand) are not discussed too often. Whatever said, I doubt his famous comment of "the three right hands" was only to mislead the competition.
Right palm facing down move (i.e. converting "left wrist cock lag" into "right wrist hinge lag") is worth discussing even more.

Cheers

I have learned alot from Brian, but the action of the right palm is unquestionably the best nugget I have received from him. Anybody who doesn't at least try it might not be doing his/her best to improve.

BTW, maybe I'll think about that best books list so you can all rag on me:D

Doubled, care for saying a few words more of it ? I'm vividly interested to hear your feelings and comments on that matter.

1. Mike Hebron "Golf mind, golf body, golf swing" If i had one book to own this would be it. Its the closest thing to perfect until the Matrix book comes out.
2. Nick Faldo "Golf, The Winning Formula" IMO, the best 'how to' book by a Tour player ever.
3. Mike Hebron "Six Lessons" Damn near as good as the first with more pictures. Awesome McHatton edited TGM for dummies in the back.
4. Tiger Woods "How I Play Golf" The instruction is so so, but anybody could learn from the pictures. There's a ton of great ones.
5. Cochran and Stobbs "Search for the perfect Swing" Its a classic.
