With all the wonderful info that golfers have access to............. the one that is so being so overlooked is the swinging motion and the "mystifying action" that comes along with a swinging motion. A golf student could hop on the net and read and see all they want about - right forearm tracing, fanning, plane line tracing, takeaway, magic of the right forearm, visual equivelants, alternate target lines, etc... etc.. and by all means they are all great and I use them each and everyday on the lesson tee and there is a time and place for students who need this info to improve....
What it boils down to though
hitting = driving the club towards the ball - releasing the accumulators (the power package, your triangle" with accumulators themselves -- this is where the above stuff is very useful
Swinging == basically in your mind --- flat out - whiffing the ball --- releasing the accumulators with the pivot -- this is what homer called the mystifying action -- how using your pivot to release the accumulators sends that clubhead into the ball - into the turf but in the swingers mind - it was a "gift"
True free wheeling!! Larry Mize, Ben Crenshaw, Al Geiberger, PATTY SHEEHAN (how great of a swinger was she? how about the best ever) Sitting there watching the US Open -- thinking kids out there today do not have swings like that to watch anymore..... they only see 365 yd drives and a putting contest -- and thats what is --- a putting contest
Arron Baddeley drops them all on sat and then misses them all on sunday, i play a few tournaments here and there when I can -- its difficult to prepare for tournament greens --- not putting well this year --- putted well last year -- this years tournament stroke average is 3.5 shots higher
Forum members - learn to free wheel that clubhead (make the club work like a club) and putt the eyes out of it and you will shoot what you want to
Brian we need more putting videos, techniques, stroke patterns - analysis
and the web needs a manzella analysis of Patty Sheehan (flat out the best ever)
