Jodie Mudd Swing Sequence Question

[Brian Manzella]

Thanks for your input everybody. It's interesting to compare other tour swings with other instructional influences who tend to align the left arm much more with the feet or just a fraction inside at left arm parallel to the ground. In the downswing, however, everything looks much more alike in the same position. I suppose that begs the question, what is the most efficient and repeatable way of getting the left arm in that position in the downswing, by keeping it more in line with the feet in the backswing or letting it follow the hips more.

Brian, your input is always valued but at as you have implored others many times before, please stick to the thread, I was only asking about Jodie Mudd's left arm position, which in fact you didn't comment upon before starting to compare his swing with Snead's and then laying into Mac.

Mr. Hogan.

I go with the left arm follows the hips.

If you know my teaching you know that I HATE that straight-back-ish takeaway when the pivot has PIVOTed back a bunch in the early part of the backswing.

For those who cn't understand why I can be critical of Mac and then agree with him...I say this:

I call 'em like I see 'em. When someone is right, even if they are the little green man, or Mac or Jim Flick—they are right.

Same goes when they are wrong.
