It seems to me that the next generation of golf stars all have very orthodox golf swings.

Surely, some methodology will claim they fit their model.

Has any yet?

It's a matter of time before McIlroy is claimed by the one-planers.

Ishikawa will be lucky if he avoids some American "expert" getting in his ear about getting "less across the line".

Molinari will more than likely be overlooked until he wins something in America. Then who knows...

Who's claiming advice to Danny Lee's swing?
Anyone?

Who's swings were these guys admiring on the PGA Tour when they began playing golf? Anybody?

Danny Lee either doesn't have a coach or it's his dad or someone from New Zealand (where he lives). Someone got some Harmon advice in his ear early last year I believe.

Whose swing did they admire? More than likely, Tiger. McIlroy looks nothing like him, but Ishikawa's swing eerily resembles a Young Tiger (1997 Masters or so).

That is exactly what I thought watching Accenture this week.

Some method teacher will grab him and convince Ishikawa that he needs to look more "methody" and quit using his dad (18 handicapper) as his "coach? "Hey, I have a notebook filled with photos of the great players and I can show you how they all did X." I can hear it now.

So the US had 3 or 4 of the final 16 in the Match Play this weekend.

McIlroy self-taught/dad as coach (and ain't no joke), and Ishikawa (ain't no joke at all, either), etc. Maybe the real international advantage is the lack of US method-teaching? (although i have to admit I am baffled by the ability of Paul Casey, who could be a No. 1 player in the world, to avoid being ruined by Mr. Swing Tracker)

Please Ryo and Rory, just keep playing golf and avoid the method guys!

Every one has a method, a way to do. Whatever works for them or you or anyone it doesn't matter as long as it works, that's the way. Now finding "it", that is a different matter.

I claim they have my method "The whatever works for you, especially under pressure method." The only draw back is i have a hard time teaching it to anyone else as it only works for me, my method that is.

Danny worked with Steve Jessup in NZ for quite a while and is a product of a strong amateur scene, but now he has changed to someone who works for Haney that he is swimming in a bigger pond. I didnt think he was doing anything wrong before.....

Same with Ryo, very dynamic.

The thing that is going to get Danny and Ryo, is the fact that neither are that long, compared to the rest of the tour. I hope that each of them can get longer.

I just don't see 275 being able to cut it on a regular basis.

Maybe they need to hit up on their drivers more, of course if it works for them when they need it under the pressure of tournament golf.

You already know this, but sure they have.:rolleyes:

McIlroy - claimed by the JH 1 planers
Quiros - claimed by the JH 1 planers
D. Johnson - claimed by the JH 1 planers
Ishikawa - claimed by the JH 1 planers

And of course, everything is backed up with 2D video and/or line drawing programs.:)

Which one?

We talkin about Edoardo or Francesco. Edoardo is 17th on the Euro money list. Francesco is 55th. Talented pair of brothers, no doubt. Won the World Cup for Italy last year. No wonder the Stallion likes em ;)

Did Fowler grow up taking lessons from Flick?
