Did he really say that someone was hitting the ball too low because the club passed his hands before impact? Did he also say that the ball gets compressed against the ground by the clubface?

At least Tiger is going to get the RIGHT information with regards to ball flight laws.

I heard, ball gets compressed against the ground by the clubface causing friction. That is not a quote, just what I heard.
I sure hope that I'm not alone thinking that that is not at all what happens. Sure doesn't look that way to me on "Konica Minolta Bizhub SwingVision."

How does he understand the ball takes off primarily in the direction of the clubface angle but then misses it when it comes to loft? It's the same physics that effect left to right as effect up and down.

I caught that too, I'm hoping he was trying to dumb it down for the audience. Although, I think the audience was there to learn, not to better their own games.

It's ironic that he drew a distinction between old and new generation golf instruction and characterized the old as kind of making stuff up to fill in the gaps.

You can do that in history, not in science.

The videos of Sean Foley at PGCC are now off youtube, did anyone by any chance save them to their computer and could e-mail them to me?

Interesting. "Account closed" Does this mean that Sean is now officially "big time"? I wonder how long we'll still be free to read about the noise that air makes as it comes rushing out of the seams of the ball at impact.

It's only your perception that the videos are gone. There is no reality.

As Jay Z's song goes... "I've got 99 problems, but compressing the ball against the ground aint one!"
