standard swing

[pecky987]

who would you say is the 'standard' pattern in the 'manzella matrix'? luke donald? gene littler? who has a standard swing?
i would like to put forward vaughan taylor

 

[jeffgladchun]

dead center of the matrix, between soft-draw and soft-fade.

 

[Kevin Shields]

1992-96 Nick Faldo. The most neutral swing ever.

 

[Brian Manzella]

The True Center

I can do it!

I have worked on this "True Center" pattern now for a couple of months.

Here are a couple of hints:

1. Slightly steeper shoulder turn than "Flat" shoulder turn.

2. Plane Angle Variation is NOT a zero shift, or a single shift.

3. Random release.

4. Slightly stronger grip than Manzella-Neutral.

I think I remember Vaughan Taylor as being an influence for Brian's "Soft Draw" pattern.

What makes it "True Center"? (BTW is this the name you've decided to give it?)

There is more than one way to hit a straight ball I know that much. (The Answer Man must have an explanation...)

I'm can't make up definitions in the matrix framework (cuz I'm not BM...surprise surprise), but to me, for a pattern to be classified as true center (right in the center of the 3 dimensional bowl), every component must be right in the middle. Not too much or little of anything.

Brian so does this mean the as you move away from the center pattern in either direction (NHA-CenterPattern-NSA) that the grip becomes more Neutral, and as you move closer to center the grip strenthens, or is this on a person by person basis?

#2 double shift ????????? Is this a variation of stack and tilt?
Brian please explain.
