HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS SO FAR...PLEASE ADD ANY YOU'D LIKE ANSWERED
(Leftjab)
Would someone kindly explain a brief theoretical comparative, using common speak, between what hogan believed to be true about the golf swing, what foley appears to believe to be true about the golf swing, and most importantly -how these beliefs may differ or align with what my fellow italian and swing guru signore manzella’s research indicates to be true.

I was thinking of doing a scale Left to Right, listing instructors along the continuum, but really you'd need two dimensions...and arguably more.
Manz has no one preferred method so that makes him a bit unique. And...the recent research re "going normal" can be done in more than one way...ie in more than one orthodox swing methodology. Another question might be are the people you listed offering orthodox swing methods?
1. What have been the top 3-4 swing methodologies decade by decade since the 60's, and where does the BManz current swing views fit in, if any, if anywhere.
2. For earlier epochs, describe the range of swing methodologies (ie Jones, Vardon etc). Again, where would BManz view on his current swing methodologies fit in, if anywhere.
3. How can science driven swing knowledge help a golfer or instructor come up with a fitted swing? Is the goals just repeatability, reasonable accuracy, and decent impact numbers? What about non-ideal or awkward looking motions which seem to let the golfer play their best?
4. At the highest level, do you think in 10 year's times, all top40 pros will have the same basic impact numbers, or will some still hit down and up in varying amounts?
5. If science based swing instruction was brought into the mainstream is there going to be a rush of new players and therefore there would be need for more instructors, or with a more static set of golfers would fewer instructors be needed since they could more efficiently fix the students?
6. Among the club golfers, would conceivably there become a knowledge gap between untrained golfers with homebuilt "terrible" swings and those who know the scientifically oriented swing principles? Again, how would this dynamic work out, perhaps ultimately more people seeking instruction?

Mine is simple - why does current golf instruction SUCK ? (I know the answer but anyway) and how do you want to improve it ? (I hope I am not wrong about the answer).

With everything you have learned about instruction, if a first year assistant pro came up to you and said he wants to be a full time teacher and asked your advice on where to start his journey what would you advise him/her?

What are the top three things (most frequent) you teach a club golfer?
What are the top three you teach a tournament golfer?

Tapio says sometimes the "body" can be the root of the problems. What do you think about that?

1. Why the current typical TV analyst and golf coach obsession with "maintaining spine angle" and would working on that actually benefit any group of golfers?
2. Based on what you have learned in the past 4-5 years, what golfer or type of golfer would you most like to have a "do-over" on teaching.
3. Which set of teaching approaches of your's have been least changed by what you have learned in the Anti-Summit era?
4. Is it possible now to be a good teacher of single-digit handicap or better golfers now without having launch monitor information and the ability to interpret such information and would you pay to go to a lesson where that was missing?

How does someone become a Manzella Academy Instructor?
Whose game do you think you could help the MOST? A bomber who is wanting to become more accurate, or a dinker who is wanting to get longer. Assuming they are both young, say around 30, handicaps of 6 or less.
