Thank you Brian for the Snead/Ben Doyle squat and hip action reminder and the relation to going normal. It is really tough to do with reversed hips and may be the piece that I need too.

I'm a little confused. Isn't the position at the 17:20 mark the back to the target and backing into it move ala Nicklas?

Good video

You can definitely see the release concepts at work in Rory McIlroy, Luke Donald and Sergio Garcia, to name a few.

It seems ridiculous that some people choose to hold up Sadlowski as the ideal, while simultaneously ripping on the technique of Donald and McIlroy... when one of the long drive guys gets to world #1, or wins the US Open by 8 shots, maybe there will be an argument to be had.

That's not the still from "17:20" but a screenshot that Vimeo randomly selected and I didn't change.

Nicklaus did NOT get that far left "backing in" and was NOWHERE near where he was at the top.

The screen shot looks disgustingly similar to my swing 2 years ago. I am proud that I was actually able to hit the ball decently from that position. You can play from that position (or similar) as its not the dissimilar to another Hogan book that is out there that actually advocates it but its very hard to get the shoulders anywhere near a good position on the downswing. Closed shoulders like that is going to produce pivot stall, flipping, plane lines out to the first base dugout. Its also to easy to kick in more axis tilt than one would desire, below plane path as well. Screems hook or pull city.

question....the "tangental" portion....from a time period stand point....say a cat with higher hands...more "tangental" time vs. less for a low hands cat? Or vicey versy? like the video...solid.

I am a little confused to the part of the video that talks about the best way is to have the force tangental in a way that it is applied in the direction that you are moving the club, I assume with the hands from the grip end (not sure if I summized that correctly), but isn't the force always going to be tangental to the path the hands take whether one has an early or late release, whether one takes an inside or outside path with the hands?

Great work Brian. If those two videos don't make things crystal clear, I don't know what will.

I'm sure this thread is likely to spawn at least 10 other threads in the brianmanzella.com minor league forums.

Just make sure you don't choke the dog with the left knee collapsing towards the right knee. A few greats could get away with that (Jones, Nicklaus and Singh), but most Tour players today have the left knee going towards the ball which makes it easier to perform the squat and let him out without strangling him. :cool:

Assuming you speak about backswing phase I completely disagree with that statement. The best ballstrikers ALWAYS let the lead knee bend in and lead heel go off the ground (starting from the outside edge) because of quite a few important reasons.

Agreed Dariusz. You have to secure that dog before you let him out. Per Brian's sit down/Sam Snead squat video which BTW I think also gives a good illustration of the release.

I have a question. Does the sit down move then pull up or go normal have any affect on accuracy? Is it more of a power move for longer clubs and as you get to the short clubs where accuracy is paramount be avoided? Or should it be done throughout the bag?

I would have to say that the 2nd video will be ripped apart by your "haters" Brian.

Why? Because you can't see the forces, even when you put the arrows up. And the look of his hand path could not contradict tangential force more, as it kind of looks as if it moves in a handle dragin kinda way.
