I don't think Brian has a model/pattern. Its about getting you to produce the best results, not about getting you to look like an ideal.

Based on history, I would say the following:

NSA - Constantino Rocca
NHA - David Toms
SD - Lots of old school players have some pieces, Byron Nelson is probably the best example, Couples on the down swing, Vijay (2008) on the backswing; an extreme example would be Jimmy Bruen.

Regarding David Toms and NHA, one thing I don't see in his swing is the high right arm/up the wall takeaway. For example: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=An9GbjeL8ng&feature=fvw[/media]
or even more of a low rt arm tuck then raise:

I know we are all changing small aspects (and sometimes large) of our swings all the time but after watching NHA 2.0 I expected to see a different takeaway from Toms.

I see it more in Nicklaus [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmTPvZLAdUI&feature=related[/media]

Not stirring it up but how much higher can Toms get his right arm? Looks awfully high to me.

EXACTLY, i used to watch a lot of golf and have never seen anyone's takeaway so outside and so up which is exactly what up the wall is.

Monty and Woody are more upright but both get a lot more in early.

I didn't explain myself well enough. It's not that his rt arm doesn't get high, obviously it does. I'm looking at his arms in relation to each other. BM says (and demonstrates, look at 28:38) the rt arm higher than the left in the takeaway and I don't see that in Toms. This is a part of the differentiating feeling of NHA to me which is why I went looking for it on video this morning. I haven't seen if I actually do this or not but it certainly feels like it particularly early on.

Yes the angle of the videos might be part of the reason. Or it could be my flawed expectations. Jack looks closer to what I envisioned a NHA takeaway to be.

The rest of Toms swing looks very NHA.

Does the "golf school" crowd flock to the teachers of the tour pros ... and the teacher who teaches the most successful tour pros gets the most paying students ..???

Sort of like the retail golf store sales strategies: "What wins on Sunday, sells on Monday..??!!!!"

Looks like Daly starts his pivot by pushing off but does most of it by standing up with his left leg?
