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.
Would someone kindly explain...(Questions for an interview w/Brian)

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? Hohohohoho....

If someone would like to do the "interview" (ask the questions) I'll do it ASAP via the web.
The interview questions are not easy to come up with, if needing to keep very general and not name names...
How about:
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).
2012 is not that bad, come along, guys

Going to have to get my Dad involved to decode your posts.
Say big hello to an old Pole and tell him that it is not THAT BAD he must come back. He'll understand. Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła

oh boy....
(1) in your opinion, what is ben hogan's most important contribution to the modern golf swing, (2) in your opinion, is sean foley a method teacher, and if so -what aspects of his swing methodology do you find most valuable, (3) what would you like your contribution to the golf swing to be?

Go ahead and post more good questions, and we'll find someone to ask the questions.
