I've been meaning to post this Golf Magaznine cover picture for some time but couldn't find a pastable picture until now.
People always forget that Crenshaw was a very long hitter when he came out of college. I'm sure the reason for this was the use of the squat and jump release. (Although I seem to recall this Golf Magazine article detailing Crenshaw's squat occurring during the backswing. There was also mention of a lot of lateral motion.) He later changed his swing and removed the squat, jump and lateral motion. In the process he removed much of his extra distance. It does seem to me that the squat and jump is a tough move to time for the average golfer. Anyway, thought this would be of interest.
