Yoda,

I love this book, and got it after John Redman had talked about the influence Armour had on his teachings.

Would you say Armour was a proponent of right arm take away or was he, like others of his time, more inclined to let the left arm guide the club back?

He also believed in turning the hips freely (Snead, Singh) as opposed to inhibiting the hip turn (Hogan, x-factor)This free hip turn is not taught as often these days.

He was most know for his "whack the hell out of the ball with your right hand" advise, but I think his concern with proper foot work (driving the right knee at the ball ala Hogan) and keeping a steady head is certainly timeless advise.

This is a classic, and even though Im a TGM newbie I would think there had to be some things Homer saw in Armour that made its way into the machine book.
