Another great clip KOC.

How about foot action ?

I know it might be a 'seems as if' observation, but I see alot of the older great ball strikers use standard knee action with long swings. The left heel of Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan in that clip is pretty far off the ground at the top. The Golden Bear also has a very pronounced left heel.

But many modern players use a flat left heel even with the driver. Is this a present day preference for a tighter pivot and a more controlled swing ?
