Angel Cabrera : TGM Analysis

[Seanmx]

It would be great if any of our many resident TGM residents could give a TGM analysis of Angel Cabrera's swing. There is a lot of compression and a lot of lag in there and it would be wonderful if we could learn a little from it.

Isn't amazing how the well known Argentine players like Roberto DiVicenzo, Edwardo Romero, Andres Romero and Angle Cabrera all have that easy on the high powerful flowing action. All of them also seem to be a bot dodgy with the short putts.

Would be interesting. Cabrera really drove well & stuck them on Sunday.

The fact that he has never had a proper lesson does not mean that his swing is not based on variations of TGM components.

Although the fact that he (by his own account Sunday) prefers use of cigarettes over sports psychologists probably never was a candidate entry in Chapter 14.

Very clearly a 'hands control' motion.

He looked sorta like a Hitter to me . . .

I thought that that a long flowing action like Angel's would be a Swinging Action?

Same here looks an out and out swinger to me. Can't quite understand where Bucket got that one from...

[nuke99]

I agree with bucket. he is a hitter. tempo alone does not differ a hitter and swinger. Can be an aggressive swinger.

There is no sign of centrifugal throwout.

Well there seems throwout to my eye, what do you base this on?

Also he comes in very deep with what looks like a snap release i can't see how he'd square the face without cf.

Punch elbow from drivers to irons. His arm doesn't Freewheel to a finish like swingers (sergio, his good buddy Eduardo ,) more "holding out" look.. due to hitter arm support on the primary assembly, especially in the irons. Arms wide apart at TOP of backswing and throughswing.
The difference of hitting and swinging is the active use of Accumulator 1 .

The way he uses his body on driver resembles of a swinger . and he have a long back swing for a hitter... so... 4 barrel cracker hittah.

Though I must admit, I only seen few swing from the recorded telecast.. so ^^.

And being bias.. Look at his distance.. ! lol


Hitter can snap release if he want.. but I am not sure he did...What do you base on?

[danny_shank]

nuke99 he may have same right forearm thrust to make him a four barrel. But to me he treats the club a lot more like a rope than an axe, he also seems to rotate his palms to the plane and has a snap release.
