I'm just curious as to what your thoughts would be if Jack or Fred or Ben came to you and started asking about the right elbow at the top of the swing? Would you tell them to reverse every natural instinct?

I just don't think your quotes from the book really apply to the situation at hand, not to forget that you took my quote out of context. 3JACK
The first quote is from Ben Hogan. The last is from Bob Hope.

They would tell me that I'm crazy if I thought that they spent 10,000's of hours and millions of balls to perfect something that came natural. They would say "what's natural about a swing in which 90% of the players can't break 100".

Do ya really want Natural? "Natural" is to swing the Clubhead and hit the back of the ball toward the Target. "Natural" is steering, bobbing, swaying etc.

Natural? Nothing Natural about a swing that takes a lifetime to achieve. Live it, eat it, drink it, sleep it. Nothing Natural about it.
