It looks like he keeps Zone 1,2 and 3 identities separate. The Pivot supplies the primary Force. The Arms create speed from it and the Hands Direct it.

So, yes. Big-time use of the Pivot.

10-2-D Grip, Angled Hinge. I think that Paul Smith mentioned somewhere that Ramsey was trained by Greg McHatton. Maybe Paul will tell us more about his swing.

thanks Daryl, i don't have the book yet so i've made a note of your reference. that would be great to hear more about the swing, if Paul is willing ?

I met maxine compression today, she just gave me a peck on the cheek & then was gone but promised more if i'm faithful to her (she knows i can be a feckless tosser who will pick up with most any swing thought going). she is very beautiful, is it wrong to want to make babies with a golf swing ? i think not.

seriously i tried this out & loved it, big statement after half an hour but i think it might be the one for me. i like the way the swing is completely spent at the end & just coasts to a dead stop, presumably because all the energy is in the ball ? it's like, done well, the swing would say 'i can just about be bothered to crush this thing, but if i nod off doing it, will you wake me up please'

i hit a couple drivers (albeit in the net so i don't know for sure how good they were) that went TWAP (or similar noise that a compressed ball might make) & played around with some wedges & 8i for half an hour. Great stuff thanks for your help.
