Somehow I missed all of these great posts.

What if it isnt just a Sameness deal? Im thinking Swingers benefit from the on plane right forearm too. Luke posted something on this today. If it was just dead weight Swingers could just use one arm, their left.

Bucket, I like your lever extension stuff but does it have to dispense with the Machine Concepts? Is there an advantage to the Bob?

Bulldog, I like your notes about the implications to the Pivot Center for those who dont preview impact in Fix.

Daryl, I'd suggest there is a reason Eldrick bobs and it has to do with how far he has to drop his right shoulder to get his Right Forearm on plane with a bent right elbow at Impact. Axis tilt alone isnt going to do it given where he starts. Im seeing on plane right forearms in baseball, tennis, hockey, its just a structural fact or law. I bet none of those guys know anything about it, but they do it.

Kev, ask her if you know her well enough.

Of course Swingers benefit from an On-plane right forearm. It's a must unless you play 4 hours a day and practice the rest of them.

Swingers need both arms too. Accumulators. Left Hand, Right Hand, Left Arm, Right Arm. Pressure Points, Power Package, etc.

I don't question that Tiger lowers his head. He drops his entire body. But he isn't human. When a bad round means that you finished in the Top 10 in the World, I back off wondering what he does wrong and try to focus on what he does right.

Hey, are you following me around?

I don't think that he listens to his new teacher. The guy coudn't fix Charles Barkley. How hard could it be? I had it figured out in five minutes. No Wedges, No on-plane forearm, etc. No Pivot, etc, and after how many weeks he still sucks. The Blind leading the Blind.

Did you see those drills with a thousand balls lined up on tees. How STUPID is that. I don't have any other word for it. Sorry.

Ya know whats even more scary? Tiger can't help him either. What does that tell ya.

Add no steady center to his radius too.

If only he'd walked and whacked those lined up balls Wild Bill Melhourne style. You cant bob too much when doing that drill. I love the dang thing.

You're right O.B. That would communicate the idea to him and it would force him to make some corrections. But not a thousand of them. Just enough to teach him the motion and feel.

Agreed. Hank worked him too hard. Maybe tried to break him of his bad habits by exhausting him. Poor guy, its more than a golf problem maybe.
