Pivot has some big implications in this discussion too . . . keep in mind the right forearm has to be DRIVEN . . . so with hitting this is pretty much self-explanatory . . . how does it get driven? . . . it does it itself! But in swinging . . . the pivot does the driving . . . if the pivot stalls or does something whacky to pull the hands of the intended plane . . then the right forearm alignments have a good chance of being compromised . . . inturn potentially compromising hinge motion and plane angle.
Take a look at Phil's face vs. Furyk's face . . . HUGE differences.
I agree my deep fried and battered friend! I have grown to love Furyk's swing. Clubface control is the last bastion for ball striking nirvana. The greats tend not have "flashy-faces." His pivot is sick in the way it keeps moving...very athletic in my opionion. That is what I used to love about Duval's swing was that the pivot never seemed to stall. Mickelson will always hit it sideways at times because he is "flashy-faced." As soon as the pivot slows the right arm straightens, true? I like Hunter Mahan's pivot in that sense...it appears to be one unbroken movement to finish.
This being my 8ooth post I think it is a good time to hang it up. Thanks for the information and the laughs. Cheerio!
