So my German Canadian friend's "power schqvatt is real?" . He sometimes even yells "unt fire" at top and "himmelllllllll" when it actually works. Im not kidding here, no politically not correct jokes being made here, I play with this guy almost every other day. He is also the originator of "ass back golf" and "just watch the flag boys" which was famously accompanied by a big splash in the lake.
Und power schqvatt , unt fireeeeeeee....... HImeeeeeeellllllllllll l!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No question top-shelf quality there . . . that's the kinda man I'd axe out on a date.

Fovial field, huh? The old-timers knew best. Has anyone stood to the ball better than Hogan? Mechanical advantage should be the mantra...er after psychological needs! I have "defended" BG's posture to a "straight back" proponent. He made the point that the chin has to be off the chest in order for the shoulder to turn properly under it. Do you think that is a necessary compensation for a shoulder turn takeaway? Hogan looks way more comfy, nothing contrived.

I love Palmer's "right arm participation" Speaking of which did anyone see the Hunter Mahan swing sequence in Golf Digest? I was flipping through the latest addition in a store (waiting for the wife to buy something else we desperately need) and I happened to see it with a Byron Nelson comparison. I really like his pattern.

Who can see the ball easier . . . .
Bob fixin' to start . . . .
Now the head is BELOW the cat's shoulder in the back of Eldrick . . . Some power there though . . .
Check the straightness of the left knees and imagine a line up from the left ankle . . . one knee outside the ankle one knee in line. Who's startin' to squash bugs with the right toe?
One head going back . . .
Based on head position who has more control over their hinge action? Both had bad wheels but one from a wreck . . . .
Two great swings for sure . . . but I take Hogan.
