For now, maybe, but keep that yardstick handy. His family of 'little Trolios' are comin' on strong and he's feedin'em good. Won't be long now!

When VJ introduced himself to me[on the driving range at Old Waverley],he said "we're all dwarfs in my Family ,and we can all do this"and proceeded to juggle 3 golf balls. He then said "we should all be in the Circus"
A very funny ,honest ,devoted man.

V.J. Trolio is taller and heavier than was his recent subject, Ben Hogan. Plus, as a junior, he was a ranked Golden Gloves boxing champion.
With all due respect to dwarves, I think I'd tread easy here!

In fact, there's a way to give it some action. If you'll open all six windows of pictures on your desktop, you can open the sixth first, and go 6,5,4,3,2,1. Open each of them on top of each other. The first picture should be on top of the six. If you minimize each window, one at a time, you'll see the motion. The hips move forward as the club goes back.

Thanks for explaining. I knew that I should have known better than to doubt one who is endorsed by little green fellow.

Thanks, Burner, but Ted Fort, 2006 Georgia PGA Teacher of the Year, needs no endorsement from me.
In addition to being one helluva of a family man, great guy and true friend --  -- Ted has been honored by a Georgia PGA membership that includes more than 850 professionals working at over 260 golf courses, clubs, and ranges throughout the state. That said, for the students among us . . .
Nobody wants to learn golf more.
P.S. Except me!

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)

There is a short segment in the Shell WWoG video where BH gives a quick swing "tip"...he's standing erect & takes a small step toward the trarget as he rotates his hips which "pulls" his arms in front of his body...particularly the righ elbow...it's merely to convey what BH thought was the "feel" of the start of the hip turn sequence and rotation....don't lose any sleep over it as it's not what BH actually did in reality...
