Sounds like a nice pivot. Ballard doesn't believe in a pivot.
Yes, so does Watson- it is called a sweep release. Els, Hogan ans Sergio use a snap release. TGM explains all of this. Sweep relase is wonderful for a driver, less so for wedges- but you can. If you want I can show you pictures of Jack, Tiger and Watson using a snap release. Good golfers can perform move than one release.
I'm glad Ballard works for you. You say that TGM doesn't, since much of Ballard is explained in TGM book, what doesn't work for you? What is TGM swing in your opinion and who taught it to you?
Id just love to see Ballard swing the club just once- he doesn't on any of the tapes I have.
It's not so much a case of parts of TGM that don't work as the whole, as Ballard working much better. I read TGM many times, marked the sections that seemed to pretain to my swing, tried to execute, but saw no improvement.I'm not a beginner, having had a handicap between +1 and -2 most of my life.
The snap release led to hooks for me, as it does/did for Els, Hogan and Sergio.
By the way, Ballard says the best golf swing in the world belongs to Annika Sorenstam--another sweep release player, if I'm not mistaken. Her swing seems to adhere to all of Ballard's principles closely.
My son is a PGA head club pro and he guided me to Ballard. No one has ever taught me TGM swing--attempted self learning.
