(2) leg drive. He said that most of his power comes from legs. Does
Stadler really do these things or just think that he does them?
Perhaps Craig Stadler stops and starts his backswing with his feet (at the top to start down), and extends the radius of his arc from the sweet spot through his left shoulder to both legs and feet. Then he uses the ground for leverage and sends a but-load of lag through the line of compression.

Using flying wedges like this must help that power a little bit.
