WHO Knew? I just tried it- way cool, a like the slideshow now, much better with captions.

There ya go- thats VJ's loud driver you hear over and over in the side background and appears at the end.

another great video. i haven't seen Jay swing it much before, it's a nice action. very rarely do you see a pro swing and feel sure he's hitting a big fade. steve lowery and bruce lietzke (sp?) come to mind. maybe Yoda would be kind enough to help out here, does Jay Williamson play a fade? perhaps just for those shots.

has anyone noticed the change in VJ's swing, if any? i moved to a new house recently and sadly can't get golf coverage so only go on what i see on the net. he looks to be a bit more upright at the top. he seems to like that position and be really pounding it. pouring on the power a bit earlier. i've always thought he was very deep and flat for a big guy. he works on headcovers/gloves etc under the right arm pit a lot i think.

I'm looking forward to seeing it. At the end of the day, all we can do with the incubator is incubate!

one more video
 

I lost control of some quality trying to get this out. I will re-work it for our gallery later.

i shot it vertical (duh) and needed to rotate it to make a QT file. It still works- the lesson here was not taught to Barclay clients as is but covered. This will take time to incubate. I hope this clears misconceptions of Hinge actions and why it is Rhythm.

Jay can work the ball either way from what I saw at the Barclay's. He hits a very straight ball that falls off gently. His warm up on Sunday was mostly draws.

Great work
 

6bmike....thanks for all the work posting these videos...they are all full of wonderful instruction...thanks too to Mr. Yoda....isn't he the best:)

A definite change to VJ's swing from last year. In 07 his hands were very deep early in the swing with the clubhead pointing outside the plane line on the takeaway. At the top he had a little re-routing action that is gone this year. His swing from start to finish is as on plane as he has ever been. Check out his ball striking stats from 07 to 08 and you will see his dramatic improvement. He has used the Smartstick since last September and continues to do so with the results showing in his stats.

Thanks, Mike. This video demonstrates one of the most confusing and misunderstood aspect of TGM -- the Hinge Actions. It was done totally 'off the cuff' at your request to amplify a point I had made in an earlier clinic.

BTW, the applause you hear in several places on the video has not been 'dubbed'. The 18th greeen at Ridgewood and play at The Barclays championship was only about 100 yards from where we were filming.

Thanks, Mike. I luv ya', man!

:salut:

But even those non- machineheads at the end, knew they witnessed something special with their applause.
