@ Daryl,

Great stuff, man. I learn a lot from reading your posts, even the old ones on the board. Thanks.

I'm wondering if there's a technique to adding more power when using a hitter's pattern, or is it just about building up the muscles for the thrust? Should the pivot be more forceful? I'm thinking a bigger turn won't help that much.

It seems like swingers get effortless power from centrifugal force ... from the rotation. If I understand it correctly, hitters start driving down slowly and accelerate with the thrust. It's such a short motion to generate power.

I've seen Lawrence Taylor on Trumps World of Golf, and it looks like he has almost no backswing, but he pounds the golfball real far. He is a big dude, though.

Also, if you're trying to get more power, is it a good idea to try to speed up the getting your pressure point #1 from point A to point B as fast as you can?

Thanks.

@ 12 piece bucket,

Cool links, man. I haven't seen that one of Sam Snead. That guy's real smooth.

On the grid thing, maybe another time (I'm feeling a bit lazy, hehehe). The Snead one looks a bit more difficult, as the film keeps zooming in and out.

I'm guessing Hogan and Snead were definitely swingers.
