No, Colonel.

Ideally, the Swinger begins his Stroke with the #3 Pressure Point in the meaty part of the Right Forefinger and directly behind the Shaft. He does not actively change that Loading to against the first knuckle (and the top of the Shaft). Instead, as the Backstroke progresses from Top (of the Line Delivery Path -- Right Shoulder high and On Plane) to End (anywhere, even a fraction, beyond Top) that function is performed by the motion of the Club itself.

As the Club approaches the horizontal, its momentum pulls the Club more and more toward the Ground. This Action gradually loads the Sweetspot Plane of Rotation Pressure away from the back of the Shaft and toward its top. Meanwhile, the Right Forearm (and Elbow) that initially supported the back of the Shaft now supports its top.

That Loading Action does not exist for the Swinger who restricts his Backstroke to Top.

To me TOP is where it's at. Swinging or Hitting.

Thanks!

The Eye Of The Beholder
My post above cries out for video. A question answered with a precision unknown to the world of conventional golf instruction and supported with video.

Will you guys support a premium site? If so, what is reasonable? No kidding. This site needs you. For the best golf instruction pieces in the world...what is reasonable?

Support a premium site?? Sure, sign me up!!
How much to charge?? Hmmmmmmmmmmm-I know another TGM site charges about $40/yr.---and I signed up for that, if that gives you a clue. Not sure what the "break point" is for the average person who views this site on a regular basis. Perhaps you could develop your ideas for the premium site, post those, and then take a poll as to what people would be willing to pay. Yearly access fee vs 6 mo access vs 3 month access, prices for each, etc. Random thoughts after being up for 18 1/2 hrs.

Bottom line---if you build it, they will come. Dr Dave

worth?
Almost any price is reasonable when you consider what We have gotten so far for free. The Hogan home movie, the Tom Tomsello series, Snead and Toski, Ben Doyle and all the Blake/Fort clips from workshops. An impressive library of information.

But I have reservations about a premium service like Chuck’s because it creates a two-tier level of membership. You can feel like an outsider if you do not join.

Maybe the Brian Manzella a la carte pricing is the way to go. PayPal to unlock the codes and keep the video. On Chuck’s site, the video clips (unless changed) cannot be downloaded – only viewed while a member online. I never liked. I would pay an extra cost to be able to “keep’ the download.

I do not know the (devil in the ) details of either method- Manzella's or Evan's.

A buck a week? The price of a box of ProVs? The cost of a round of golf at your favorite course? 20 bucks a year? What is it worth? How much ‘product,' how often?

I would make sure that enough video material is in the ‘can’ before launching the service to prevent any lull in service.

food for thought

Yoda,
Imo, you've demonstrated that you have a geat product on this website. It takes a lot of time and energy to produce it and I certainly would pay for access. It seems like $50 a year or so makes it affordable and valuable to me... this would be as it exists now. New or more features might be worth a bit more.....
