Snead uses a standard anchor thats why the spine tilts to the right. As leg straighten to the direction of the turn = tilt towards that direction .
Question 1;
A reverse pivot is keeping most of the weight in front feet during the back swing. But does it qualify as a reverse pivot? How does this "reverse pivot " by sam snead in anyway benificial or Not benificial to a swing since, the Pivot reacts to the path of the hands.
Another question:
I also notice that if the head is not right at the center of the feet but more of center of the shoulder ( not center), there is a tendency to bob down slightly during downswing. AlA Ben Hogan etc. You tend to bob down a touch. Is my observation correct? I think the reason Homer Kelly prefer center of the feet.
Matthew .. thanks for making the point and you have to stick the tapes on the back to show it . I salute you in the spirit of letting everybody learn golf. The Golfing Machine way.

They are not a sequence - but the two frames I took with my digital camera seperately on self timer. I could of easily walked into a different spot, I may of put the camera down at a slightly different angle, I may of swayed... who knows....
The intention is to only show the position of the spine relative to the hip action.

Try again
No doubt they are in a different spot based on the position of the hips and the middle board of the door.
There was a film done by TGC with Jim McLean and Sam Snead. The video has a lot of footage of Sam Snead's swing. In the film Mr. Snead indicated that he allowed his head to swivel a little, but otherwise he kept the head steady.
I think that from some of the posts from Mr. Skywalker... we can see that in order to keep a centered HEAD in a golf stroke, the various portions of the SPINE(Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar) are not staying straight like a ROD. Actually... if this is attempted, the HEAD WILL most likely MOVE during the stroke.

Agreed . . . According to 1-L the Stationary Post is at least in my estimation a imaginery line through the head and into the ground. The spine is the center of the shoulder turn and NOT the center of the stroke. The POST doesn't bob and sway meaning the TOP of the post (head) and bottom . . . point on the ground in the middle of the feet.

That swivel of the head is a move more people should use IMO. One of the reasons people tend to move their head in the first place is that it gets in the way of the shoulder turn.
Far easier to both keep a steady head, and to get a fuller turn, with the chin swiveled before the takeaway ala Snead and Nicklaus.

When the head swivels doesn't it throw off our ability to see the actual location of the center of the head? In other words, Scott's head is truly centered in the picture provided earlier in this thread, but it appears to be slightly off since he has swiveled his head? (posed to anyone)

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
