I've got my own theory about force plates. I think some of the data is misinterpreted. They suggest it's favorable to have a hook (a CG that gets closer to the ball in the downstroke). I'm not sold on that theory. I think they're reading the weight move from the right heel to the left ball, when the hips are still closed.

Luke would a severe move of the CG towards the ball normally result in a hook?

So the weight should go right heel, left ball, left heel as the hips clear?

The more I think about this the more I wonder whether the spine angle (from a down the line view only, not to preclude axis tilt) should remain constant? No boob , belt convergence.

Thanks

1. The reason that it often results in a hook is that the radius has to shorten when you get closer to the ball. If you're shortening the radius, you're not sustaining pressure on the pressure points. Without sustaining pressure, you get clubhead throwaway. Fore left!

2. Yes.

3. It should start more that way and remain more constant, instead of seeing big changes. I wouldn't change Tiger's Impact. I would change his Address to stop some of the Bobbing. But, understand that I'm not feeling sorry for Tiger, his wife, his yacht, his house, etc.

He really used to push his butt in when he was a junior. Almost stand up.

Would you have him stand a little taller at address?

Is a butt thats pushing in a sign of a butt that is addressed too far away to begin with?

Thanks for all the help.

PS Luke that note about the pressure points is so true. I can feel em dying when I push in. No structure. Brilliant.

Here is an interesting case study. Tiger Woods, the worlds best, the greatest champion ever perhaps tbd, with his driver swing out of wack. Nobody , not even Tiger is exempt from bad swing days. ( Note how he is leading the field here, however.)

If you look at his feet post impact he is up on both sets of toes and then standing up through the shot.

His is not a common butt push , left and right scenario. More of an up and down compression as his head and seat move to the ground and back up, maybe. His head bobbing back up to reestablish his radius. A fair bit of movement, eh?

Luke , Drewit et al, what do you make of this? What out of all of this would you change if he called you guys up for a lesson? Or perhaps you are working with him and dont wish to comment.

Still working on my left /right encroachment issues, trying to figure out the dynamics of balance.

Thanks

For the first six months...
Get him to understand and establish a Right Forearm Flying Wedge, by changing his right hand grip. Have him start on an Elbow Plane rather than a Hands Plane.

If that doesn't work, whatever the guy in the second video said. Did Peter Allis get a new accent?

That is very interesting. Yoda pm'd me last week with the glossary's definition of Pivot.

"Pivot: Golf-
A multiple universal-joint assembly between the Stationary Head and the Stationary Feet holding the Clubshaft "On Plane" by positioning and adjusting the Lever Assembly, through the #3 accumulator, as directed by the Right Forearm."


These guys are good! Where else would you get info like Luke, Drew and Yoda are laying out here folks?

Did he mention anything about announcers with German accents? Just curious.
