Sam Snead 24 components, is this right?

[whip]

Whip, do you have photos of the particular swing you are looking at? Straight on and DTL?

unfortunately i don't. the swing about halfway through this video is probably the closest thing to the sequence in the book from 1952. this is face-on mid iron

Snead had a closed stance with pretty much all of his clubs in the bag.

in that book he plays closed with woods and long irons, square with mid irons, open stance with short irons

Sam was interlock? I didnt know that. That makes it Sam, Jack, Tiger and myself, well that I know of so far anyways. Who's the weak link in that foresome?

In regard to his left wrist throw, if you ever get a lesson on this particular Release Trigger from Yoda he'll tell you about Sam likening it to tossing apples off the end of a stick. You wont find that in golf Digest, I dont think. Priceless.

Sam used an overlap grip 10-1-A, but Sarazen used the interlock.

BTW, there is a nice interview with the Squire on Golfer's Nation. http://jimmclean.com/GolfersNation/T...0/Default.aspx

Click on classic conversations.

Thanks for the heads up Drew, Im really enjoying those interviews. I met the Squire many moons ago when my family was vacationing down on Marco Island. He was very friendly as I recall and wearing his golfing plus 2's and a pair of those old Etonics that weighed about 20 lbs each.

in the book sam snead how to play golf, he was definitely interlocking, another great book is sam snead Natural golf

Whip,

Turn to page 26 in "How to Play Golf" and page 31 of "Natural Golf (paperback edition)". In both cases, Snead demonstrates the overlap or Vardon grip.
