Man thats good stuff O.B. ! I hate to sound like a broken record, but I see a lot of the Trolio pivot in that swing!

Watch the left knee start the downswing. Of all the things I think he got from Hogan, that is it. Not quite the same dynamics as Schlee, but the same result coming down.

WOW EdZ. I was so focused on watching the hips, that I missed that completely. Great observation!
Thanks,
Kevin

He put out a great book and video that these pictures come from. His number one key was a flat left wrist. He also prescribed the pivot as the key to this condition. Sounds familiar huh? His video and book are quite good. Died way too young, chain smoker. He also was renowned as a free spirit on tour. Hogan once chewed him out for having his hair too long. Probably touched his ear. Great swing for somebody from Winnipeg that played five months of golf a year as a kid.

Interesting Drew, I don't want to start another war but Lag Erickson has George as one of his illustrations of being a hitter.

The knee action has to be intentional in his case. If you watch the slow motion sequence, he is well up on the left foot at the end of the backswing, and has fully set the left knee/foot before much of anything else happens coming down.
Try the move - it results in what Schlee called the "World Class Move" - the flattening of the shaft, a bit like what you can see in Ricky Fowler's motion, and Sergio's as well. It also sets the right elbow in the perfect swinger's position, pitch, ready to be pulled on through.

At least in my attempts at this motion, there is a very big difference between a focus on knee action vs. hip action in terms of the amount of lag pressure generated and how well the entire power package is pulled. With a focus on hip action, far more can get off track (round house). The focus on knee action makes the right shoulder move downplane nearly automatically, thanks to the right elbow being pulled into pitch.

Knudson played and taught Balance, Centrifugal Force, Inertia, connecting a Starting position to a Finish Position as well as "giving up control, to get control". I don't ever recall Knudson ever saying that other than the Hands, Arms and Club are moved by the Body (weight transfer and rotation). While we are all entitled to our opinions, that is not Hitting.
