With the woods he seems to move his head too far back. His iron play is so good in part because he sets his head in impact fix and it never moves. With the driver, he widens the right foot and the head moves back a little far. I could be wrong but that is what I see. He has a great looking swing. I wonder if his driving would improve by a narrower stance, a little more right hip clearing and a slight straightening of the right leg, standard hip turn. He tries to stay flexed with the right knee which seems to push the weight to the heels on his drives. I still would take that swing in a minute.
As long as you take the putting and short game, it comes with a nifty little $17M US and $7M GBP (from 2001 - 2010) revenue stream. I'd take that, too!
Great show, look forward to the next one. Hall really emphasized hitting down, which makes a huge difference in the wedge game. As Homer says, if you wonder if you hit down enough, you probably did'nt. On fifty yard wedge shots, bury that club deep.

The Clubhead's Down-and-Out path through Impact produces 'On Line' divots. Just 'Down' produces chunky and probably left divots.
That said, Homer Kelley loved Lee Trevino's Wedge Strokes:
"He makes a gully".
Lee's 'gully' with the Wedge is the result of three factors:
1. The steepness of the Plane Angle;
2. His back-of-center Ball Location (more Up Plane, therefore mandating that the Clubhead move more Down Plane to Low Point);
3. The extreme Loft of the Clubface that drives the Clubhead more downward (and less backward than with the lower-Lofted Clubs) during the Impact collision with the Ball. This is the 'equal and opposite' reaction of Newton's Third Law.
