Pics - Rear View

O'Grady
Thanks for posting the pics keep them coming.
jr.,

I'm glad you're interested in these pics...a lot could be discovered from this perspective!!!

PS if 6 B is out there ....I'll trade the Dent, Randolph, Nettles, and the Munson if I have too...
The rear view has always been my favourite to look at pivot components. Most golf magazines only have front and side pictures.... but my two favourite to look because they are not as common are overhead and rear....

I had anticipated some comments, especially on Hip Turn/Action.

DRW
The interesting thing here is that not only does the right rear pocket correctly get closer to the target, but it also gets higher than the left pocket - turn + tilt.
Well...

Here are some comments ....

Notice.... the hip slant is up in the directon of the straightened ledg and down in the direction of the flexed leg....obviously standard leg action has more hip slant than does the ever=popular right knee anchor....


Also Notice the Full Sweep Loading Action, Assembly, Storage, and the release


the Axis Tilt...the hip slide parallel to the delivery line..

Etc.... there is TOO much to comment on!!!!
annikan- on this swing, was the delivery cross-line w/ a snap release? was this stroke meant to produce a low cut? could you please comment further on axis tilt as it pertains to this sequence ... thanks.
This shot was a draw....so therefore his plane line was slighly right of the TL....thus the hip slide was more parallel to the right ...thus affecting the axis tilt to some degree...BUT we don't want to discuss degrees for that would mean a "quantifiable approach" ....
Notice in frame 4, the bent right wrist is not level, but at least partially cocked. In frame 5, the hands are over the ball and the shaft is horizontal. Just like Ben Doyle.
The angle of the right leg does not change... just like Mr. Hogan.

What type of Shoulder Turn is he using? Looks like either Rotated or On Plane.

Great Pictures!!!!

thank you for your comments ... do you have any rear pictures of a cut? and, could you please detail the differences in address (ball position, axis tilt, right leg inclination, etc) and swing alignments that are employed to produce the most basic (mid-high trajectory, mid-amount of curvature) left-to-right and right-to-left shot patterns. thanks.
Sorry...that is a tall order...I'll see what I can do....might not be able to produce...

Is there a weight shift to the right in the backstroke?

DRW
minimal weight shift....very minimal...possibly shiftless backstroke? slide downstroke?
"
What do you think?...


Is a weight shift an "imperative" for good golf?"

Is it Essential?
pm me if you want to know more about mac
Sorry

This is a draw hit from the right side of the fairway to a front left pin at the CVS Charity in Worcester, Mass... I know that for a FACT...he hit 3 different amounts of "curvature" from the same location best I remember !!!!


you're right ...he hits mostly fades...but this is not one...this is a Tom Watson Draw probably window 7...

BTW ...hope your instruction is going well Bantemben 1

just to clarify i believe you that it was a draw i was just throwing in there about what mac said
10-14-C says that Shiftless "tends toward a soft stroke." "It can produce an On Plane Downstroke Shoulder Turn only with the Rotated Shoulder Plane Angle."

Is this the case here? Mac seems to prove that Shiftless, can be used for POWER shots also.

Do you have frame 4 views of others for a comparison (Hogan, Tiger, Darren Clarke, Elkington, Els......)?

Pressure shift on the BS and weight shift or pressure shift on the DS, depending on whether there is a slide or not.

I like the left hip over the left heel at impact, but it's not imperative/essential, only an option. There are good players who play between the insides of their feet.

What is "Window 7"?

Must be a MORAD term....

I'm curious.

Yup....It's a certain height shot.....in this case a High shot that is not as high as can be...but still considered "High"
