[O.B.Left]

I noticed that on Bobby Clampett's actual drive his head swayed back even more. Not an unusual thing for a good player by any means but not necessary to my mind. I wondered if it was a compensation which moved his Left Shoulder back and gave him more time to Release. If thats what it is then you have to wonder if he could accomplish much the same thing without the Sway by just teeing the ball more forward in his stance. Dont get me wrong Id love to have Bobby's swing.

Those long drive guys have 4' long drivers or whatever and tend to Sway back too, I think to give them more time to Release their super long lever. You'll notice how Sadlowski's Sway increases during his Release, frames 5 to 6. There are ballistic, launch angle considerations too for sure, like he is creating an artificial up hill shot.

He's Canadian though and those guys are all kinda nutso, eh?

A Zone 1 compensation for a Snap Release related problem .......Bucket is going to be all over this one, I bet.

On the other hand, the head doesnt necessarily need to be positioned dead center between the feet does it? Isnt it dependent on the shot at hand? If you are in a fairway bunker or chipping or pitching or hitting out of the rough wouldnt you have your head more over your left side? Ive always noticed how Homer positioned his Head a little back of centre in this photo of him at Fix. From this position he wouldnt need to Sway back dynamically during the swing, its pre set, Fixed in a manner in accordance with the shot at hand.
