You must have spent considerable time working on the reply. I certainly agree with what you said. You put things in prospective. I see a lot of drills that seem to be passed on from teacher to teacher that seem to address the current fad for what is hot at the time. I have currently seen three instructors using it. One particular student is using the drill to try and correct the flaw on hitting on the toe of the clubface. The student uses a shoulder takeaway, and more of a rotated shoulder turn. The guy hits the ball over 300 yards even with toe hits, but is a mess at the top. He regularly shoots in the 60s and has won three mini tour events, but wants to cure the toe shots. I personnaly think that the drill is hurting him, but he has a lot of faith in the instructor who teaches what is hot on tour? Thank again for your response. Donn That man you mention can play, no doubt about it. Hands to Pivot isnt the only way. I personally believe its the best way but without doubt there are guys on tour , lots of them in fact, who are PIvot to Hands. Like the knee drive of the 70's its not enough to preclude excellence but .....its not necessary or I believe advisable. Id say it has to be compensated for actually. Homer was largely misunderstood on the Hands to Pivot concept. I know, what else is new? P.S. JerryG doesnt misspelling have three s's? Not sur. Thanks bro.
