Whilst I am not quite as "by the book" as Daryl it does appear that John has picked many components which are more compatible with swinging. It seems that he has found a variation which is rarely discussed in TGM and to some extent contrary to convention...quite a rare beast... In my profession (medicine) when patients come thinking that they have the most rare and bizarre disease...one usually finds that they have an unusual presentation of a more common disease rather than their preferred interpretation (ie. a typical variation of an extremely rare disease)! I therefore naturally wonder whether John has an unusual right arm sensation whilst doing a typical "swing".....rather than an rare and unconventional version of "hit". Does he state that he loads the shaft at "end" using drag loading and the uses active triceps thrust (his hitting/drive load) from a pitch position to add or sustain shaft bend through impact?? What hinge action does his motion naturally produce? horizontal or angled? His feeling of triceps thrust from pitch - how does that differ from the extensor action that one can feel when you "swing" - could he just be using LOADS of extensor action - hence feeling like active thrust? If he uses massive pivot thrust..wounldn't he have to use an equally large amount of extensor action to maintain structure....so much extensor action that it could be misinterpreted as a hit?? Just asking questions - not being a hater. golfbulldog View Public Profile Send a private message to golfbulldog Find all posts by golfbulldog
