Sadly, I would've probably been one of the suckers that tried this out a few months ago. I used to love going through golf magazines and trying out different tips and such. It's frightening to me now to see how much bad info is really out there. Thanks for taking the blind fold off yoda and LBG gang.
Golf mags are good for finding out golf news and equipment reviews...that's about it!

I would never have believed I would see a major champion demonstrate these 'Hacker' alignments as fundamentally correct. Even if posed -- especially if posed -- they are an abomination. The gap between 'Feel' and 'Real' has never been more wide. Nor the gap between competent and huckster instruction.
For the record, I don't blame Trevor. The mea culpa lies elsewhere.
With his instructor(s), whoever he (or she or they) may be . . .
And with the editors of Golf Magazine.
He himself lives on Lag Pressure and its Stressed Clubshaft -- the exact opposite of what he is demonstrating -- and has allowed others to interpret the result.
I will explain the true relationships in my next post.
Thanks Trevor for increasing our lesson business by needing to take folks back to square one!

I would think the problem would be students pointing out this out to teachers like yourself and then explaining the flaws in Trevor's article and the student trusting what you're saying because Immelman is a Master's champ and gets a lot of rave reviews about his swing.
People often ask why is golf so hard. This is unfortunately a big reason for it.
