Thanks for everyone's posts for the hybrid Pop-up question..This post is for others who might have the same problem...
It's just my best guess that the pop-ups were primarily due to 1) Bobby C's book mentioning the swing bottom and aiming point are both 4" ahead of the ball and 2) lack of pulley in my swing...I took BC's word for 1) because he has/had a GSED and 2) I basically had just straight line belt all the way to the aiming point with little or no release (pulley).
Add in the uphill lies with heavy bottomed hybrids and I'd pop them up every so often..
PHP Code:
The original critique was concerning the benefit Ballard's suggestion that lateral movement is an "imperative." I was trying to communicate to Mashie72 my understanding of the difference between method teaching (limited view of what works best) and TGM (the principles that undergird ALL workable patterns)
Also, FWIW Okie, I'll be the first one to hand you $5 when you tell Jim Dent to his face that there is no benefit to latteral motion for him.
