With all due respect to Mr. Manzella....which would be me....the Never SLICE Again Pattern and The Never Hook Again Pattern are only FIX IT PATTERNS in most cases.

Now, Jimmy can certainly do one one the more orthodox patterns.

But if anyone thinks he would have played better in the short term....or would be able to PERFORM one of the orthodox patterns now—BETTER—is high or just doesn't know any better.

Just my water-logged opinion, of course
