If this isn't a hitting motion...then I just don't know hitting.....Yes...we are seeing angled hinging ...but as a result of "drive out of the paddlewheel motion of the right forearm flying wedge"...NOT Throw out of the Left Arm flying wedge via the blast off of the Pivot!!!!\

BTW both arms are Not straight...left arm is cracked....
ASS

Annikan...

No disrespect, you'r my boy. But in all seriousness - if you, or anyone - can tell hitting via a posed shot at the end of the sequence, well.......

I dont agree.

Look back at your Elkington photo's....at the end - via vertical hinging - his face is WIDE open. So...

Dr. O,

I'm horning in late again, but how could anybody look at this picture and not see textbook hitting?

EC,
For those that don't know - EC is one of my mentors. One, among two, who took my under his wing. And, in my opinion, is a knowledgable and brilliant as anyone....especially when it comes too TGM. As a devil's advocate, I am compelled to give my take....

Ball above feet,

Not relevant.

club choked down to compensate and

Not relevant.

angled hinged to hold the shot off the slope,

Swingers can do the same - see Tiger hitting a flop with vertical hinging.

bent left arm (if it was pulling, it would be more extended),

Hmmm.....do we know the original lie? Situation?

and of course the paddlewheel DRIVE out of the right forearm...it's a HIT!!!

I, and you, can get in the same position swinging, no????
Gentlemen,
I must disagree. I posted an entire motion - after what, 6 or 7 pages of reading that Appleby was a 'textbook' hitter. And here - I must disagree. I do not, and would not advocate, surmising that a player is a hitter or swinger based upon one photo.

Thats my stance and I am sticking by it. I realize I am the only one to stand up on this - and thats ok.....

Could I prove it in a court of law? No.

Thank God this isnt a court of law and its TGM.
