Back in the day when the TGM website had a forum, I remember some of the forum members talking about Ben teaching 4 barrel swinging...I'm under the impression he taught 4 barrel swinging to all levels of golfers including little old ladies...really!!! I'm not joking about that...

I remember making similar statements but not about four barrel. Ben teaches the same stroke pattern to everyone- young or old, man or women. It is a deep pivot transportation of the hands to a snap release float loaded on the downswing. A very cool swing- hand controlled. Ben’s hands have a PhD so don’t think it’s a pivot controlled stroke- no way. Ben teaches this to everyone but, as he told me, settles for less from a student. He sets the bar high so the student can attempt to achieve perfection.

I still believe any four barrel stroke is more a Hit pattern than a Swing pattern. Less of a blur and whirl and more of a crash and smash with a early swivel. BUT….

I now think an exceptional athlete with a God-given gift of POWER, like a boxer who can knock you out in the clinches with a three inch jab or a hockey player that can toss you into the boards with a flick of his shoulders can four barrel swing. But only them.

I think if someone can turn on their power inside a quarter inch before impact, after CF has been release and is slowing down, acc#3 is finished- if that exceptional athlete can turn on that Boxer like punch inside that time frame- he can four barrel. I rare person.

Strength is not power, btw. The straighten of the right arm through impact is neither exclusive to Hitting or Right arm swinging. Ben always teaches that the right arm is always driving. Extensor Action it is.
