Let me say this to Grant....

HOOKING MECHANICS?

What?

I WENT TO Ben Doyle a hooker, I haven't hit two consecutive hooks in 18 years.

He has an interesting perspective on things. As I'm sure you know, he worked with Ben for about a year, ending in mid/late 2003. He says that the component variations Ben was giving him - maximum trigger delay, horizontal hinging, snap release, pitch elbow - all caused him to hit vicious hooks. And he said that the better of a player you were, the more those "sought-after" variations would hurt your game.

I can go deeper into this if you'd like, but I'm afraid of what it will degrade into.
