I'm proud that Lynn allows discussion of other teachers methods. Clearly, there are MANY ways to play the game, and it's fun to study them all! There are many who follow Mr. Austin, I understand he was very long. Others are also trying to teach that "optimal" swing for distance, ultimately you have to play the whole game, not just create optimal numbers for a tee shot.



That being said, the pictures that scare me on that post are the ones where he is asking that we get our head over our right foot on the back stroke. That one really scares me Brownman. I have become a HUGE believer in the stationary pivot. Not left and more left, but rather the stationary pivot created by the MacDonald Exercises with a little Trolio mixed in.

There is a lot of discussion on other forums right now about what causes the full swing yips, and in my case, the driver yips were cured by getting back to a stationary pivot and the principles and foundation of The Golfing Machine. I would be afraid to get away from those Brownman.

If it is working for you, GREAT. You gotta ride that horse until she bucks you off. If she does, you know what foundation you need to get back to!

Cheers,

Please ignore Mr. Austin's chin and redraw the lines from the 'nape of the neck' (the 'Swivel Point' of the Stationary Head). [TGMers see 1-L#2.] Doing this, his Head -- and Golf Stroke -- will be found quite centered.
