Philly's Got a Good Point....

I dont agree.

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

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....


Not relevant.


Not relevant.

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

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


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.

Patrick,

S. Alito would have trouble supporting my argument, but I must confess that my conclusion came in the form of "connecting the dots", if you will. My computer looks at the situation at hand and spits out the best pattern with the most likely highest % of success based on having seen and performed this shot many, many times. Additionally, I have followed S.A. around Augusta's hilly terrain on more than one occassion, and I can tell you that his predominate pattern is hitting, whether he knows it or not. The components do not lie.

I think that's a fair statement, no?
Yes Sir...my only point (playing Devil's Advocate) is...perhaps, at times, he may be swinging.

EC,
I believe you mean J. (as in Judge) Alito. And I understand your point - and do not oppose it.


Gentlemen - please do not let my opposition stop this thread - there is much to be learned and gained from it.

As previously stated by one with much more intellegence than me: "It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it." -Joubert

Yoda's swing vs. hit
Take a look at some of the vid's of Yoda swinging vs. hiting. It's really hard to tell the difference UNLESS you know what to look for.

The only difference I see in Yoda's video's is when he's swinging his clubhead lags a bit during the startup. Other than that, I have a hard time telling the difference in his motion.

...it would be interesting to know whether he is Swinging or Hitting.....but the fact is that we may never know.

I think Homer said it's too tough to study playing professionals for this very reason...

...

How about we just settle on the fact that we don't know...

.....but we CAN learn from the mechanics (Geometry I mean) of his stroke....because they are sound (prolly moreso for a Hitter than a Swinger).
