Every swing is a puzzle. Every shot is a puzzle. Golf instructors, like the ones here on Lynn's corner of cyber space, sometimes just point to the correct piece and sometimes create the piece from scratch. But they do it with passion, sincerity, and honesty for enhancement of an individual's game.
Does it get any better than this, folks? I think not.
From his heart, V.J. reveals the Instructor's side of Golf Instruction's two-way street. The other side is the Student's responsibility. And where the Student's desire (and willingness to learn) meets the Instructor's knowledge (and ability to teach) . . .
Please forgive me - for I am a 4 year old in a world of MIT students. Just wanted to throw out that, I entirely enjoy the discussion - whether I agree, or disagree, or am lost, I really enjoy the in depth conversations.....
I have also enjoyed the book very much and I hope it makes its way to a wider audience. I have a couple of questions, if you could be so kind to answer:
1) I think in Chapter 11 (I don't have the book with me) you talk of a "recent multiple winner on the PGA Tour" who does THE MOVE. Is there a reason you can't name him (or the "mystery" analyst who talks about the "fastest rotation on tour")? I'd be interested to know who it is, just to study more sequences and video of the move applied to another swing. My guess is Chad Campbell, but I am not too sure....
2) Like Powerdraw, I would like to hear some ideas about applying the principles of "the secret" to chipping and pitching. In my experimenting, I have found that for chipping, starting with the weight over the left leg seems to work well, and for pitching, doing the "move" without the bump. Any thoughts?
Once again thank you for an entertaining and informative book...to those of you who have not purchased it, I highly recommend it as a thoughtful piece of research and an original work of instruction. It is a privilege to be able to communicate directly with the author via this forum.
In the book, One Move to Better Golf, Pg 18, Carl Rohren mentioned
"I noticed that when he (Hogan) was about half-way through his
backswing - his hands between the belt and the armpit - his lower
body started moving left. It amazed me that his lower body moved
forward so early, but I could readily see that Hogan couldn't
"Hit from the top" with that kind of action. There was no way the
right side could be brought into play too early with that swing."
My reading for the rest of the book, was that Rohren couldn't make
the move work for him was because he did not believe in axis tilt.
He seemed to work toward a verticle axis at all times?
I think the move is sensational. One of the great things is about TGM is the variety of options available. While some sequences of options are more effective than other sequences, Homer wanted us to know about them all. If this pivot sequence is more effective for you, use it when it works.
