Nice one AC. And congrats on Tri Krona's fine showing in the junior world hockey championships. I like Hedmen on defense , he'd look good in blue and white with Borje's number 21 on the back. Time for our next Viking God now that Mats has left.
Thruster implies to me that Brian actively extends his right arm through the ball. Me too by the way, after Yoda converted me to hitting last month.
In the swing sequence photos I took of Yoda in the "pivot center" thread he was hitting or perhaps I should say performing what is for him, his preferred form of hitting. It is a personal preference thing. Yoda showed a variety of procedures but most often seemed to start at adjusted, lagging takeaway, angled hinge, drag load start down, random sweep release that was kinda late when he wanted to flight it lower (almost snap) and then POW with the thrusting right arm. The photos dont show what the eyes saw and ears heard. There was a yardage post about 175 yards out which he hit at least three times that I saw.
I may have some of his components misidentified, my apologies but to the eye those photos could easily be mistaken for a swinging procedure. To the ears and eyes of a person standing there, there was some major effort being expended in delivery. POW with the straightening right arm.
Oh, and when we were talking about all this stuff. He recommended I check out the premium video of Brian Gay's. He never did say Brian was a hitter however. I didnt ask. Homer, however he said was a "hitting efficienato".Ill leave to you to interpret why hitting is listed before swinging in the book.
Although a wise man once told me that most hitters, given enough time, would return to swinging. Why? I asked. "Because its easier" said he. Although that same wise fellow seems to be doing a lot of hitting still.
Its all about personal preference based on your results. Find your own way, your own procedure. But start as recommended by Homer in Chapter 12 before you move on.
Yoda,can we entice your goodself to give us some more info into Brians swing as I for one am impressed by his short and sweet swing (HIT THRUST or WHATEVER)
To me,he seems to have shortish backswing(ala hitter) but the attributes of swinger. In one of your comments,you say Brian isnt the longest but he is very straight...Thats what Im a chasing..Thanks in advance

I have written extensively on my work with Brian,work that parallels his enormous success over the past three years. Those many posts (many with illustrative photos) are in my archives for your free study. As are several videos in The Gallery. Beyond these efforts, anyone sincerely interested in (1) The Golfing Machine; (2) my teaching of its principles and procedures; and (3) its applications by a proven Champion on the PGA TOUR, simply must click here http://lynnblakegolf.com/cmps_index.php?page=proshop and buy the 60-minute video, Brian Gay -- Golf Stroke Fundamentals. You will learn a ton, and at the same time, help us continue to help you.
We're a partnership here, guys. We've got plenty of free stuff -- more than 100 videos and thousands of authoritative posts with information you will not find anywhere else in golf -- so for those who want the 'edge', it's okay to show your support and give back a little. Many of your fellows (I read every name) already have, and for that, I am grateful and offer my sincere thanks.
I paid online for the Brian Gay video but the download appears very stop and start. Is there a way of downloading and saving it for an uninterrupted view?

Yes, Crawford, you can download it and save it to a file. That's the way I do it.
Would it also be possible to purchase this as a DVD, such as Alignment Golf, which is excellent?
No, Blade, although in my opinion, the presentation and information presented therein is worthy of a prominent place on any retail DVD shelf. Especially for students of The Golfing Machine. That said . . .
I have stated elsewhere that this video was never meant to be a professional DVD. We were not even miked, for goodness sake. But, I knew as it unfolded that it was golden: a seasoned tournament professional demonstrating the techniques he learned, mastered and now uses every day on the PGA TOUR. All while his teacher guides and describes the action and occasionally gets involved in the act. The really good news is that we can deliver it to you immediately and at half the cost of a DVD.
The video is fabulous, everything you said, only problem is I cant rewind or go to a specific segment. It seems that the only way to watch it is to start, play, pause and continue, not go backwards to review or jump forward.
If thats the way it is, I will just play around with that but do let me know if it the other features of rewind or jump forward is possible.
Again, I have not watched it all yet but its really helped to clear up mountains of terminology already.
