So Justin is right about clubhead speed . The Proof
Each of our three rookies represents a different part of Woods' "bigger, stronger, faster" philosophy. Watson, who is 27 and grew up in Bagdad, Fla., is the "bigger" player. He stands 6-feet-3 and creates an enormous backswing arc, swinging the club well past parallel at the top. "I just swing it real hard and use all my arms," says Watson, who hit a drive 422 yards in a Nationwide event in 2004. "I swing it long, like John Daly. All that put together is going to make a powerful swing."
Holmes, 25, is the "faster" player. He has one of the shortest backswings on tour but creates tremendous clubhead speed through impact. At only 5-11, he's a powerful natural athlete who learned to swing hard as a third-grader playing on the high school golf team in Campbellsville, Ky. "I've always had really quick hands in other sports--baseball, basketball, whatever," says Holmes. "I have big forearms and big legs and really fast hips. I've always had good balance and body control in other sports."
quoted 2 paragraph from golf digest bomb and gouge... quick hand, hard with my arms..
I never doubted Justin.. ( Comdpa ).

Having something backed up by Golf Digest hardly makes it correct.

Toolish,
I second and third your opinion. NASA would be a more reliable source of verification.

Well . They quoted the 2 players .. would be really funny to make it up. They did not back it up or anything.. they QUOTED.
Oh .. maybe they want to mislead the whole golf world again.. consipiracy theory so that they will sell more magazines.

Natural Selection
At the forefront let's eliminate the conspiracy theory! The truth is that some bodies are better suited for different movements that are relevant to different sports and so there we deveolp our superstars! Not everyone is built the same and some physical beings recognize their natural abilities and refine their science to capitalize on their gifts. So, some people become runners, others tennis players, others baseball players, others golfers . . . and there you have it. Some people are going to be better golfers because of their natural ability and alignment advantages , or their joints are just more accommodating, or because they study the science. But the bottom line is that the best golfers continually re-establish a true central alignment and then re-align the golf protocol to that neutral platform. That's a period folks. Vik

Mike Austin
Perhaps this pic of Mike Austin clarifies. His forearm looks like it is ready to give birth.
