I'm not a big fan of it, but I've seen some pretty effective use. Why is it the black sheep in teaching circles. I have my thoughts about it, but trust y'all will work it out.

Thanks for letting me have recess.
Oh don't get me wrong I got nothing against Circle Path. Tom Watson was a sweepy type but he's got what 9 or so Majors? David Orr had a pick of a dude using Circle Path out here at one point and people freaked out and said it looked 'flickdid. But if he had just posted the impact pic . . . the same folks would have been like shaazaam! I think the Circle dealie is fine but inoder for you to get the same clubhead speed for full power shots you'd better be ready or have some hand speed. But for "arms shots" and short game shots and flops and non-pivot delivery strokes circle path is superior. Mr. Kelley said zero out your pivot and hit "full" shots arms shots and see what kind of distance and control you can creat. May be surprised.

I'm just trying to make a point that many who get jacked up about automatic snap releases and small pulleys and line delivery and max trigger delay . . . better SLOW DOWN to take maximum advantage of the mechanical advantage that a small pulley at the end of that endless belt presents.

I think that's why you see Tiger hit some weird out of character shots. He don't need another make-over. He needs to back it down just a little . . . he'd be nastier'n he already is. Think about that performance he gave at Ballibunion or wherever the heck that was. If he thought of the driver as his "play" club as Mr. Jones used to say . . . and brought the same sense of precision and reserve as he did those long irons rather than trying to come off the top rope, he may live on an $80 million dollar island, be #1 in the world and have one the hottest women on the planet as his old lady . . . uh wait a minute.

A. You don't need all that hand speed with a snap release . .. that's the whole point of the thing anyway.
B. The small pulley physically DEMANDS relatively slower handspeed . . . otherwise forget about precision alignments and potentially your flat left wrist.
