Nicklaus Opening shoulders = not on plane Define Tilt early......tilt away from the target? On plane Tilt toward the ground? Possible to stay on plane but tricky Hogan Opening shoulders = off plane Hogan's position can tolerate a tighter gyroscope, if that is what you mean. Although I really can't imagine Hogan spinning out. Fast hips? The fastest. But he pivoted, never spun. Are we getting closer? I may have to call in Mike O for backup.......
