Pivotal Axis

[6bmike]

Are you sure? I could swear that Homer talks about Legs hundreds and hundreds of times. Doesn't he say:

1. Drive the Legs.
2. Start your Downswing by swinging your left leg toward the target.
3. Drive with your right leg.
4. Shift your weight to your left leg on the backswing and onto the right leg of the downswing.
5. Don't move your legs in a non-pivot swing.
6. Move your legs in a pivot swing.
7. Don't take a cart, use your legs and walk.
8. Passive legs.
9. Active legs.


These are such familiar phrases. If Homer didn't say them, then who did? The legs are body components. Why aren't they swinging components?

I don't know Bennett and Plummer. Who are they?

This thread started going downhill after the first post. I was hoping it would get lost.

Perhaps instructors do but no mention of legs in the index or section eight or in any of the zones. Lots of talk about knees and hips- which are legs just more precise. Hips move the pivot, Knees are anchors and platforms to keep the head staionary. I don't think Homer address the issue carts in the yellow book. How can you start the downswing by swinging your left leg toward the target- kinda Monty pythonish. Your hips can use the feet and knees- but you can't 'swing the leg.' Homer uses his labguage with precision- a machine.

Bennett and Plummer coach Dean Wilson, Will MacKenzie, Mike Weir, Aaron Baddeley among others. I know you are familiar with them. Andy and Mike are nice guys- got Homer from O'Grady. O'grady got TGM from Mr. Kelley. They just build different machines, respectfully.
