I have recently started the exercises that BioMechanic teaches. He has also been good enough to answer my many questions. What has been a real eye opener for me is how I have been able to link what Bio has explained to me back to the many, many, many exercises and drills that I have read and watched and been told about over the years. But what he has explained to me doesn't just say "Do this" it is linked back to the basic physical, chemical and mechanical forces that create the results.

For example, why would he say that physics is 90% and geometry is only 10%? Well lets look at 3 fundamentals - FLW, lag and plane. Well if your physics start from the ground and follow the kinetic link up you will get a FLW - how can you not - all of the force is in front of the clubhead. And it is the lag that is generated that leads to a FLW. Certainly you need to obey some fundamental geometry in your set up. But you can more easily have perfect geometry and throw it all away with poor physics that have perfect physics and mess it up through poor geometry. In fact I am finding that my body is creating good geometry while I do the exercises because it I don't everything goes haywire when I hit the impact bag.

As for plane we are all aware of the many incredible golfers over the years whos only brush with plane is through the impact zone. If you work around a stable spine with shoulders and hips aligned you will maintain a really good plane.

And best of all the training makes this automatic. It trains your body to naturally create the right biomechanics. Then you can fine tune your alignments and set up to work the ball how you want.

Not to say that you can't hit a ball successfully with poor physics but good geometry. You can I'm sure. But better with good physics, surely?
