I totally agree with EdZ as well. I personally shy away from intentional throwaway, unless I absolutely have to and the lie is right for me. Ill open it up or move it forward or vertical hinge it but swinging the clubhead is a last ditch resort for me anyways . Not so for everyone though. Its super popular on tour, Geoff O'gilvy does it from everywhere.

Yoda is a master at it too. ... I know that in one of his early videos with V.J., V.J. was talking about kids spending too much time doing these "throwaway" flops with their friends etc and "de learning" the flat left wrist, but I can assure you Yoda has perfected 10-3-J. Ive seen him quite literally spend hours hitting them over the practice bunker at Cuscawilla.

Its breaking a lot of our normal alignments/rules but we are talking about an intentional loss of compression here..... which requires a master's level of execution OR you to be a complete hack. Golf can be so ironic.

Mike respekt but, I'd say Sneaky Pete had a pretty fluffy lie , a wide open face, the ball placed around low point, a hinge action and used some intentional throwaway.....but I could be wrong. What else is new? Thats what I see anyways. He just looks like he's scooting it under the ball to me, cutting the legs out.

One things for sure ......Pete got skills.
