Right on CG, I hear his shaft is double x these days, built up and an inch over standard.... haha...this could go for days. Anyway, why a change in trajectory through calming the pivot? And what's "better"?

No doubt, the squat/jump adds timing issues, but at the end of the day it compounds centrifugal force and overall throw out speed. World long drive guys are virtually weightless at impact when measured on force plates. Ask Ted Fort, a guy he teaches is an up and coming world long drive guy that probably weighs 225.......he probably weighs 350 at startdown/release and 30 at impact. Its Tigers athletic dna and will always be a battle......yes keep working at it, but it isn't the death move as always proclaimed IMHO... forget it, just can't lean it that much with that pivot..........

I have a friend who is thinking about getting into long drives and he does a very similar thing, its force down to jump up.

I know when I do it correctly I can get an extra 5--7mph on the driver but I lose my tush line to much and get under plane.
