Does cataloging hurt? Thanks Daryl.
Hey Comet, I may invite a firestorm of controversy, but I think hitting is "superior" on and around the greens (please allow for my own psychological needs.) I'm not sure how much centrifugal force you can apply to say a 20 yard chip shot...there is simply not a great deal of CF in effect. However, with extensor action and a very marked #3 PP and #1 Acc. you can exercise a great deal of control on short shots. I am all for an integrated stroke pattern tee to green, but my lab work (ok, the local driving range) suggests more structure is required the closer I get to the hole. Initially, I was disappointed, but now I see the beauty of it. I free wheel (akin to shooting skeet or quail) until I get into the scoring zone (akin to what a Marine sniper does best...Hoorah!) The weakness of this is the bane of every and any procedure, it will not serve us all. Therein lies the genius of Homer Kelley...he essentially took care of ALL of us. I marvel at the likes of Yoda, YodasLuke and Annikan (there are many others using this site, no doubt) who can not only diagnose but accurately prescribe without fear of malpractice! |
What up?!

Not so much to disagree with you (Well that is kind of enjoyable)- but more to agree with Daryl- I think he's right on in his analysis of Sergio's throwaway i.e. the quick breakdown after impact. So it's not so much "de-lagging accumulators" as a correction ( I think I read that one of his teachers was working on that or someone commented on that in the media) but creating a situation where he maintains "clubhead lag" past impact- whether that be delagging accumulators - or something else or a combination of things. Great Player! But unless you are winning every tournament - I believe you try to get better and look for where you can improve- If it was my swing ( I wish) then that's an area that looks like it could need improvement. Would really be tough to change a pattern like that- you'd really need to be motivated. |

I'm sure both techniques would work. I still go thru periods where I let a little CF do the work ...... I think it stems from being a swinger..... it just naturally progresses into all aspects of my game. However, I do find I gravitate to hitting more and more in the short game. If nothing else you FEEL like your more in control of everything, and it seems a bit easier to mete out varying levels of "thrust" or lag pressure when hitting. As far as putting.... I tried push basic and it just didn't work for me. I've gone more to more of a pendulum motion as put forth by Geoff Mangum. If you haven't seen his site.... www.theputtingzone.com it's worth a look. Some really good info on alignment, aiming, etc... regardless of the stroke techniques employed. Very "science based" information.... a nice complement to TGM. CG |
Bucket,
Thank you for forcing me to think. I understand the Release Motions better than I ever had before this thread and it has helped clear the fog on many related issues. It’s true, you get out of it what you put into it. |

Puuuuuuuhleeeeeezeeeee . . . .Why would you WANT to change a pattern like that???? Almost to a man those cats on tour say he's the best ball striker out there. That dude needs a brain adjustment more than a swing adjustment. You'd better push the crack pipe further back under the car seat or you'll be back in the joint dropping the soap on purpose again. Y'all are AMAZING! This is one of the best swings on the planet. |

If Sergio's "controlled throwaway" then Zach is "controlled steering" . . . I think Mike O got thrown out of a daycare for wearing a gorilla mask and a nun's get-up . . . with no pants. Hey Mike! You know any crackhead nun's? |

"Controlled Steering"? 190 pounds at 120 MPH? How do you Steer That? |
