He does nearly the same thing with the driver swing though

Watch that video and you can see he basically makes the same swing, snaps his left leg and his hips work really left. You also get a pretty good look at his finish swivel, or anit-swivel. It really shows how he cocks his left arm up and keeps his arms closer together

If you got his hips to go LESS left, he would lose some of that lag, he would have to. His impact interval would have to start sooner and that big lag look would be reduced....A LOT.

How would you get him to get it up in the air?



Here's Duval . . . ANOTHER shut faced turned grip angled hinger who when this sequence was taken was the BEST ON THE PLANET . . . and hit it to THE MOON. Look at Boo's left knee and how level his hips are compared to Double D.

Watch this action compared to Boo's . . . this stuff is in the book . . . Chapter 10 . . . knee action(level hips vs. slanted hips) . .. hip action . . . it's in there . . . promise.

So heres the deal . . . if you are going to have a shut face and a turned left hand . . . do you want to pivot like

A. Zach Johnson
B. Sergio Garcia
C. Boo Weekly
D. David Duval

I pick D. or Double D.

But Duval has less LAG look and he starts letting go of those accumulators earlier. Boo is later, which is why he hits it lower.

I agree with the pivot, Duval has a great pivot, but the best strong-gripped, shut faced pivot of all time is......

John Daly....seriously, if his arm swing weren't so long we would be raving about how sexy his pivot is.

De-lagging is what Bedwetter tried to do with Charlie Howell. He wanted him to be more of a right-sided slinger.....God save us from David Leadbetter.

Maybe . . . but . .. I don't see that Daly has a shut face really. I'm looking at a sequence in a book back when he played that Whale driver and it hangs pretty toe down where a normal human would stop their swing. I'll search for pics . . .

Duval tilts and turns left hard to keep the face open . . . plus he had way more shaft lean than John D . . . another face opener.

No doubt Duval has a better overall golf swing, but Daly's pivot (especially young, skinny Daly) is one of the best.

Here's another Duval . . . . . to the moon.





Here's AP . .. hit it down . . .

This is such a great thread. Thanks, guys!

:salut:

rules
 

It must be against LBG rules to use John Daly and sexy in the same sentence. :naughty: The only possible exemption would be in Bucket's room.

I knew bad things happened in this room, but I never knew the magnitude!

That's my boy!!
