Is hitting more back friendly?

[purehitter]

is this the 'hammer" motion on your site? No rt arm extensor action from what I recall. Heard some people getting it out there w/ the pattern. What PA's are you using, 4 barrel?

No this is not the Hammer Swing Pattern. It is a 4 barrel pattern right out of TGM book.

hey Bucket,

Did TT say why it was harder on back?

Apparently he didnt have a full understanding of the hitting procedure saying it was "powerless effort" and shorter on distance than swinging.


dunno, those balls Ted hits sure tell a different story

It's actually not long after that statement was made that Mr. Kelley passed. Don't mean to imply there was a connection but I'm quite sure that Mr. Kelley WOULD NOT agree. I'm mean he was a lil' bitty Mr. Magoo looking dude and he was a self-described Hitting afficionado.

Hello guys,

Does anyone know if hitting tends to be a little esier on the back than swinging?

Thanks

So far I'm finding hitting to be much easier on my body... now that I've said it, I'm probably doing it incorrectly or my back will go out tomorrow...

Kev,

I shot you a question at Iseek, are you mixing the VJ pivot w/ a hitting procedure?

Thanks

I didn't make the connection ColtsFan. I answered over there as well. Yes, I'm definitely hitting, and need a pattern that helps me keep from staying on my right side. I'm messing with Trolio's "secret", which I think is a wonderful component whether you think it's Hogan's secret or not. I'm also trying to figure out Mr. Gay's pattern, magic of the right forearm rocks, and I'm sort of blending his motion with Trolios hip component along with a lot of what I've learned from S&T to stay left and not get stuck on the right side.

I might be making a mess, but I'm having fun and excited about playing the game again!

exactly what Im doing now..I would very happy w/ Brian's pattern 265 down the middle every time would win me some Nassua's.

Love the heavy feeling of hitting and possible less stress on the back. Staying behind the ball w/ a steady head, while you make that lateral toward the target on your BS is tricky. My head wants to move in front of the ball
The good part is if you do it right all you have to do is turn. PM me some time on your progress.

I may get "Alligment Golf" too to supplemnt the Brian Gay video he did w/ Lynn.

ColtsFan. I LOVE the Brian Gay video, and watch it constantly, but Alignment Golf is by far the best money I have ever spent on learning golf and G.O.L.F. Please get it, you will LOVE it, and TGM will make so much more sense!

Kev,

thanks for the reccomendation, I will order it today. I have yet to here a bad review.

Do they touch on both hitting and swinging, also is the pivot covered?
