There is a reason people like mac's motion.
great stuff!
Perfect angled hinge (righty)
Nice horizontal hinge (lefty)
absoutely wonderful both arms straight position (righty).
Notice the SOUND of impact

Ed Z,
It is good stuff...Imagine what it was like when it was "sharpened" when he was healthy and competing as oppossed to injured and tinkering?
Man it was awesome to watch him PLAY(I watched him a few times when I was working with Clearwater)...He played different from anyone I've ever seen...Even though he didn't score well...He played like Picasso or Michaelangelo...But a few sloppy "strokes" with the "brush" made his artwork go unappreciated....
It doesn't take much to turn a 65 into 75...as we all know!!!

Clearwater had/has one of my personal favorite motions. Very 'clean'. No wasted motion, a lot like Purtzer, just not as smooth tempo/transition.
I've only see a few clips of mac in motion, and many stills (was in '85 or so that one of the mags did a sequence?). If anyone has clips of mac during his 'prime' I'd love to see them. These are a real treat. Thanks for posting them.

Mathew,
I have more...But this picture shows so much of the BOOK
Clubhead Lag
Flat left Wrist
Right Forearm Angle of Approach
Shoulders
Hips
Knees
Feet
etc....
Do you think people are scared to look at O'Grady...Or do they just don't want to see anything but what they're "trained" to see...I know his set-up is unorthodox.. So wasn't Moe Norman....two of the BEST were NOT orthodox in set-up...BUT in-swing ...SHOW me 2 Better that are still LIVING !!!

People are generally scared of things they do not understand. Thats one of the reasons why TGM has been out of the golfing publics eyes for so long. The golfing machine shows why their stroke functions the way it does and what compensations must result...... like Homer said (paraphrasing) "there is no need to discuss patterns as better or worse as there are many precision patterns except on the basis of ideal mechanical advantage".... |

Great quote Matt...haven't heard that one...
...better patterns only on the basis of ideal mechanical advantage...
I like it. Co-incides with TGM being all about OPTIONS.

Looked it up - I found it in 1-H misc notes....4th paragraph
"There is no effort to classify any Stroke Pattern as best or worst, except on the basis of Mechanical Advantage." |
