This obviously shortens the Swing Radius considerably because it now only extends from the Clubhead to the Left Wrist rather than to the Left Shoulder. It moves Low Point forward -- rather than being opposite the Left Shoulder, it is now opposite the Left Wrist.

But surely a Long Drive Champion such as David Molbey wouldn't be using an inferior procedure like this. He has one of the slowest clubhead speeds in the business, yet he is one of the best. Could this be the reason why?

How can TGM explain this?

Lets say he does this because he wants to hit down on the ball. But what's the advantage of this procedure compared with the standard one where you just place the ball behind the Left Shoulder without changing Low Point location?

I have more comments later. I'd like to hear what you guys have to say.

Tong,
This is certainly one place where TGM is the only place to be, to have this explained!

Slower clubhead speed? KE=1/2M x V squared Especially with a guy the size and strength of this guy, and the athletic motion (lag) that he makes.

Lowpoint? His clubhead is at lowpoint, opposite the left shoulder- and now he's going to be hitting slightly upward on the ball. If the clubhead goes lower- looks like he'll pop it up to me.

Angular Acceleration? Until he get's to both arms straight- he's going to have Angular Acceleration.

Most the time someone's hitting up on the ball- they have allowed the left wrist to bend- but not in this situation.
