This time, the error is even more egregious: The Stroke is through Start Down and well into the Downstroke. Even whoever wrote the accompanying text seemed to realize that something different was going on: "The wrists have cocked considerably more than they do in playing a longer iron. The reason -- for short shots you hit the ball more with the hands and arms." No, the reason the "wrists have cocked considerably more" is because it is a Downstroke photo, not a Backstroke photo! It is stuff like this that caused Homer Kelley to ignore the text of the golf books of his day and focus on the photos themselves. Still not a bad idea! __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage! Find all posts by Yoda
