Swinging with the driver equates to greater motion. The swivel,hinging and swivel makes it difficult to get a consistent strike. Hitting has the feeling of less moving parts and more control of the motion. IT seems like hitting is easier to learn yet no PGA golf instructor I have ever met teaches hitting. Yoda makes it look effortless I am hard pressed to tell the difference when he hits or swings. I don't think they would even know what pattern they teach and why should they- it's all mix and match. From he low and slow take-away to the pulling down the church bell, fire the hips, roll the wrists- it is all held together with band- aids. The good ones know, even the non-TGM ers, know what works. The problem I see is their ambiguous language that confuses students from one tip to the next. Before Lynn, nobody taught Hitting- it was the bastard stepchild, the swing for fat old men. Lynn showed what Hitting is and that it is a stroke pattern for everyone. 6bmike View Public Profile Send a private message to 6bmike Find all posts by 6bmike
