Mike - do you feel the startup swivel from the left shoulder? Your motion looks very much like that 'feel' I get in my move at about halfway back. Hitting the ball with the back of the left shoulder. Also, are you a fan of Ernest Jones? That wonderful tempo certainly looks like you've got his penknife drill mastered. Pure swinging on plane force!

Re: brian and ben always kept it very simple......
Mikestloc, have you got any old habits that keeps reoccuring (e.g. for Tiger, this would be "getting stuck" on the downswing), and how do you fix them?
What do you work on when things aren't quite right?

Mikestloc...... at the risk of being a pest, I'm going to try again. Your backstroke goes to End, and initiation down looks like a Swinger. With the exception of your right foot rising off of the ground which puts your weight on top of the shaft, driving down with the Hitter's PP#1 then Impact. Is this what you meant by "wallop the ball with your pivot....catch the dog by his tail (with your upper legs at the finish"? Then the next frame looks like the Dual Horizontal Hinge through and swivel up to finish. Swing, Hit, Swing.

The move is completely transparent in your great swing at full speed. It is such a nanosecond transition. Are you adding Drive to the CF of Drag, without interfering with the CF speed?



Thanks to Mike or anyone willing to take the time to explain this.

Charlie

Mike is swinging and this picture is just caught in the middle of the no.3 accumulator roll.....

He uses a sequenced release of the accumulators 4 2 3 .....

Here's what I meant by "Great Eye."

It LOOKS like he is ADDING right arm, but the right arm is BEING "added" by the release of his accumulators as Mathew says.

Trust me, Mike feels ALL PULLLLLLLLLLLL.....BAM!!

(Beautiful) Form Follows Function
Mike/Brian,

Great stuff! If this doesn't look like a motion (form) that has the sole purpose of mashing a golf ball (function), then I don't know what does! As a swinger I can see a lot of things in Mikes action that I'd love to improve upon in my own.

Thanks for sharing this and a great "punch list" of swing thoughts and concepts to keep in mind as we work on our own motions.

Comet
