Woods??
Annikan-I know this is a little off from the post but from what I hear you say Woods is moving towards more of a swinging motion would that put the Harmon motion more towards a hitting motion and the Haney/Jacobs method more of a swinging?

What do you think of what Woods is doing with Haney?

Would love to hear your opinion of Hank Kuehne who used to be a Haney guy and has run back and forth and now seems to be hitting it sideways??

24 COMPONENTS... and most, if not all, have BALANCE, are on PLANE, at least through around release point(9-2-9)to separation, and have CLUBHEAD LAG to some extent.

Anything else?

Nice job compiling the list Lagster!!!

I'd like to hear from some of the...uh hum...older folks. Those that have seen both Trevino and Hogan. I only have tape and have not had the privelege to see either live. Anyone?

Hogan is #1. Knudson and Micky Wright and Moe Norman should get some votes.
I sure wish I had seen them in person! (which was why I didn't include them in my list)

Jamie Hullet (not Hallet) - LPGA player - VJ if you ever get the chance, your mastery of putting is very much needed in her case!

As to what they have in common...

Balance, Plane - and a good Grip for the motion they make.

I've seen Trevino several times. All on the Senior Tour.
I saw him hit a drive that was as straight as an arrow, fairly low, and fairly long. He goes through that little routine... then that ball tears out of there. I know a former tour player that used to play practice rounds with Trevino. He said he was by far the best ball striker.

I know a tour player from the 50's and 60's that played with Hogan. He said the SOUND he produced from striking the ball was quite unique. Snead did not like to play with him, because his tempo(Hogan's) bothered Sam.

Really? That's funny....ya they are kinda polar opposites tho.

I don't get how Hogan's swing can even work with his fast tempo.

I mean....he's a Swinger right? I dunno....I tend to fall towards the slow side I guess....doesn't work when I Swing fast like that.
