Guilty here too.

Do you study GRF traces to try to improve?

Pink slip to the author.

There are playable alternative trail hand orientations, which is too long to get into, but straying too far from Hogan's grip will make life a little bit tougher. Just remember when finding your best option the thumb and index finger are the touch side of the hand and the other three fingers are the power side of the hand. Some players executing a delicate maneuver around the green might orient more like the magazine pic. Not sure what context was for magazine article.

No, never will either beyond possibly looking at the colorful pictures because I know how our mass mingles with ground's resistance for our benefit. -
Forget magazine, Hogan's 5L book, page 25, has a good picture. Put left hand only on club and fully c0ck and set that wrist-hand at eye level and orient shaft vertical to ground, then place trail hand as shown.

No negatives if sequenced properly, and finding trail side can be easier than the more stacked or centered options.

Erica Larkin: Heretical or 'True' swing?
sundaypins replied to Nickc's topic in Instruction & Academy
I'm not too far behind you. Technology used for examining medical health in order to continue playing a game seems somewhat removed from technology used for examining health of a game- one seems more life or death than the other. Reminds me that some eat to live while others live to eat. -
But don't they sneak in mode value as a range?

Erica Larkin: Heretical or 'True' swing?
sundaypins replied to Nickc's topic in Instruction & Academy
Understanding some of this forum's swing material and discussion might be less edible, or understandable, for some can make it all the more enjoyable for others looking for their one time fast moment. "arms like noodles"🙄🤣 Good luck to you. https://www.facebook.com/secretgolf/videos/10154965191008968/ -
Erica Larkin: Heretical or 'True' swing?
sundaypins replied to Nickc's topic in Instruction & Academy
These are nice comments. Learning to throw a ball and playing as a kid was a summer time imperative for avoiding the alternative- staying close to home within the radius of hearing mom's voice calling to come home for light chore duty. Ball or chores, easy choice. Helped coach a travel ball team and a player didn't make the team unless they were athletes with pitching skills. -
You're welcome. I have a bag filled with goodies.😎

Erica Larkin: Heretical or 'True' swing?

A basic, ageless, concept video pulled from other sources, not heretical, good viewing material for many. The section about not interfering, or interrupting, arm momentum couldn't be more on target. That poor little ball sitting all alone on the ground just waiting for some chop to give it a mighty whack when they'd be better off taking a page from Sam Snead saying to the ball- "don't worry baby I won't hurt you." -
And return his observation with... 'yeah, as long as you don't find a double-cross.'
-
That's fine, I tried. Again, good luck.

Maybe a question needing personal examination is: if one uses a stick on the ground for aiming a ball going airborne, does it make sense using the sky for aiming a ball that rolls on the ground during a putt. Not disparaging sticks on the ground by any means but there are other ways of aiming that are arguably better, some even aim the shaft visually. Have a listen to one of those good ideas about different options. Good luck, aiming is a tough nut to crack for many.

Moe/Bryson single plane swing thread
sundaypins replied to ChaosTheory's topic in Instruction & Academy
Love the username! Welcome aboard. -
This section from AMG, where the club is basically suspended in air and the player has to go attach to the handle, is the type of instruction that needs to be brought forth more often as it can become a real eye opener for students. It's an old school process too, I've seen instructors hold the club at the top in back of a student and have them, from address, go get on the handle in the quickest, most efficient way, and see what instinctive move they make.

I Early Extend - Why? - What Else? [Video]
sundaypins replied to jmrski2's topic in Instruction & Academy
All upper body mainly because from whatever angle the legs are soft noodles and unable to assist by driving upper action. We knock a man in the ring down with our arm and fist, we knock him out of the ring with our feet and legs driving the arms and fist, so you're basically throwing something against your legs instead of bringing something with your legs. Hip action solution. -
Try 4" tees using an old wood block driver you can easily find for a couple bucks.

Hard to say without seeing first hand but since golf IS a stretching exercise in itself, stretching is about the only thing I do with either stretch bands or hand weights. For instance, holding two dumbbells at address and making full range slow motion pivot is a good exercise, many more.

Phenomenal! Younger Moe, classic footwork, thanks.

Nice seeing AMG video talking about a return 'spot', or area, associated with 'shallowing the right amount' on the return swing, otherwise known from the player's view as 'the slot'- a dynamic that's been talked about for ages and found not by placement, but by process. Here's a good complimentary video on striking from trail side. Arm routing can be more down the line and still be on the trail side using a more compressive down into the ball versus throwing through the ball. Still have to work on pivot either way.
