[Yoda]

I've been working on keeping my head stationary. I have noticed that when I sway I tend to lose the lag. Can someone articulate how swaying and the loss of lag pressure are connected? Is swaying the initial sign of over accelaration? I am amazed that you (Yoda) are adding more precision with regards to your stationary head...you look like a tether ball pole!

Second question: Other than Stuart Appelby and Brian Gay what other top players are good examples of the tripod?

When you Sway or Bob or both, it is much more difficult to achieve precision Impact alignments. If the Arc is not Centered, then you must throw the Club -- "apply a compensating vector force" (2-L) -- to hit the Ball. Without this compensation, you could actually miss the ball. In fact, if the Sway or Bob is bad enough, you can miss it anyway: Whiff!!!

There are many examples of the Centered Head on the PGA TOUR. The first that jumps to mind is Adam Scott. See my Posts #68 and #70 here http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...m+scott+tripod. Also, the Larry Nelson photo in Post #52. For the necessary insight into how the spine really works in the Backstroke, see Mathew's Posts #50 and #51 here http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...ght=adam+scott. Finally, it should be no secret -- but apparently it still is -- that Tiger's Head is much more Centered now than in his amateur and "Hello world!" days.

Remember, the gyroscope is the perfect model for the Golf Stroke, and it doesn't wobble around. Neither should you.
