[O.B.Left]

Excellent post O.B. Sure helps my understanding of the
Drills. Sure hope that you can get your video on the Website.
Yoda understands something special about the movements.
I suspect that the reason is, the more centered pivot, but
not sure. With the drills, I see the right hip going more
back than around, kind of like the right hip set out of the
way. With this, I can still see a delayed hip turn, rather
than Standard hip turn. Right forearm take away in a sense.
Like you, most likely, I am used to Golf Machine terms and
will need to adjust to added language. Maybe as time progresses
more Drill instruction will relate to Golfing Machine terms,
but then, I guess that terms will be a problem for the
general golfer. The drills sure work for me,and others that I see,
but I am not quite sure why. In time the fog will lift.
Thanks, Donn

The exercises are all about motion. Lynn teaches Homers Alignments of course , but in motion. Alignments and motion work together. The motion can produce nice dynamic alignments , for instance! You cant look like Hogan by merely copping his positions. You get there , to the extent possible , by emulating his motion IMO. The component variations with their alignments are made into a whole by motion. "A one piece total motion" . As opposed to a cobbled together collection of pieces, manipulations or positions.

The early guys (McDonald , Melhourne etc ) seemed to do a better job of teaching motion. With Lynn I found it , motion, to be very free flowing , unbridled and powerful. He'd whisper "give up control to gain control " (George Knudson) as I swung. Took me hours to get it right , to let go. Its adoption was accompanied by a better "swoosh" sound down near the ball. Did you ever notice how Phil has a nice "swoosh"? Not too many compliment him on his mechanics etc but he's got a great motion. You can hear it. You dont get that sound by hanging on to anything. Angles or positions.


You still have component options , Hip Action as you mention. I remember Lynn talking about how McDonald just got a lot of things right. Right forearm takeaway for instance, if memory serves. I personally think Lynn would say that McDonald's and Homer's books dove tail quite nicely. Better than most!
