How did you hit them? The tripod concept is HUGE! They say the name of the game is consistency...but what does that really mean? For me it has some to mean a predicatble low point, or the supremacy of a centered arc. The more tethered...the fewer the compensations...the more consistent you are. Watching the players that Yoda recommended as good examples of a centered and stationary head you can still see slight movement, but not much. I used to set up with a lot of axis tilt, supposedly as a result of the right arms being lower than the left, this moved low point back and resulted in great inconsistency. I now learn a great deal from my divots. Case in point: A few weeks back I played a round where I hit 2-3 medium irons shots slightly out to the right. My divots were a little deeper than ideal and starting a bit more up plane than they should. In the old days I would have started to fret over my ailing swing. This time I moved the ball 2 inches down plane and....voila...Stripe City! This is what Jack Nicklaus talked about when he emphasized the importance of being able to fix one's swing during the round, a fix not an overhaul mind you!
I think many people sway in an attempt to create width in their arc. This is why in my opinion the tripod concept and extensor action are important to understand in concert with one another.
