Thom,

Thanks buddy, I got it now....

This is a great freaking video! One question. Lynn says in the video that hitting is not Brians "cup of tea", but since the video was made has Brian been using more of hitters pattern?

Ive been watching him the last couple weeks in Hawaii and Palm Springs, and I dont have the eye to tell if he's swinging or hitting.

Great stuff either way, espically the hinge descriptions and laoding procedures.

Easily the best $25 Ive spent on golf instruction video.

cheers!

To me, he is still swinging as I don't see much a difference between now and the video.

But if someone knows, I'm still interested in a confirmation of what Brian is really doing...

Brian feels he uses his Right Arm a lot during the Impact Interval. That would explain why setting his Right Forearm On Plane at Address these past three years has made such a tremendous difference for him. Also, his abbreviated Backstroke is indicative of Drive Loading, and despite his extremely fast Downstroke Shoulder Turn, his Hip and Shoulder 'separation' is minimal. Finally, all his Short Shot and 'through Impact' posed alignments tend toward Angled Hinging (with its 'bad shot' being a 'Push Cut).

So, the jury is out, but as near as I can figure, he's Hitting, and these are the alignments we've emphasized. On the other hand, Brian's good TOUR friend, John Riegger, thinks he's Swinging.

Most of us need to take a page from Jeff Hull's book and not worry so much about it. Pay attention to the Impact alignments -- per 1-L #20, the Geometry is identical for every Machine -- and let your natural instincts dictate the Physics of the Action.

Yoda,

The more I watch the video, the more I realize how beautifully simple Brian's motion is. We all try to make it so complicated, and you've just moved it into as few moving parts as possible... Just solid structure. Am I on the right track?

Thanks,
Kevin

Often in the real world we observe neither black nor white but grey.

Thanks for this.

Brian is also very well ranked (#5 actually) in the PGA Tours stats in Scrambling and if I remember well, it was also the case last year.
I guess that his right forearm on plane in chipping helps a lot to start the ball consistently on the right track.

I also never saw him much using cut shots with an open-open stance. Instead, I see a lot of square-square + right foream on plane: I remember Dave Pelz in his Short Game bible saying that ball's behaviour (bounce/roll/scatter) was more reliable.
