Hey Tim

Thing is all those pro axemen guys have great pivots , motions........ figuring out why or how is interesting from a golf perspective. I have a feeling he isnt thinking about his weight shift or his sequence for instance... So what is he thinking about in our terms? What automates that pivot ....what are his intentions?

Check these guys out.......they all have a similar motion and great pivots to my golfers eye.

Would the equivalent for us be to just smash the clubhead into and right on through the aiming point ....... as if the shaft would snap in the process? I dunno but I bet it has something to do with the brain and the hands. Mike O. probably has some good stuff on this sort of thing....

it is interesting for sure, it says a couple of things to me

1) they are feeling the weight of the axehead & responding to that with the intention of applying maximum force to impact
2) as you say they are into aiming point but imo aren't likely to be consciously considering plane lines, shaft alignments etc they are just doing - there could be something for a lot of us in that thought 'more doing less thinking'

that said, no doubt they train for this stuff & there might well be coaches who have analysed their stroke & identified optimum arm/wrist/shaft angles etc
