He's not a healthy man and tires easily. Maybe the snap release pattern is the most efficient and is why he could earn over $1.75 million last yr and over $800K so far this yr? Maybe that's why Ben teaches it? But weren't y'all the cats that said that the snap release equated to distance? My contention that what Ben and Verplank are doing is NOT SNAP . . . as far as the diabetic deal . . . I know about that . . . but my counter point would be Hogan basically couldn't walk and his swing looks way more dynamic than Ben and Verplank rolled up together . . . They are not releasing the club at least that would be my observation of the pictures . . . both of them get really pitchy and tilt back behind it and their pivots stall? That's what I see . . . but I don't have $1.75 million. I'm not saying that you'd teach Verplank out of it . . . that'd be kinda like teaching Jamaal Wilks not to do that whacky thing with his jump shot. But by tour standards Verplank is a tapper. But of course he is rich. So if you wanna say this Doyle version of the "snap" release is a get rich swing fine . . . but I don't think it's the model for hittin' the long ball. Don't look like Verplank or Ben are bringing the full radius to bear on the ball to me. In my dookey ball rat poisoned mind the full radius is brought to bear by fully extending the primary lever and extending all the pivot components from the ground up FORWARD not backwards . . . knees, hips, spine, chest accumulators . . . __________________ Aloha Mr. Hand Behold my hands; reach hither thy hand Last edited by 12 piece bucket : 08-03-2011 at 08:41 PM. 12 piece bucket View Public Profile Send a private message to 12 piece bucket Find all posts by 12 piece bucket
