I never would have guessed he was a deep pitch snap releaser. Just look at those positions starting at :35 with his elbow past the right hip and leading the hands with the shaft well above horizontal, at :37 with his hands ahead of the ball(line of sight) and the shaft just a little below horizontal, and then impact at :39 with perfect alignments. What great camera work catching those 3 critical positions. This is about as good as it gets!

WOW MizunoJoe!

One of my favorite players, I had no idea how much he moved back, but as you mentioned, beautiful alignments at impact. Just goes to show there are many ways to effectively swing the club...

I wonder why some great teachers of TGM include the Essentials as part of their teaching bible, while others treat them much like the optional components??? We all seem to agree on the Imperatives.

On a side note, I was fortunate to attend a little clinic with Bobby Clampett the other night. I was very impressed with both he and his ball striking. I would say his move is somewhere between stationary head and Mr, Verplank. He talked quite a bit about Mr. Doyle and his influence. Great stuff!

It really does come down to impact alignments...
