I'm shocked. :boxing: While browsing the Forums, it was said that BG was a Hitter and that Straightening His Legs has something to do with Hitting. If I wasn't so surprised :o I could remember where it came from. I read it just this morning. :BangHead:

I thought from Yoda's video that Brian was a swinger. I have been corrected by many on other forums saying he is a hitter. Should I stick to my guns? Which is he?

I read Hitter. Maybe 4 Barrel? Right Arm Thrust. I feel like a NewBe.:confused1

I think its still unresolved to some degree. There is a Yoda post somewhere on this. If I recall correctly something along the lines of:

-Yoda says he's thrusting, for the most part. "Near as he can figure"
-stops at Top with the pressure point staying on the aft of the shaft.
-starts from adjusted though, lagging takeaway.
-angled hinging
-push fade tendency like most hitters
-his buddy John Reggier thinks he's swinging.

In B.G's first video with Yoda he looks to be really turning his pivot actively through the ball. In later videos he seems to have toned it down a touch. Short, slow and heavy. At least to my eye.

Hey different strokes for different folks. I think Larry Nelson has been described as a hitter, from adjusted, that goes to end (across the line at top but along the angle of approach) etc.

Im thinking there should be a "who am I" game around here. Yoda lets us in on one component every day until somebody names the pro. The winner getting free access to the free video vault in perpetuity. Only TGM could support this sort of thing.

Great Idea for the Golf Channel when Yoda gets his 1/2 hour weekly. He can explain and demonstrate the component, and at the end of the season the Golfer is Identified. Then, one those that forwarded their responses can be drawn from a hat to win something.

O.B. at least two of us will watch every week. :)

I think Brian is trying to hold back the right hip as long as possible and you guys are looking at something that might distroy your own swing. This is for Brian and might or probley want work for most!

If he's a Hitter, then his pivot is a Backstop for his Right Forearm fanning slap-punch. More Pivot Overlap = greater Mass, Less separation, you know the drill. :golf:

We should be able to identify the components and variations he uses. :salut:

Swing or Hit? Do both?
Alignment Golf. :salut:
Paraphrasing Homer: 'the ball only goes where it's told'.

Great quote. We get too hung up on things that don't really matter in the big scheme!

Except that Hitters have fallen to the Darkside.
