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 . . . Was it mentioned on the link that the snap was the route to distance? A better statement would be a high percentage of snappers are long hitters. Also, is Ben's swing really a get rich swing? __________________ The Singapore Slinger http://justintanggolf.blogspot.com comdpa View Public Profile Send a private message to comdpa Find all posts by comdpa
