Clearly....BUT ..... there is a broader point to be made here...you get it ....many don't.... Hockey is hockey YES....but there are many cats that know golf that DON'T KNOW SQUAT ABOUT....HITTING.....There are plenty of golf guru's that make millions of dollaz that think Hitting is a "punch shot"....there are PLENTY....maybe even the majority...of GSEB's, GSEM's GSEDizzlewizzles GSE-ain't-got-no-apostolic-succession...that don't understand Hitting...MUCH LESS TEACH IT. So don't miss the broader point here...Hockey's got many Hitting Alignments, Hitting loading, Hitting Hinging, Hitting Paddlewheel Motion, Hitting Drive Out, Hitting Layback and Closing, Right Forearm alignment, support and powered.....It don't just happen in Golf...but we can use G.O.L.F. to make it happen and broaden our understanding...and make it accessable to folks that don't get it.....remember in the book HOmer says that his system could be used in other sports...WHY NOT HOCKEY? Stick game on an angled plane....Homer used many examples outside of golf to illustrate his principles....same thing going on here....sometimes it helps to see similar stuff going outside of golf....the geometry is applicable to many sports....so is the physics....just trying to get Hitting its proper due. __________________ Aloha Mr. Hand Behold my hands; reach hither thy hand Last edited by 12 piece bucket : 12-26-2011 at 07:34 PM. 12 piece bucket View Public Profile Send a private message to 12 piece bucket Find all posts by 12 piece bucket
