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.
You're on the money here, Bucket, and in your own inimitable style.

As usual.



Now, what say you about Arnie's steep backstroke shoulder turn, the steepest of all the major champions? (Same as the hockey player Patrrick Kane with his slap shot in your prior post #129). Especially when coupled with what has been described by some as a flat arm swing? Address the 'closed' clubface if you think its relevant.

Here are photos you posted in another thread. Feel free to redirect us if it serves the purpose. If you prefer, I'll pop this post over here: http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/thread8528.html







What's going on here?



P.S. If our mutual friend Eddie Cox wants to chime in here, I'll be the first to take a ringside seat.
