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...

What a great opportunity! I could literally talk to him for hours. I wonder if Bobby mentioned any of the "junk" Ben taught him.
Someone on this forum has over 4100 posts and doesn't know what release is????
Where is the over taking? Those clubs ain't encountering the pulley . . . in that video with the older Shaeffer . . . he talks about the left arm being "rope" or loose or whatever . . . Doyle and Verplank are pulling with the left arm . . . short radius . . . Doyle's gotta shrink up his left arm so he doesn't crash the ground . . . Verplank's had wrist surgery . . . not saying his golf swing caused it but it looks like both of the are "holding on"
What good is the sexy angle if you never dump it? No surface speed . .
Since I'm ig-nant tell me what release IS? Is it hanging on to the accumulators and trying to deliver some massive amount of shaft lean to the ball?
Schaeffer is doing something way different than Doyle and Verplank . . . lever assembly gets extended. . . all that float loading is sexy but not sure it's required . . .

Bently musta forgot to give him the lesson about sticking his head over his right foot in the backstroke and hanging back . . . good thing he didn't turn up that day

He was getting his nose right over the ball at impact. Great control of his golf ball and that sound of compression (heavy hit ) you only hear from the great players... I didn't hear anything that wasn't consistent with my studies here with YODA, but I haven't been around as long as you guys...

You don't know what the pulley is.
The left shoulder pulls the left arm.
The only thing they are holding onto at release point is the grip.
They both "dump it".
You're sch!tting me! After 4100+ posts? What have you guys been talking about all these yrs?
FINALLY, you say something that's partially true!!!!! But the difference isn't release type, they're all three snapping, but Schaeffer is pivoting harder and faster - he's snapping faster.
