The Time Machine: Sam Snead / Bob Toski Clinic
 

We at Lynn Blake Golf are pleased to present this excerpt from a private clinic with Sam Snead and Bob Toski. But don't just 'watch' this video. Instead, engage the full power of your visual and auditory senses and an alert, inquiring mind. Only in this manner will you experience the wealth of information it contains.

Afterwards, I encourage each of you to post your observations and revelations. C'mon...post! The act of writing will crystallize your thoughts and 'cement in' what you've learned. Plus, we will all benefit from the distillations of the 'collective mind.' After a day or so, I'll weigh in with my own thoughts.

And now...

Step into our Time Machine and pull up a chair front and center. Soon just a few feet away will be two of the greats of golfing history telling you and showing you how they get the job done.

Ready? Buckle up...

Here we go!

Yet another genuine 'thank you'! Wonderful to see such legends in motion.

Such pure 'swingers' of the club. Gems of knowledge - from the 'building' of speed, to the driving right side and knee, to 'lag' and low point manipulation and so much more. I've always like Sneads "key" of the holster - returning the hands to 'impact', and Toski's "How to Feel a real Golf Swing" is one of my personal favorites.

Not from the clip, but my favorite Toski quote - "The feel is in the hands and the feet"

sums it up quite well

And the crisp sound of true impact.... click.... click.... click.....


gotta love Sneads way of saying things.... "swing down and up at the same time"

pure 'feel' descriptions, and very accuarate ones IMO

Great stuff!! Can't wait till the next in the series of Blakebuster videos!

Snead's got a silky smooth swing...great tempo.

From Sam's description... he feels as if he is swinging on one plane, or track. I could see and sense the effortless power in his swing. He takes it back nice and easy, then pours it on at the ball.

I could see his flat left wrist at the TOP, or END.

His stationary head is just so great to see....

I love the down and up at the same time .... I thought it was interesting with him talking about the clubface being open at address as it should be for the swinger.....

Great video - these are just so great - really thank you....

Mr Blake these videos are great. I can't thank you enough. Watching the videos brings your words to life. Understanding things on an intellectual level only gets you so far watching the various videos brings your words and the book to life. Thanks and keep the videos coming.

Sifting through the horrible audio, I think I heard Sam say there are two reasons why one hits at the ball instead of through the ball. One is too much right arm and not enough participation from the left arm which causes the hands to stop at waist or chest high. Second , one's backswing is too fast, which encourages the right arm hacking motion. Acceleration occurs on the downswing, not the backswing.

Toski chimes in to add that lack of body rotation also contributes to hitting at the bal instead of through the ball.

More of a what goes on in a proper swing instead of a how to. Not helpful IMHO. Great swing. Dearth of instruction.

The Horn Of Plenty
 

As I stated in my introduction, you must bring not only your ears to bear on this video, but also your eyes and (trained) intellect. When you do, then the 'dearth' of instruction becomes a veritable cornucopia, as I will demonstrate with my own promised observations.

38 meg :shock: my poor little 56k modem just went into hiding :)

I don't know what year this was done it, but it does bring back some memories of days of old and greats (now they refer to them as of the past).

Found it interesting, terms not quite the same but you could may a great deal of this into TGM terms and validate the principles.

Boy his swing was fluid......wow!

Thanks and looking forward to your observatons...
