I'm glad it does.

I took a buch of lessons from a Harvey Pennick taught touring pro. He said Harvey's main key for him was to "get your left shoulder and head back over his right(back) knee on the backswing and then just let everything go toward the target".
Sounds like a nice pivot. Ballard doesn't believe in a pivot.

On the subject of early release, I'll point out that neither Jack Nicklaus nor Tiger Woods holds off release, and in fact, both start releasing the clubhead early in their downswings.

Yes, so does Watson- it is called a sweep release. Els, Hogan ans Sergio use a snap release. TGM explains all of this. Sweep relase is wonderful for a driver, less so for wedges- but you can. If you want I can show you pictures of Jack, Tiger and Watson using a snap release. Good golfers can perform move than one release.

I'm glad Ballard works for you. You say that TGM doesn't, since much of Ballard is explained in TGM book, what doesn't work for you? What is TGM swing in your opinion and who taught it to you?

Id just love to see Ballard swing the club just once- he doesn't on any of the tapes I have.
