Remember the endless belt is a concept to illustrate the differences in the hands moving in a wide circular fashion versus moving in a sharp more linear fashion. As your pictures illustrate the hands don't actually move in a straight line.

Now as for Sergio . . . go to Youtube and watch some of his swings. He stays right on top of the ball. There's not a lot of moving around in his motion of his head relative to a lot of the pros out there. Go to Youtube and watch some swing visions . . . The other thing you'll notice about this motion is there is relatively little axis tilt in comparison to some of the other dudes out there . . . Zach for example. If Sergio had tons of Axis tilt ala Ben Doyle you'd never have heard of him.

We've been here before but watch his swing and look how high his club is off the ground as the hands get in the area of the right and left thigh. This swing is STEEP. Look at Zach's motion that is SWEEPY. Watch the swings and watch the angle of attacks. Sergio has a big shift to a flatter plane but the swing is still STEEP.

Do some comparison work and see what you can figure out about how the motions are different and how the comparitively work.

I beg to differ. The Endless Belt simply demonstrates that a 46” Secondary Lever attached to a smaller pulley will have greater Clubhead Velocity than a 46” Lever attached to a Larger Pulley but that the end of each Secondary Lever ( and this is the important point of the concept ) travels at the same RPM as the Hand it is attached to, so the Concept blends nicely with the Hinge Concept (with which I also agree) and Clubhead Speed and Hand Speed are related but not necessarily cause and effect. Shorter People will have a smaller pulley. Tall people have a larger pulley. You do not get a smaller pulley if you swing shorter clubs. That's why a Driver has Higher Clubhead Speed than a Wedge. That is also why an apparently short person like Hogan Could Hit the Ball as far as a taller person. If you outline the path of the hands for one foot before and one foot after impact of every golfer in the world, then you'll see this relationship. I'm giving you Jewels here.

I’m not beating on Sergio. If you want different results then put up a different sequence. I can't help it if his Stationary Head looks like a Bobber in a Large-mouth Bass fishing competition. I’m sure that he wasn’t posing for this swing (oops, maybe he was) and I’m sure that it was the only sequence of photos taken of him (oops, maybe not). I’m most sure that Sergio has better Swings. As soon as I find one, I’ll use-em.

However, it’s my understanding that this sequence of him Hangs above the Alter you built for him next to your BBQ Grille. So I thought you would enjoy seeing it again.
