Correctly Originally Posted by lagster ///////////////////////////////////// Good one...I think that is Bubba Watson, who plays left handed, so for a right hander swinging like this he would be a right leg pivotal axis player, at least for the driver. I have noticed that some of the long drive guys appear to do this. They tee the ball very high, and stay back on the right leg. More discussion... In this sequence, note that Bubba tees the Ball ahead of Low Point. The result is an Upward Swing Path, less spin and, accordingly, more distance (but also less control due to the 'knuckle ball' effect). The high tee is required because he would 'Top' -- or even swing over -- the Ball if it were pegged lower. __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage!
