His core argument is based on multiple firings - the idea that one should reactivate the hip turn again in the late downswing.

This is what he wrote-: "In a biomechanical graph, this means that Tiger has two velocity peaks for his hips and shoulders. His second hip velocity peak occurs just prior to impact and this "slingshots" his shoulders (2nd firing) into the ball with maximum force."

He is arguing that a second hip velocity peak will "slingshot" the shoulders into the ball with maximum force. Do you buy that argument? Do you believe that slinging your right shoulder into the ball with maximum force (as a second firing) will increase ball speed? If you do, please explain the mechanics.

Not sure about all the bursting stuff . . . . I just think the segments in the pivot go from flexion to extension . . . . it's like full lever extension of the pivot . . . extending the segments from the feet all the way through . . . extending the entire radius. Tiger blew out his knee from over-rotation not extension. Sure the shoulders rotate but I think the speed is from the fast arms and the extension . . . .

A lot of this has to do with the sequence with which this happens . . . You can get a transition like Hogan/Sergio but you can't just let the pivot pin the left arm and have it drag it over or under plane . . . .it has to go FAST to stay on the plane. The hands have to go down plane FAST. #4 releasing . ..
