Check the grip in frame one . . . . suuuuuuuper weak . . . no shaft lean . . . to get any lean at all=bowed/arched left wrist and rolly rolly olly. This is an interesting sequence to me . . . in his heyday befo my time but evidently he took yardages to 1/2 yard he was so good with irons. His release is pretty sweepy . . .but that face is QUIET. Looking at the down the line usually if you see a dude with his hands that low his grip is more turned. Plus this caddy view swing is a pretty lofted iron so you expect to see more shaft lean and a steeper angle of attack. If you bleed yellow and pee yellow you are a "downward" addict . . . there's now doubt down here but how many pills in the down bottle do you take. You'd expect with that "neutral" shaft at address and impact you'd be pretty consistent with your distances. Program in a whole bunch of shaft lean and don't match it through the ball your distances could be more erratic. Too much shaft lean and you're air mailing greens potentially and not enough and you maybe dealing with face pulls.

Centered Head . . . No "Pie" Backstroke
 

And, at the Top in Frame 5, there is zero "pie" (top of spine lean away from target). In fact, examining Frames 3 and 4, it is the lower spine that clearly moves away from the target. Despite all the guru encouragements to the contrary.

Go figure.

How 'bout that! 1-L-1 and you can EAT PIE instead of makin' it! Would love to hear Kostis take a leak on this swing . . . Hey Mo! Meet Ron!

"Humble Pie"

1. Standard Hip Turn
2. Right Anchor
3. Flat Left Foot

Im seeing a little bump or Slide going back........making it a "Hula Hula" not just a "Hula" procedure here. Something I believe Ted Fort employs and teaches.

The pork pie hat is a nice touch, Daryl. :laughing9

That ain't no right anchor ding dong.

10-16-A STANDARD This method involves extremes of action in both directions. That is, Right Knee straight and the Left Knee bent at the Top Position and passing through the double Knee Bend (Sit-Down Position) on the reversed condition of Left Knee straight and Right Knee bent for the Finish. This sequence produces maximum Hip slant at each end of the Stroke.


10-16-B LEFT ANCHOR The action here is identical to –A above (Standard) except that there is no straightening of the Left Knee after passing the Sit Down Position. This method holds the Hips to a flatter turn through Impact and Follow-Through.

10-16-C RIGHT ANCHOR This method is the exact reverse of –B above (LEFT ANCHOR). Here both Knees remain bent until the Sit Down Position is passed. Then the Left Knee begins to straighten. This keeps all pre-Impact motion flat. But the Follow-Through tends to rise quicker with the straightening of the Left Knee.

10-16-D DOUBLE ANCHOR Here both Knees are held at Address Position bend throughout the entire Stroke, producing a very flat Hip Turn.

Wow. No right Anchor in this pic. Standard Pivot only.

Hmmmmmmmmm.......is he Thrusting there? Arched, Hitters TOP, Sweep Release.......I dunno. I used to have those knees, darn it all.

Pics 7&8 illustrate simultaneous Release - Hitting. Pic #10 in the down the line sequence shows his Angled Hinge result.
