The recent "lifetime TGM" thread had interesting debate from post 74 ish about bobbing and Tiger...
A recent thread on another site got me thinking about Hogan's head position.
See this video...
He has alot of extra waist bend - achieved in backswing and maintains it really well through downswing. It is less a "head bob" and more a "whole body concertina".
Someone else posted an exert from John Schlee's "Maximum Golf" (thanks Lake) which is....
'When Ben and I were working together, he said to me, "Show me how you would like to be at impact. After I got into my impact position, he said, "Starting from that position, hit a shot." I had a 5-iron in my hands and, to my amazement, I nailed it. He then said, "Do it again." I nailed it a second time. Then three more times. A total of five perfect 5-irons. I asked, "Why does it work so well?" He replied, "Because you have put your entire body in a position it can identify by feel and then return to that position at impact. Your muscles remembered exactly where they were." '
It seems he is describing impact fix beautifully.
See in the video , especially the swings when he was younger, how really bent over he gets....that "shooting stick" or "sports spectator stick" , which he uses as a visual guide in "Modern Fundamentals" for posture, would be shoved even further into the ground!
If you set up this bent over... with mid body hands....do your hands have to be really low?? That is the way it seems to me. No problem at impact because the shaft leans forward...but at impact fix...my arms and clubhead feel so long (if extensor action applied)....not much space between that left shoulder and the ball...unless the hands drop down low.
The alternative is to get the arms bent at adjusted address, really relaxed and no extensor action...
