I do not see how he can be a pure hitter with the huge hip rotation. Maybe a 4 barrel swinger with a plane shift.

Open stance - Looks like he holds off the finish - horizontal/angled hinge to produce the fade.

"horizontal/angled", I'm confused.
Do you mean horizontal in Start Up and angled through impact??

To Whom it May Concern,

There seems to be some confusion over J.B.'s swing between this site and Mr. Manzella's.

and I think Mr. Kelly gave us the answer...

phimaynard posted video and a sequence on this site...let's use it to do a 24 component checklist, and see what we got.

Now even with the checklist there could be some debate, but it would be more concrete.

Two more question's for y'all to ponder.

If it's not 12-1-0 or 12-2-0, is it a swit?

What are the incompatiblities in hitting and swinging?
(Hint - Axe Handle vs. Rope Handle. Any others?)

Thanks,

Bagger

I don't know . . . that looks like some Paddle-Wheel motion to me with an angled hinge?

I say Hitter on this one.

My guess is that he is pulling from the top--look how the club shallows-out on the downswing. Then he may switch to a driving (hitting) action once the club reaches the bottom of the pully thru low point, thus a 4 barrel swit. Just a guess. One thing is certain he is a very strong and quick Dude, and compression leakage is not a concern.

After watching the video, I wouldn't peg him as solely hitting. But, anyone would say that there are lots of things to like. From the front view they showed on the broadcast, I'd say again that I LOVE the lack of right wrist cock. Beautiful right forearm flying wedge. The right forearm is in a wonderful position for one starting from standard address. And, at impact, it's fantastic. Does anyone have the front view on video??

Horz. start, angle finish.

They showed a terrific down the line slow motion sequence Holmes split screeen with Daly. I wish I was quicker with the recorder remote.

He may have components of both, but it appears to me he's driving that right side. Just don't see anything that indicates the class (snead, els) swing. Doesn't appear to be a lot of pulling with him.

Then again I'm a relative novice...
