Yoda,
Bobby Shave (channelling Mehlhorn) doesn't stress extensor action much. As such, he recommends a very soft left arm position at the top without wrist cock. Maybe he just relies on downswing loading.
Extract the principles of the Mehlhorn text -- Body Rotation (Zone 1 / the Pivot and Balance); Free Arm Swing (Zone 2 / Power and Clubhead Force); and the Vertical Left Wrist and 'Direct Line' (Zone 3 / Closing Only Clubface and Plane). Also, embrace Wild Bill's thoughts on ball control and course management.
As always, avoid extremes and 'ungolf-like' motions.
Finally, get the Mehlhorn DVDs and emulate what you see. Also, note his exceptional emphasis on the Right Forearm and its participation in the Stroke. Unfortunately, that emphasis was captured only by 'The Man' himself. It is absent in the transcriptions of his taped conversations that form the text of the book.
With all due respect to Yoda and all others who have attempted to pen the movement of the golf swing ,there is "THE GUY' who has the greatest book EVER--------------------------------and as of now it is in his head and will Never be publised for $39 or any other price ----------- for the
same reason you would not sell your child.
Maybe if Lynn had not been scared off by Tomesello in 83 (and lost 20 years)and changed his focas from GOLF to makeing money then things would be different.
Homer and MAC without concern for EGO , POWER or MONEY wanted to answer one simple question
HOW DO YOU HIT A GOLF BALL

Never happened, Denny. In fact, Tommy was a non-event in my golf operations. He moved from Georgia to South Carolina in 1982, and I never saw or talked to him again.
Also, I didn't cease business until the summer of 1984, more than a year after Homer Kelley died.
Better check your facts . . . Somebody's been feeding you some very bad information!

HOW DO YOU HIT A GOLF BALL
Denny-- please correct me if I am wrong, but I assume "THE GUY" you are referring to is Mac O'Grady. His website (again, I ASSUME is it his) indicates that, at least as of 2005, that he would be publishing his research. Could you offer any further insights? Thanks!
This is the link to the website I am referring to above:
Trying to find the out-of-print book "Golf" by Bob MacDonald. Found a few books co-authored by a Bob MacDonald but published in the 60's. Not sure if this is the same guy.

I've ordered (and received) those books. Not only is it not the 'same guy', there is noBob MacDonald at all in those books!
Caveat Emptor!
P.S. There were several copies available on various sites when I first posted on the book a couple of years ago. I named names. Almost immediately the price went from under $100 to in excess of $300. Then, the supply disappeared. 'Ol Yoda learned a lesson on that one!

I know someone who talks with Mac every now and then. And Mac told him he won't publish anything unless it is perfect then he said nothing in golf is ever perfect. Not sure what exactly that means but it sounds like he won't be publishing it.
