Morrison was well ahead of his time. There is a lot of merit to his perspectives. An excellent way to learn clubHEAD control and a true swingers PP#4. Not the best for clubFACE control longer term though.
Yup totally agree.
I like this bit here

After you have gone through this motion a few times you will become aware that the main force propelling the cane comes, not from the arm itself, but from the twisting of your body; that this force seems to “flow” from your lower back as you unwind, being transmitted through the muscles around your left shoulder, through your arm and hand to the weapon.
I just love this statement - Its the pivot (zone 1) and its pressure against the left arm (pp4) that throws the lagging left arm into impact and is not left arm power....
I think these guys from days of old actually knew the stuff better than some of todays teachers....
The book that Yoda refers to is "Better Golf Without Practice" (1940). It is a book strictly for Swingers and is to be read in your favorite armchair as you contemplate Mr. Morrison's well written, illustrated and photographed pages, a must read, rich with TGM info .
BTW, Morrison advocates having the left thumb on the club similar to holding a baseball bat...

Morrison didn't want any pressure exerted against the shaft by either thumb. He and Gene Sarazen interlocked like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger. Sarazen in describing the "interlocking grip" in Thirty Years of Championship Golf, said the left thumb wraps around "the inside" of the shaft although some have said that his hung off the shaft.
Johnny Revolta who beat Tommy Armour in the 1935 PGA, describes two versions of the interlocking grip in Short Cuts to Better Golf: left thumb inside the right hand and left thumb outside the right or like Sarazen and Morrison. He claims Claude Harmon used the thumb outside in his 1948 Masters win.
