Thanks to John & Rob for the selfless contribution and congrats to John on the new addition.
Several comments / ?? after viewing the slow motion 8,6,Driver. These comments are not derogatory in any sense - looks like a great motion to me.
1. LH Grip appears slightly 'strong' and hands are not mid body, more mid left thigh - definite 'shaft lean' with the irons and a touch with the driver. Could some of this be camera angle?
2. Not to get into the tripod center debate, but JR has a nice 'steady / still ' head, but look positioned at address to be slightly right of middle of stance - again, camera angle?
3. Is JR a hitter or swinger? His late 'roll' to lay the club face on the plane suggests a hitter. Definite HH past the follow thru suggests swinger.
4. I detect a modest amount of float loading at top - notice how wide and away from his body is right elbow is on the face on view thru most of the backswing - then how close is elbow is to his side as he reaches "end". Is the loading action driven by the transition of the hips, or by solely the motion of increasing his right elbow bend?
5. I have a slightly strong LH -similar to JR. At the 2/3 point in the backswing, John has the clubface exactly at the same angle as his spine (slightly closed in current instruction terms). From this postion, he gets the clubface nicely laying on the plane and end. Mine is always still 'closed'. Does John make a concious effort to roll the face onto the plane during the last 1/3 of the backswing, or does it happen naturally?
6. The 8 & 6 move perfectly up the plane, the driver slightly inside / under at start up. Looks to me like John getting to the turned shoulder plane as quickly as possible and then using this plane as close as possible in the downswing.
Thanks again to John and Rob - great stuff. Any and all comments and answers to the above welcome - I can even take some heavy criticism of my comments if warrented.
From what Yoda has written i believe this thread is not for us to analise John's swing.
Obviously most people on here would love to express their opinions on his motion but i am sure Rob Noel is more than capable of determining what works best for John. John's swing may well be a work in motion. Show me a tour player who isn't doing something to their swing. So unless John requests thoughts and opinion on his swing in an open forum then i suggest we refrain from making comments and enjoy the videos for what they are an insight into the practise regime of a PGA tour Pro.
