Not sure about Iron Byron...but the prime consideration of the movement of the club( shaft/head/face...and hence sweetspot) is the heart of TGM - no doubt.... but the club movement is permitted by the body... interacting though lag pressure.

Nobody argues that a club moving in an unbalanced fashion will NOT cause the body to become unbalanced ...but why not use balance to move the lag pressure... and then see how the club moves... i suspect that it will be moving as Tiger would like...

I found this quote by Yoda on another site...
my underlining and bold and italics...


"As Bobby Jones once wrote, "There is no virtue that cannot be exaggerated into a fault."

Per 7-17, the Address Position loading of the Feet is an even distribution between both Feet but with enough on the heels to allow the toes to be lifted up momentarily without altering the distribution between the toe and heel.

Throughout the remainder of the Stroke, the player's sense of balance and force rules. Per 1-L, "Off-balance force is notoriously erratic. The mechanical device has no balance problem but the human machine does, and mastery of the Pivot (Zone #1) is so essential for good Golf.
"

I feel that an active balance sense is key part of zone 1 training but should not replace primacy of the hands in playing.
