Mr. Bennett practices, and occasionally gives some lessons near where I live. He is a very impressive ball striker himself. Some of thier info is from TGM and some for MORAD... and some from their research. Tom Scherrer was the most impressive of the students I saw him working with, and they have many.

There are obviously two choices here... Left or Right Leg... there must be a Pivotal Axis for the mechanics to work.

More discussion...

Why are we only getting two choices? My choice is a line that kinda goes out diagonally from the head down throught the spine and out the booty. based on the amount of axis tilt the point it hits the ground out behind me is further up or down plane.. . . that's what I'm trying to comply to anyhow.

Good one...I think that is Bubba Watson, who plays left handed, so for a right hander swinging like this he would be a right leg pivotal axis player, at least for the driver. I have noticed that some of the long drive guys appear to do this. They tee the ball very high, and stay back on the right leg.

More discussion...

Hitting Up On the Driver . . . Correctly

In this sequence, note that Bubba tees the Ball ahead of Low Point. The result is an Upward Swing Path, less spin and, accordingly, more distance (but also less control due to the 'knuckle ball' effect). The high tee is required because he would 'Top' -- or even swing over -- the Ball if it were pegged lower.

Bubbalicious!
Would Bubba also have to tee it up a bit to the inside as well?

I was just joking around with that Bubba Picture. It was the Farthest one I could find from one who Drives with the Right Leg. But, it's still pretty amazing how far he can hit the ball with that pivot. I don't know if that affects the "mechanical advantage" comparison.
