"Snapping the Kinetic Chain" - a new myth for the golf swing.

Good answer. I am not sure I completely understand how to apply Mike Austins move though.
In regards to the guys who explain the kinetic chain. Lets take TPI for instance. You are correct in that it is the flexibility, mobility, stability, and strength in the various segments of the body that allow this snapping to take place. Not an effort of the golfer to do so manually. Some are more gifted physically and some have been trained to just do it better and faster.
The more powerful hitters segments decelerate faster. Again not manually, they just do it. Because they are physically able.
Now you can train your body to be more flexible, mobile, stable, and how to decelerate faster in the gym. Then as a result it will show that you snap it better. But just actually trying to do it probably won't do any good. Better for the golfer to just try to maintain his lag and drag and let that stuff take care of itself.

According to PureHitter's post- you're still caught up in the illusion - mistaken thought, that decelerating causes the club head to speed up. Therefore, if I read your post correctly- you're saying that it is a benefit- "snapping the kinetic chain", that you should not only train to increase your flexibility, mobility, stableness but also learn how to "decelerate faster in the gym". Then you discount everything you've said by finishing with "But just actually trying to do it probably won't do any good. Better for the golfer to just try to maintain his lag and drag and let that stuff take care of itself"

If you find an interest - please clarify- because your post is confusing to me.

I wonder if “snapping the kinetic chain” is the cause of Tigers left knee problems.

One would think that hyper-extension of the knee would be ruled out as a power source, after the 3rd, 4th, or 5th surgery. Maybe someone could mention "Double Anchor" as an option.
