Sounds very interesting...care to share a bit more about individual signatures?
I'm with you on the multiple centers etc. Bucket o' Dead Poultry. How do we monitor balance or is that exclusive to the realm of feel?
When a student first swings on the Dynamic Balance System (DBS) they produce a signature which is actually a tracing type diagram of what their balance (core) did between their base. It shows directional movement - either to the toes or heels as well as any lateral movement. This signature will pretty much be repeated over and over unless they change it as per what they see or what they're told by the instructor. Most of the time they may not be aware of what is causing the imbalance without input from the instructor.
This system is an excellent way to monitor balance because small changes can produce instant feedback. It has a Practice Mode screen that allows the student to hit and then view the diagram for 10 - 15 seconds and then resets for the next swing, in this instance the student can begin to relate what they see to what they feel or vice versa. www.sportsbalance.com
Please send me one of those balance monitors but please send the bill to Mr. Bucket. (please pronounce as bouquet so as not to annoy him).

Mikey . . . I thought you were going to handle this one??? I know there are a lot of strip joints, goat ranches and old folks homes on 1-20 but you have to execute the mission. Mission first . . . perversions second.
A.G. If a strange indvidual shows up at your house in a rubber suit smelling like dandruff shampoo and monkey turds let him in . . . . he is not an Acorn representive. He has a "package" for you.

Mr. Bouquet, I can't help but laugh every time you post! I'm not sure which comedian is writing your jokes but please tell him to start using the funny stuff. Now that was just wrong wasn't it?!
In almost all seriousness, I heard Mikey was looking for investors to build a goat stripping retirement community. Sounds a bit odd to me but what you guys do in your time off is your business
When Mikey does show up I have some "associates" who will be glad to help him.

Thank you for taking the time to share your expertise. In your opinion do you think that a person's signature is simply a starting point, or an indication of innate athletic ability? Can we improve our sense of balance in a general sense? I have found especially gifted athletes to be minimalists in that they do just enough to get the job done, and care little for the positions of style golf. I think there is mental lesson in there somewhere!
Bucket - The primacy of alignment is HUGE. The better the alignments the better the balance? Things like setting your head at impact height...between your feet...right forearm take away eliminates superflous motion. So balance could be defined as the absence of irrelevant motion?
