No one here said JS is Biomechanically efficient? Don't know where you got that from? I would, as Bio recommends, go for the actions of Hogan any day of the week, I want to hit fairways and greens, not the end of a footy pitch.
To what end you ask? Less injury risk. More efficiency, not just power. Some seem to think Biomechanics is about just hitting harder, this is not so. It is about efficient use of body movement, this may well result in more power. It's about creating a repeatable swing that compresses the ball so that distance control is better, not just distance. Accuracy improves as the regularity of the swing improves. Consistency is built through this training and that leads to better accuracy.
It seems there is much being read into this that has not been stated, this is not about the LD guys.

Hold on though . . . Y'all may not have said it . . . but I'm saying it . . . I'M SAYING HE'S EFFICIENT FOR THE TASK AT HAND . . . Hit it really far. So that came out of my world not y'all's . . . to me anyway the question then becomes . . . if these cats hit the ball far and we can just discount what they are doing whacky with their arms (which is a piece of it for them) . . . what are they doing with their pivot?
If there was a way to look at Hogan's pivot and JS's pivot . . . you'd see some definite similarities . . .

I see the similarities between JS and a young John Daly (JD).
JD should have had a lot more victories if he was able to control his lifestyle.

Driver pivot ain't necessarily just about physics . . . also about pivoting in fashion to achieve the required launch conditions to hit far via angle of attack, angle of approach and how fast you "get it outta the ground".
David, Brian Gay has worked with these guys and been measured many times I believe(?). Bio said earlier in the thread that Brian worked with them for many years before LB, he has both helped and been helped by biomechanics it would seem. Don't know about Huff and Fort. I'm sure Yoda would be into the ideas found in at least Bio's approach to biomechanics (as has been stated there are many suspect approaches out there). It doesn't go against any of his (excellent) teachings, only adds to them. Worth reading Bio's recent post on the swing-pattern thread.
You are right about the longevity of some too, so many injuries from movement patterns, you still can play great golf like that but the cost is in pain.

The TPI web site has lots of information on the evaluation and recommended exercises. Using this as a base and googling some of the terms I came up with most of what I wanted. I have worked with PT's for cervical stenosis with neuropathy, lumbar stenosis with neuropathy and with proper exercises avoided surgery. These were were not related to any of my golfing endeavors. Doing fitness exercises, practicing and playing is diffcult for my body and my associated arthritis. However i have resumed working with a fitness trainer and she is tuned in already to many of these. I would add that Bio mentions evaluation to determine one's specific needs. I would add that I think everyone should have a diagnostic PT exam. A good PT can pin point areas of weakness even in those that work out a lot. Most folks have some assymetrical issues going on. I had compensatory muscles doing things my hip knee and abs should have been doing. So I think biomechanics is very valid. I would like to see it integrated into TGM so that more intelligent choices can be made about certain patterns. So far my experience with Lynn has not conflicted with my PT's advise about avoidance of further injury and so far I have no recurrence
How about a straight line delivery exercise, a catch the dog by the tail exercise, left forearm takeaway exercise perhaps with a medicine ball, stretch bands. I could see perhaps a startdown, sit down drill with a belt around the waist(hips) attached to exercise bands and another one attached from the hands to the ceiling etc. How about a Wi Fit program that measures the weight shift during the backswing and integrating it into the Wi golf game to show length of drives etc.
