I will....I signed up for this deal at PGA Tour Super store that gives me unlimited access to their launch monitor and camera system for practice, you see I am an addict, its like free crack.
It has a really cool feature where you can draw a line, on say the turned shoulder plane, then go address the ball and see the real time image from a face on and DTL view, it has a 1 second or so delay. So it allowed me to play around with a little cause and effect. I moved closer to the ball and played around with taking the club back and all off sudden club was only the slightest bit outside and then just a shade off plane, by far the closest I had come. What followed was the best hitting session ever. I will get some pics this weekend.
I will study the whole shoulder thing as well....oh and with the deal I got a free lesson, that should be entertaining on Wed..I am not mentioning TGM but I wonder how much of the advice will come close to the quality of information at this site!

No coincidence that your shoulder tilt and the amount of respective accumulator lag is way different. As soon as your axis tilt starts to kick in your accumulators are going to "dump" . . . Left shoulder down longer . . . boot on the wall . . . go forward . . . swing arms down faster. Film . . . Film . . . Film.
Nice pic comparison . .. Lots to learn here. Good job.
Can you compare the next two frames with the same three cats?

I tried to make myself the same size for context...you can see I am starting to dump it earlier but I still get to impact in a pretty good position. I love Lee's position, is there any better?

gmb,
Your problems in Zones 2 and 3 (Arms and Hands) are largely the result of problems in Zone 1 (Body/Pivot). Simply stated, you're sliding (with no turn) through impact, big time. Draw a vertical line from Miller's left heel through his left shoulder. Do the same on the photos of Trevino and yourself. Notice how far your left hip is in front of that line. Notice also how both Miller and Trevino are rotating their left hips behind that line.
I've PMed Bambam and asked him to draw the line for us. If anyone on line can get there first, have it!

Trevino's impact positon looks greate face on.
Yoda,
Any idea why the dancing feet / reverse C was so popular in the 70's? It looks kind of flimsy to me compared with modern footwork. But I guess they have to do it because of.... well, that's the part I am wondering about.
Everytime I see this it seems to go hand in hand with longish hair and 70's dress code

Ah BerntR, how much time do you have? This should be a thread of its own with all of the guys who played back then, like myself, posting photos. I even have film, super 8.
Maybe on a dare or something. A fund raiser?
I see some nice footjoys on Miller, are those Etonics on Lee? Remember those beauties? They weighed about twenty pounds each. I never had Etonics but my dad sure did. The Squire was wearing a nice pair when I met him at Marco Island.

Thanks, gmb.
No doubt you see what I'm talking about. There has been little lower body rotation, i.e., your hips have simply slid left with no turn.
Do you know why it's a problem?
