What do you think of my thoughts as far as Steve Stricker participating in some way in Mr. Kelley's work?
I talked with Steve last month at the Kapalua Golf Academy during the Golf Digest photo shoot. I was specifically interested in his concept of the golf swing and what he was doing to achieve it. In a nutshell, here's what he told me:
1. He is very "left-sided". The left hand and side senses and controls from start to finish.
2. He feels 'turn and roll' of the hands combined with lots of body rotation.
3. He has always "loaded late" -- little wristcock on the way back -- and feels he gets additional wristcock on the downswing. In fact, regarding the loading action, he said that he has "always done it incorrectly". To which I replied, "Uh, no, Steve. The money stats don't lie!"
There was zero mention of TGM, by either him or me.
