Obviously. never denied that, during the swinging of the club there will obviously be a point of low pressure on the ground, next time don't take it to the point of leaving your feet, it's not a very good exaggeration.

I should have never used the word jump or leaving your feet. The better way to describe it is ground pressures. If you've ever seen the data on ground pressures there is usually a point right after impact where there is very little pressure on the ground. Energy is stored downward, then released upward, just like hitting in hockey and football.

it leaves them both susceptible to an injury, thats just another reason for it to be against the rules. and btw, the day i see a half decent golfer leave his feet with their momentum on a drive is the day k kill myself. seriously though, it doesnt happen unless you dont know how to drive properly.

[craapula]

A golfers momentum can lift them off their feet. A powerful swing is started from the ground up, just like a powerful hit in hockey. I was under the impression that leaving your feet through a hit was charging, but maybe charging is ONLY leaving your feet BEFORE a hit... so I may not understand that rule fully. I can tell say that leaving your feet before contact leaves you more susceptible to injury, if that other player gets low, the player off their feet will get destroyed.

[FROSTlTUTE]

First of all, jumping BEFORE the hit is much more dangerous because it causes all the contact to be up high, mostly towards the face. Second of all, no golfer who knew their way into a hole would EVER jump when driving.

[craapula]

Who would leave there feet before impact? Sounds like a good way to hurt yourself. Get low and jump through impact will result in a larger hit. Goflers use this to hit farther, watch some long drive guys, they jump through impact.

Fleury is not half the Goaltender you seem to think he is. Dude's leakier than Bryz.
