So explain how Jim is wrong?

[wdefrancesco]

@Rhysapi Hardy: "Hogan did have a secret, and it was that instead...of shoving his right elbow down and forward...he dropped his right forearm and released or rotated his forearm and club early in the downswing". That's a quote from his book. Every video shows that what Hardy thinks he saw in the Hogan's Mystique pictures does not happen. Hogan never moved his right arm like Hardy says. It is the same right arm action, from the 30's to the 70's. It moves in front of the body, not behind it.

If you actually too time tp spend time with jim and chris you would realise that they dont teach a method they teach impact and ball flight, if you correct ball flight you can play golf. you obviously dont understand things! before you voice your oppinins go spend some time with them, the info would blow you out of the water.

[wdefrancesco]

@Rhysapi What I know is that Hardy bases his theory of right arm movement on what he thought Ben Hogan did sometime after the mid fifties. He is wrong. Every single video of Hogan shows the same right arm action, and it is the opposite of what Hardy teaches. He can teach whatever he wants, but if he is going to claim it comes from Hogan I will disagree strongly. And by the way, who doesn't teach impact and ball flight? That's like saying you teach putting so the ball goes in the hole.

4:35 it's the only player you've seen that far under the shaft planej? gee whiz what about tom pernice, jr. and peter jacobson? only Harmon could rival that stable of players!

[wdefrancesco]

@MrSteckleinjr Pernice and Jacobsen have takeaways that are wholly unlike Kuchar's. For that matter, if you look at those three swings and didn't know they were "one-planers" you would never guess that they were working on the same ideas. Just shows that the idea of "one plane" is so vague that it can be used to describe just about any type of swing. Part of Hardy's sales genius.

@wdefrancesco well as always your analys is one of the best on youtube... and the things you say is pretty much true. And I notice that you have the listen to Jim's one plane swing. I myself are using the one plane swing and I can hit the ball very good. The diffresen between me and Matt is that I'm much shorter than Matt. He would need to bend over more to be in the "zone". And then it is a little excessive back swing but you can see homemarks of a one plane. Just saying, anyway good analys :)

@wdefrancesco yah, a fellow golf professional and i were perusing Hardy's plane truth vids, then re-watched your assessment of Kuchar. when you said 'epileptic' i almost spit my coffee out we were laughing so hard! Hardy knows the golf swing, i would simply argue (to him) there's many ways to get to the mall!

@flowerdrop1, where have you been? Under a rock? This guy has been playing better golf the last two years than almost anyone else on tour. He's now ranked seven in the world. The best swing is the one that works best. Sheesh.
