If you look at older footage of snead playing here on YT, you will see him doing an almost Dalyesque overswing. As a younger man he tried to kill every single drive and it was really only in his mid to late 30s that he learnt to throttle back. He had a huge swing in his twenties, not unlike a right handed Bubba Watson, not surprisingly another feel player.

[hempster]

he had no idea that what made his swing work was his kinetic sequencing. He started his downswing by replacing the left heel on the ground which started the knee moving towards the target, that's the key! the left knee starting first. Then the hips begin to ROTATE NOT SHIFT, then the left shoulder and arm, then the hands, then the club. He fired his swing like a 5 stage rocket, from the ground up. But Snead fought centrifugal force by returning the club to were it started at address.

@normmccabe Staying anchored to the ground is what I meant , when I said the secret is in the dirt. If you take a nice rythmical swing without exagerated foot movement you game will improve quickly.

@pat52010 if you're hitting the driver shouldn't the secret be in the air?

I took off my golf shoes on the driving range today and practiced with the driver. It is pretty amazing how well I started hitting the ball. Here's my swing thoughts; Rythmn, Relaxation, Balance(keep your feet on the ground)--The Secret is in the dirt!!

Kinda interesting--it's like Goalby is just pushing him like crazy to talk about lower-body motion, feet, etc., when Sam always said the hands and arms were the most important thing about the swing, and the rest (torso, legs, etc.) was critical but in a supporting role (cf. Toski, Flick, et al--even early Kostis). Watch toward the end (4:25) when Sam's trying to get Goalby to understand that the shoes-off drill is intended to keep people from throwing the torso and lower body hard at the ball.
