Jay is a PGA professional, who happens to be on the PGA's national teaching committee. He is considered "golf's funnyman", and if you understand his creativity in using a hammer as a prop; then you can see he is talking about "ball position".

@sweep1609 "I was an engineer for many years" That is great, but what does that fact have to do with golf? Engineering may explain a golf swing but it doesn't make a golf swing.
Engineering has very litle to do with executing a sound golf swing. In fact, I have *never* heard any profesional golfer or teacher talk about engineering when instructing golf.
Enjoyed your reading your thoughts on engineering but the theory behind the hammer swing is not sound. This guys is a hack.

ACTUALLY, this analysis is PURE insight, and a perfect logical approach to swinging a golf club. The reason you guys never break 80 is because you bash what THIS guy is telling you. hahah but it's true.

@16penney Thanks for your reply and I can understand your missgivings. But keeping your head quiet and releasing your lag through the target are the same for both. I think a bag of nails and a good hammer might teach us all sound mechanics.
Try a 7lbs hammer on a long shaft, master that and its cheaper.
Enjoyed your passion but just think about it.

@sweep1609 Of course there is good mechanical theory in this lesson, but it only applies to those of us who actually know how to use a hammer correctly in the first place! Most viewers probably can't pound a six penneny nail without hitting there thumb or bending or shanking a few nails or leaving a godzillion pecker tracks. So this information is just more confusion to them.

I was an engineer for many years, and have swung hammers of many lengths and weights, many thousands of times and was taught to hit straight through the object.
I see good sense, and sound mechanical theory in the hammer swing.

I asked the hammer & the nail & they both just looked at me like I was a dumb ass

@mrodock This has got to be a JOKE. This is freak-show golf lessons.
This is a joke, right?

There is a big differance between swinging a 16 inch framing hammer and a 40 plus inch golf club.
