Why is Adam Scott not #1 on the world? Oh yeah, he can't putt. Best swing in the bunch.

You don't have to like the guy to admire the swing.

John Rollins swing shows the magic move to start the down swing, for those who have difficulty making a full shoulder turn with a restricted hip turn. It is not so noticable in swings with a tighter coil but it is there.

That woudl be the lateral weight shift before the backswing has finished to add extra load to the arms ?

I see what you are saying !

Yep..its a move which was a feature of Sam Snead's swing and one that Faldo adopted in his swing revamp. Basically the left knee moves away from the right; the right resists, and the left leg is thrust behind. Done at the right time (last squidgen of the backswing), it adds torque and potential power for the downswing. The right leg is then pulled through.

I am with your - but personally, I prefer the way 3oneday does it.

It is just easier.

Wow you can really see how steep Badds is coming into the ball with a driver, no wonder he is giving S&T the coke and sars.

Maybe Badds.com should get a new driver to go with the new swing. Hasn't he been on the original R7 for years? TM crap :mrgreen:

OK, old TM crap.

I have a TM driver, hybrid and putter Jarro. You'll keep.

I'm not sure its the most efficient way of starting the downswing though. For a start it doesn't ensure the weight transfers across to the left foot to make the most of the potential energy stored in the backswing. We have only got the potential energy stored in our backswings to work with, we can only generate kinetic energy (energy of motion) from potential energy. Its when we try to increase kinetic energy above what we have stored, things start to fall apart. All the pros in this thread are swinging at about 80% of the potential energy stored in their backswings.

Check out Nathan Green's swing and how his right foot comes off the ground in the through swing. The right heel points to the left heel. This is something I was taught to do in the 80's, its the result of a right toe thrust to shed all the weight over to the left foot ...good to see it is still around.:)
