    If you get a chance to watch the current Champion's Tour event, Chien Soon Lu's swing is not unlike Mitchell's action. IMO it is Michell's action. Some of the comments by the commentators about it being a "home made" swing made me smile. I think he shot 62 or thereabouts today.

    Thanks Courty. Not quite Mitchell's hand action through the ball, but Lu isn't swinging hickory shafts. Things to note with this swing is the position of the left thumb at the top of the swing. It is directly behind and under the shaft in line with the target (has moved 90* from the address posaition) which is ultra square. The right elbow moves forward and down following the lead of the lower body. The elbow returning to the body opens the clubface by a few degrees which has to be accounted for after the ball has been struck by the left hand rotating under . Not much different to what Martin teaches.

    It's the squareness of this players body that gives him that hand action....the energy having to go somewhere. I wouldn't say this has anything to do with what I teach because no one I teach ends up facing the ball like that at impact. But I can see why his swing works for him.

    I'd love to know if Lu learnt his swing from Mitchell's book "Essentials of Golf" or was taught about those fundamentals. His upper body action is exactly that described by Mitchell - even the rotation of the arms throgh impact to keep the ball down. Have you read that book Martin?

    This is how Elk is swinging now, looked better when he was working with Martin.

    Actually i picked up on this in a link to your work last night. Went thru a lot of before and afters and took particular note of that Captain Hook? clip. It was astonishing how much clubhead speed was generated and how simple the swing was. Will be trying this tomorrow sometime.

    Reviving an oldie. Looks like Martin was coaching Cameron Beckman at one stage, never understood his winding up of the hands/arms.
