Subject: Re: Do Optimum Mechanics Produce Optimal Results?

I am coming to just the opposite conclusion, in that optimum swing mechanics are everything, when it comes to golf.

For example, in single axis golf, I believe that the up and under hit is fundamental to the concept, and there might be better ways to get into that position, than currently being taught. Even though I don't use the system, logically, Lever Golf seems more appropriate to hit up and under, with a single axis grip.

Another example is, "pushing". Joe Norwood's concepts are pure, as regards to pushing. It's not that a person has to do things as Joe says to do, but you should understand the basic principles of pushing the golf club, the optimum swing mechanics. There are no degrees in pushing; you are either on or off; pushing or not.

However, in pulling, you are always in shades of black and white; always in the grey areas, because there are degrees of pulling. Each degree of pulling really has its own set of optimum swing mechanics.

So, whether pushing, or, pulling, I would make the argument that optimal swing mechanics are everything, and the reason that most people don't succeed is that there swing is on the edge of those swing mechanics, the mechanics that make the swing work.

To me the best analysis of a swing is to video tape the so called "natural" swing of the golfer, and, then, to have enough golf knowledge to tweak that swing to optimum swing mechanics.

Interesting post.
