Hi JH , I really look forward to your videos, please keep them coming, my
game has really improved using your advice, you make the swing so
understandable and less complicated, thanks for taking the time to help
+robert finney Hi Robert,
Glad the videos are helping you with your swing/game, my approach as I have
said before is just to make available lots of different ways to swing a
golf club and think about the swing, there are just so many ways to get a
result for ‘yourself’ by trying something different, as well its just a
whole lot of fun trying different stuff , I never get bored doing that.
cheers Jh
+1atomicgolf Hey Mike,
I checked out that video, I have seen it before, what you can see in the
video that is very interesting for people that think Moe drove the club
head down the line way longer than anyone else ever has is the part of the
video shot from the roof directly above , clearly it is evident that he
released the club head left and circular as do all great ball strikers, you
can never deliberately drive the club head against the natural radius of
the Golf Swing because the lead arm will separate from the upper torso and
not rotate naturally.
Moe ‘felt’ like he did a lot of things which he clearly didn’t do, as have
just about every great player in the history of the game.. Harry Vardon
said he threw the club head first as the start of his downswing to widen
his arc, in old movie footage he is shown to be lagging the club head
significantly, Jack Nicklaus said he felt the same as Vardon, but like
Vardon he clearly lagged the club head , so for just about everyone ..’Feel
Is never real’ in the Golf Swing…for me in particular.

+1atomicgolf Very common statement about Moe Norman,, lets clear it up
right now, Moe Norman could not tell anyone what he did in his swing, I
believe it is true of Ben Hogan also no matter what Moe or Ben said was, as
you say, what they felt and sometimes, but not all the time videos of their
swings show something completely different..It more then likely Moe just
could not tell you exactly what he did and Ben Hogan, I and others believe,
did not want to tell you what he was really doing…both these guys were
major range rats and dug their games out of the dirt so to say…
+Mark Sherer Hi Mark,
I actually play all my fairway bunker shots like that, when I say ‘all’ I
don’t get in many fairway bunkers but when I do I use this swing process,
the one thing you want in a fairway bunker is super stability for the
strike because you want all the distance you can get if you have a decent
lie.
The only modification I make is to play the ball a bit further back in my
stance so as to guarantee I hit the ball absolutely clean with no chance of
a fat shot.
You know sometimes I take maybe 50 balls into a flat bunker and hit them
out with a 4 iron , its a great practice drill for testing your stability
at impact.
cheers JH

JH, check out “Tour Striiker”channel for a 1 hour plus Moe Norman driving
range session that was recorded by Martin Chuck. Very interesting.
+Aussie Mike Thanks for that Mike,

if your lucky enough to have access to a fairly flat fairway bunker, hit a
bucket of balls with nthis swing you will,gey it
