Not really sure where to put this but this is a friend of mine I got some video of.
He got a lesson a few weeks ago and this reflects his latest changes based on the instruction he was given.
It might be of interest to a few of us........maybe not.

Here is a sequence with some of my notes. I have to do things like this........well because I am a sick individual. P1 - The big thing is the head is preset to look at the left foot our slightly outside it, more narrow stance from a few months ago, hands pretty much at impact.  P2 - The head and eye tilt have not change at all and may look even further left. Looks more of a right forearm pickup move rather than once piece move and hands work up a little more than previous models.  P3 - looks very traditional here, eye line only now has start to pull back to right and looks at left foot. Very much on plane and rightwards tilted spine.  P4 - less then 90 degree angle at top, head well behind ball, rightward spine, eye line points just inside of ball.  P5 - Lag has increased to what, a 65 degree angle? Just huge additional lag created in the transition move, angle of left arm is almost paralell to ball target line, eye line just behind ball.  P6 - does it getter than that? eyeline at left foot, left arm angle just left of target line.  P7 - throwaway? ;D  P8 - notice the angle of the eye line, how much it comes up, I got a long ways to go here.  P9 - some bend in the left wrist which is prescribed, I think its pretty hard to CP and not have a little.  |

Greg
As you know, I don't reply to very many swing threads (out of ignorance), but your anaysis looks good, and your friend's swing sure looks good to me. Good stuff.

Sort of glad you added that part. I know I am really bad and not a good student, but damn if I kept on thinking that he was a new player I was ready to quit!

This swing represents some of the latest ideas from a very popular well discussed teacher on this forum, thats why I put it up.

Why preset the eyes to look at or beyond the left foot at address?
Couldn't moving the eyes during the swing make for inconsistencies in low point control?

If I am not mistaken this fellow was Denny's student who began working directly with MOG. Is this O'Grady's latest?

it's a beautiful, compact, powerful and efficient swing; and anyone who studies it can certainly see where many of the key elements of the Stack and Tilt teaching originates. I do believe swings in this general ballpark are the wave of the future. compact, efficient and powerful. they have caught my attention; a far cry from the swings of Payne Stewart, Ben Crenshaw -- rhythmic but long and flowing. It's been a big change for me, since I grew up with a long, flowing, almost elegant swing that got lots of oohs and aahs, but no meaningful wins; and lots of uneven ballstriking to boot.
