  1. I never saw "how it applies to everyone" used in referencing his swing but did see Jim's reference to our body limitations & structure. That would seemingly apply to nearly all. Still, in the way Jim used his reference it made sense. And if you think the swing that is taught by most teaching pros doesn't have built in limitations for most, then we should all be scratch golfers.
  2. Kapalua, plantation course 18th...636 from Championship but 677 from the tour tees. The second shot on 17 and 18 are much harder than they look on television. They are both on downhill lies. On 18 you have the option to play to the right more but 17 for a regular golfer has a long approach from a downhill lie that has to fly over a ravine...all the way in the air. 17 is 513 and 550 from Champ. or tour tees.
  3. I have been swinging a club for over 4 decades and tried all sorts of methods. Many have worked well for a while. That's not to say they would not be good in the long run just that I was unable to sustain the changes and eventually fell pray to what felt right! Swing harder! I have read many here talk about Jim's method eliminating the ability to hit it long. Talking about how removing the shoulder and hip turn would affect club head speed/distance. A favorite of one is putting a "ceiling" on what we could achieve. Well many things put a ceiling on what we could achieve. Like limited practice time. We are not all pros and do not all have the athletic ability of Rory...comparisons to him for the sake of this conversation are not fair or even logical. There is another teaching pro here contradicting most of Jim's method. So if I go with him I will play like Rory? Jim's method allows more people to find the "sweet spot" with a proper path more often...simple as that! If you want to claim distance has nothing to do with path and sweet spot you are mistaken. If you think a big turn is the only way to distance watch some of the trick shots taken from chairs or on someone's knees. I haven't tried Jim's method but I can see some logic in it. Will it make you out drive Rory? Probably not but neither will lessons from anyone here. Will it lead to lower scores? Perhaps, I am willing to try!
