In general, the slicker the presentation, the more reason not to trust it.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

This video is an absolute joke. he has terrible camera angles that can really help manipulate his "findings". He also talks about starting the swing with his knees, something tiger simply cannot due anymore as proven by why he took a year off from playing to have surgery. To say that his golfer averages 350 off the tee and piped on 375 down the middle of a tight fairway....this guy is full of it. How come we don't see "his golfer" on tv, he would be dominating the driving categories, The cheesy sound and visual effects take away all credibility as well. This guy is a clown.

A pile of steaming propaganda to push an agenda.  "Oh, look, with my feet 3' apart, my hips wiggly-wiggly all over.  Spread them out another 1' and suddenly, I could stop a Chevy."

Nothing in the swing is done at the expense of balance.

The video offers some interesting theories, but it's all very difficult to prove.  And the video's author doesn't offer any citations or proof on issues with some of the past golfers, like Sam Snead.  It's true Snead had the yips, but from Snead's books he only mentions that problem with his putting.

SomaxSports should also disclose in their video that they offer an expensive MicroFiber Reduction program

From their website at http://www.somaxsports.com/

Microfiber Reduction (MR) is available only at Somax .

The fee for Microfiber Reduction is $350 an hour at our headquarters in Tiburon, CA, as part of our flexibility and videoanalysis program. We recommend you start with a three-hour evaluation.  Minimum program is 30 hours.

Perhaps there's some merit to their assertions, but they should indicate in the video they are selling a service.

2011 Goals:
* Improve club-head speed to 90 mph with the driver
* Ensure increased speed does not compromise accuracy
* Prevent overextending on the back-swing (left-arm is bending too much at the top)
* Relax arms initially at address ( too tense)* Play more full rounds (failed from 2010)

Isn't that obvious, even to the people who aren't complete cynics?

I don't know a tremendous amount about the golf swing, compared to some here I probably know very little.  I know enough that I couldn't get past the 2:00 mark in that video.  Bleargh.

What a ridiculous video.

There isn't much more to add after seeing everyone's comments but I will say this which is slightly off topic.........I was happy to notice was how far forward Arnold Palmer's weight was at the top of his swing when they showed his clip!  What a great clip that was and is added proof to the critics that S&T; isn't a foreign way of swinging a golf club!

What gives the guy credility is the vintage bubble shaft driver with toe dummy mark. My initial reaction was anger mixed with laughter. Erik is right, Tiger is more like a smallish speedy wide reciever.

Someone contact the Gregory Brothers.  This needs to be auto-tuned immediately.  *Hint*  More looping with Tiger, Shakira and the Motorcycle guy.  Thank you.

All those exercises create microfibers.  The only way to prevent them is by the machine.  Otherwise you will develop the yips.  Conclusion:  hip machine prevents putting yips.  End of story.

      Sad tale.  Both the A's and Raiders.  IMO, cities shouldn't be building stadiums for MLB/NFL teams.  But that's the world we live in.   DAY 3:  30-min range session with irons and wedges.  Working on follow thru -- no hooks! 🙂

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By saevel25 ·

      Backswing: Body is responsible for taking the club around. Arms are responsible for making the club go up.  Downswing: The process is reversed. Weight Forward So, your arms need to do stuff. Set up to the ball. Do not raise your arms at all. Rotate your body as you would in the swing. You will notice your hands stay down near your right hip. So, how does the club get up? Your arms raise it up. You can't take your arms out of the swing. What you are describing might be more of a feel, but it also might not be correct.

      It depends on what you mean by "while the core remains still" I wouldn't consider his core "remaining still" here, DJ's abs, belly button, and belt buckle have rotated almost 90 degrees by the top of the backswing. Those components of his core then have to rotate/uncoil on the downswing. Far from remaining still IMO.

      It’s going to change but your basic setup feel should be about the same. Your body kind of adjusts to length and lie angle of the club. You’ll want to pay attention more to ball position as you change clubs more than how bent over you are. I understood what you meant from what your wrote.

      Oh I probably was thinking the wrong thing or the wrong way when I typed the golf swing was more of a body swing (in my mind).  The in my mind part probably should have said in my opinion or based on what I have read.  Just meant the body needs to be involved more than the hands and swinging the arms while the core remains still.
