They're not. Key #1 and Key #2 are very much related to the lower body.

There's obviously a lot more detail to come, but if you're looking for a LOT to do with the lower body, there simply aren't a whole lot of commonalities among the better players in the lower body. Some players have different footwork, and something like "Good Footwork" isn't really a definable, measurable, achievable key.

Yes as Erik said we're identifying commonalities right now.  Knowing that, on average, a tour player only moves his head 1 inch on the backswing is measurable and definable.  The HOW will be coming and have a lot of detail on lower body motion.

Nope. Early May is the best guess.

Thanks, looking forward to it. Effin' snow should be gone by then too!

I am guessing there will be a list of instructors and their locations posted somewhere when the time is right(GolfEvolution?)?

Yes. Our first class of hand-picked instructors is meeting at the end of April.

But the GE site won't be the place, no. Dave is just one of the two Master Key Instructors, and I'm just the Director of Instructor Accreditation. There will be a 5SK site with more information on other 5SK Accredited Instructors.

Awesome, thanks! Get So Cal on the list asap!

Sorry but this sounds like a fancy 21st century way to say 'Five Lessons' just a little more confusing.

Nothing really new here.

Who said they are trying to reinvent teaching? These keys are not something I've seen a lot in teaching before. Especially the steady head and weight forward, which are the two most important components in ballstriking imo.

You've been reading the wrong books.

[Zeph]

Haven't read a whole lot of books.

What's confusing about the 5SK? Zeph got it right when he said this is "not something I've seen a lot in teaching before".
