Imho, you lose some important frames between A6 and A8, but I guess if you can interpolate and take enough swings, you'll get those frames. A man ahead of his time, Ben Doyle? 10 fps, kids today be all like pffffft! How did you manage? Wonder how much was its retail price back then.

It hurts just seeing this. No way I'm getting into this position. This is like, the anti-GG/David Duval.

Almost everyone in old timey golf pics make it look like it's 50 degrees outside.

This was my first favorite player back when my dad and I were first getting into golf.  He was a really bad example for new golfers. His swing was so chill and hit the ball for some distance. Then my dad and I would go hack the shit out of the local baseball field and think wtf, Freddie makes it look so simple 😂 should have known then I’d be in for a lifetime of frustration. We got started around 1992. You’d think I’d be a lot better by now 😤

    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
