Initially, yes!  I absolutely love discussion. I have certified over 1,000 golf instructors and because of that, I've been asked thousands of questions that I've had to deal with in the last few decades. But, I believe in this case, it would be better to leave this site to iacas.  It is his site and he seems to know how he wants it done.  I will respectfully bow out and wish everybody the best.

I like to hear different perspectives, and there's no need to bow out. Discussions seem to be a good method of learning new things for people on the side line. It gives people like me different perspectives of how people "feel" and "describe" those feelings in the golf swing.

So, if this discussion is really about "loading, storing and releasing" energy in a swing, it seems like that should be the topic as opposed to who had more students and such?

On the topic, I feel like that kind of thinking could be somewhat counterproductive if taken literally? It seems like you are condoning people to coil up until they feel like they are at the end of a "spring" type of motion then releasing? The feel for me is totally different than what you describe, so that kind of peaks my curiosity?

    • ^ right here. A short game pitching motion is not the same as a full swing in feel nor intent. It’s just not a mini-swing at all. Now if the instructor said to make slow full swings with a 6i and try to hit them only 100 yards, that would be more in line with what I view full swing instruction to be.
    • How does he fit for clubs with that setup?  I get this to an extent, but plenty of players have slightly different patterns with different clubs throughout their bag, but using that logic why not start with 3 foot putts or 5yd chip shots? I have quite different feels for a 20-40yd pitch shot than I do for a 140yd shot. Loft presentation at setup and impact, ground contact, weight transfer (or lackthereof), etc are all different on a 20-40yd shot vs a full iron shot.  If you enjoyed the lesson and found value in it that's great, personally I'd be a bit annoyed if I went in and wanted to work on full swing stuff and this guy has me doing 20-40yd pitch shots for an hour with my lob wedge.
