  1. Sunday at hole number two (par five), Jordan Spieth used more than three minutes (!!) to prepare and read his putt before hitting the ball ........
  2. Here is a link to a thorough description and discussion of Spieth's grip, http://golf-info-guide.com/golf-grip/jordan-spieth-grip/ ---- "Unlike many golf phenoms, this precocious Texan doesn’t boast textbook form. In fact, “unorthodox” would be a kind way of describing Jordan Spieth's grip. Practically all accomplished golfers, from pros to the club level, match their left and right hands on the handle. In other words, the palms face each other directly regardless of their position (neutral, weak or strong). Not Spieth’s. His left hand is in a relatively weak position, or rotated toward the target, while his right is somewhat strong, or rotated away from the target. This causes Spieth’s left arm to bend slightly while his left wrist bows outward at the top of the backswing. It’s neither conventional nor pretty, but it certainly works. Still, many observers believe Jordan Spieth will have to alter his grip at some point to ensure long-term success." ---- In the Stack and Tilt book on page 52, it says : "The right hand grips with the fingers and covers the left thumb".
  3. Why is his left thumb visible in the picture???
  4. Thanks for answering my questions! I will consider to sign up with evolvr.
  5. Thanks a lot for showing me this video, but it is hard for me to move the left knee forward as much as the man in the clip. With my feet flared outwards like that (> 45°..?) it is almost impossible. Is it not easier to perform the "jumping up" move if at least one foot is perpendicular to the target line, as stated in Hogans five lessons ..? I can understand the importance of weight forward and right wrist bend for low point control, but what is the effect of "right elbow location" ..?
  6. Have for three years tried to learn the S and T swing, but with very little success. My problem is that I have tinkered so much with every move and position etc that I can´t find a way back to my old swing. The old swing was not better, though, and this leaves me in a kind of "no mans land" right now. Some unsorted questions: To me the result of the swing seems to rely very much on the timing of the bend in the left knee. The "crush the can move" has to be timed very exact to avoid fat or thin shots. When, how much, and at which part of the S&T; sequence should this be done …? The "flying wedge drill" movie by Iacas seems to put a very large stress on the left knee. Is this really healthy …? Would you recommend this drill to a guy who has had several knee injuries (T.Woods for instance) …? In the movie "flying wedge drill" by Nick Clearwater, he straightens his left knee and "tucks the butt" after he has hit the ball. Kind of the old school rolling of the right hand over the left in the follow-through ….or? My S&T; shots go shorter and lower, ..why? Uneven lies is very scary with my S&T.; Doing the move "formerly known as leaning left" on an uphill lie makes me dig in deep and fat, on a downhill lie it almost feels like falling to the ground. I have not been able to find any instruction on how to treat uneven lies with S&T;, maybe some one here knows, or..? It would be very interesting to watch a S&T; shot performed on a real golf course from an uneven lie.
  7. To me its the "fourth move" : (never mentioned in the S&T; book...??), the bending of the left knee (RH players), that I find very difficult to time. Since the "standing up" move is done by straightening both legs, The move "formerly known as tilting left" is done together with a bending in the left knee, or ...?? This is also why i have had no success in 3 years trying to learn the S&T; swing. The timing, the low point, the ball striking etc is controlled by the left knee, not by the hands, or...??
