    yes the gravitational force is less at the bottom of the arc, and the club head would start to decelerate right before the ball. However the student needs to add force to get the club head to reach the certain speed needed to hit the ball the proper distance. I think that it is easier to "accelerate" to that speed then it is to "coast". That might be wrong but that's my point. (and I'm trying to think critically about this piece of instruction)

    How does this defy logic? Gravity and momentum are causing the club head to accelerate naturally, Pelz is just saying to keep it accelerating right through impact. Well any "quick tip" can be wrong without the proper context. I would agree that most likely any "quick tip" is pretty useless but this thread is a discussion spicific to poor pitching and leaving it short.

    So you would tell a student "hit it in the middle of this graph because it easier to time"?

    Whats actually happening is not relevant, the point of this piece of instruction is to help someone with their pitching. Golf instruction is not programming a robot.
  5. garybbq
    Yes we definitely could go back and fourth on this. All I am saying is that my pitching has gotten much better when I focus on accelerating right though the ball as Pelz says. (I did not get that from Pelz but another instructor who explained it a slightly different way)
  6. garybbq
    Your graph in the blue area shows acceleration, constant speed and deceleration. I think it would harder when hitting a pitch to time hitting in this area then to accelerate right through the ball and after as Pelz says. If you had a robot swing the club your way might be more consistent but for the average golfer I think its harder and will lead to poor contact.

    I don't agree, since we are talking about pitching and the club head at the top of the backswing is quite high (compared to chipping or putting) the force of gravity it heavily at play. Gravity alone is going to cause the club head to accelerate the entire time until it meets resistance (ball, ground etc.) so I think keeping the club head accelerating is easier then trying to bring it to a constant velocity or max velocity right at or before the ball. In order to do that you would need to exert some force to cancel out the natural forces at play.
  8. garybbq
    yes but this is about pitching......
  9. garybbq
    I'm not quite sure I follow what you mean about "timing acceleration" ? I always thought the club head is accelerating up until it hits the resistance of the ball.

    would you mind posting a link? In addition to TV Fool I also used this site tvworms.com to help with my antenna and also for a guide.
  11. garybbq
    That's too bad, I thought you were pretty clever with the "swing based on science".
  12. garybbq
    Haha yah I remember old Richard Chen, did he ever post or send you his swing like you requested?
  13. garybbq
    Thanks, thanks really interesting. I would also like to know why that is.
  14. garybbq
    Thanks, so when his "hands get deep on the backswing" what does that do to his ball flight? what kind of miss does he get with that?
  15. garybbq
    Thanks Pete, I was just wondering what are the few things Brian is working on before his tournament? Thanks,
  16. garybbq
    Thanks, yah quite the change so far I can defiantly see what you mean about your lower body. Nice work.
  17. garybbq
    Thanks for posting that Pete, just curious if you happen to have any video of when you first started? I would be really interested to see the changes you have made so far as well as when you get further along in the process. it would be interesting to always compare back to your "first" swing. BTW, thanks for updating this thread, I enjoy reading it. Good Luck.

    Although I'm not quite sure about the above statement, I have changed my grip a few times now and have given the grip allot of thought. I don't think its possible to change your grip and keep the same swing, people may think they do it but they simply don't.
  19. garybbq
    Very interesting..... However I'm a bit confused. I get that you are able to square up the clubface no matter what grip you use or in your case draw the ball, but the grip change must change something in your swing? it has to be slightly different? What was the "fault" your instructor was trying to fix with the grip change? Thanks,
  20. garybbq
    Great thread, thanks Pete. I'm just curious you mentioned you "hate grip changes" care to give a bit of detail on what exactly you changed with your grip? what were the results short and long term? Thanks,
  21. garybbq
    Was he ever "very interested" I thought he basically said I'll get in touch with you and never did?
  22. garybbq
    I agree, seems like nothing interesting is ever being said
  23. garybbq
    Seriously? your not watching the US Open because you don't like the condition of the greens?
  24. garybbq
    I still don't see why that is a problem.... Stick it inside a foot
  25. garybbq
    Yes it is ...... The players know the spots they have to land it on, they just miss them ever so slightly and they get punished for it
