Of course I can but you should know this and not be asking.

I have already told you,you are too hostile for a rational exchange of views.

I tell you one thing ,Sergio never would have conceded that putt in Ryder cup play.Seve must have rolled over in his grave.C'mon Segio,this is p-r-o-f-e-s-s-i-o-n-a-l golf, stop trying to be popular and perform like a pro.

Quote: Every golfer is a feel player. It's the only capacity we have to change the golf swing or produce the desired mechanics. We aren't built with springs, dials, knobs, meters, and so on. Feel is all we've got. When pros put the club in their hands they know when it feels right because they have been doing it from a young age and can relate that feel to results.What they don't know is why the correct feel works and the incorrect doesn't.On this count handicappers have no chance at all since they rarely get the right grip feel from the get go.If they do get that correct feel and suddenly lose it,they start looking for answers in all the wrong places.

Grip pressure is too broad a description since different fingers/thumbs can exert pressure just by being place incorrectly.If you are holding the club correctly you can squeeze the hell out of it .You need to squeeze the club at times when trying to firm up the wrists which are the culprits especially in the short game.

Sergio concedes a 17 footer to Ricky

Guilty...just don't block Duck Dynasty from our TV screens.

Thanks partner....Uncle Sam is a tough neighbor to hang with.

That Canadian team is a machine,I have never seen anything like it.

You just made my point about the focus being on me.

obviously a good player...the wedge swings are much too long with your weight not remaining on the left side throughout.I don't know if you are on your heels at address but if you are,that may be ok.The swing in general may need a bit of shortening.

I don't give instruction,mainly because it's not desired by admin but also because it becomes the focus of attention rather than the OP and his swing,being you in this case.

I'm all ears. Ernie ....you ignored me as you point out yet now ask me to expound ......which do you want?

Ernie...please read the 5 keys....I posted my thoughts re adjusting your swing on your thread,I got no response,I assumed you didn't care,why would I continue with you? I asked the OP about hooking problems and he said he had them as his swing would suggest.

please see http://thesandtrap.com/t/61376/5sk-video-thread

We still have Matt Kuchar...is he up to anything different?

Yes I suspected that would be an issue.

big divots...what about hooks,any problem there?

cipher ...I cannot respect anyone who agrees with me....sorry.

I simply noted uno6518 needs to check his fundamentals.I assume the membership understands what is meant by fundamentals.

iacas...you have stated you don't want instruction from me but observations seem to be acceptable.That is what I have stuck to.

billchao....I merely stated my impressions of many swings on this thread.....I did not say they were fundamentals,they are the result of fundamental flaws.There are many many pro swings that are not classic yet work,the complexities of these swings could fill volumes,the idea is to simplify things ,not take exceptions and use them as the standard model.

The wrist "cock" is an interesting point,it's something I have experimented with and remain somewhat undecided on.The main drawback is what you correctly note , timing.Generally I don't like doing anything in the swing that has to be done consciously, ie: grooved ,especially a timing issue,that is subject to all kinds of mental stresses.

A common theme with many of the swings here on "my swing" are a shut face at the top,an appearance that the shoulders are leading the swing and unusual foot work not giving the target leaning bias needed from address.Sorry but I see all this in you.I believe you have some fundamentals that need checking.
