Two items in the September Golf Digest caught my eye.
First, stack and tilt. I had some success applying some of this theory, but my lower back and left knee hurt after a few holes. Looking at the picture on page 129 of the "Tilt" position, I see why. This looks suspiciously like the old Reverse C to me.
Second, Jim Hardy wrote the Breaking 100/90/80 feature. I really liked the one-plane swing theory. Liked it so much that I bought his first book and the DVD. But on page 200 he describes the "One Plane: Magic Starting Move." He says to start the downswing "by letting your right arm drop straight down and your left forearm rotate toward the ground."
WHAT?!
Where did that come from? Don't get me wrong, I know it works--this is how I was able to hit my best shots using the one-plane swing. I just don't recall him ever stating anything remotely like this in the book or the DVD. In fact, I recall him saying that you start the one-plane swing only with the shoulders and hips--your arms are "passive."
Does this strike anyone else as odd?
