The premise was that certain body types should/would swing the club in certain ways based upon ones physique. For those of you that are authorized instructors or have more yellow book knowledge than I do (that pretty much includes everybody on this forum!), do you look at a new student and assume they will be a swinger vs hitter based upon their body build?? Just curious. Mr. Kelley gave pretty good guidelines for A.Is to follow. If flexible and/or quick, SWING. If inflexible and/or strong, HIT. Per the Preface: "Hitting and Swinging seem equally efficient. The difference is in the players. If strong -Hit. If quick - Swing. If both - do either. Or both." Per 12-1-0: "...most useful to the stronger players." Per 12-2-0: "...most useful to the more flexible players." I have a student who is flexible and strong, he gets better results swinging. So far, following this rule of thumb, I get pretty good results with my students. __________________ The Singapore Slinger http://justintanggolf.blogspot.com Last edited by comdpa : 02-05-2006 at 01:05 PM. comdpa View Public Profile Send a private message to comdpa Find all posts by comdpa
