No 'Lawnmower Pullers' Here

Neither V.J. nor I teach the Right Forearm Takeaway as a 'lawnmower pull'. That move has been well-publicized over the past few years by Jim Hardy in his 'One Plane / Two Plane' books and DVDs. Jim had just presented a two-day PGA educational seminar at V.J.'s home club, Old Waverly Golf Club, in West Point, Mississippi. V.J.'s one-sentence comment on our DVD -- delivered with a big smile and demo -- was a stream-of-consciousness reference to Jim's presentation.
