I wonder if he wouldn't stutter less if he got into a position at the top that supported what he tries to do in the downswing. I sense conflicting alignments. I bet he has a hitter inside bursting to get out.

PS: A famous former Swedish ski jumper - Jan Bokloew - was stuttering. During one interview on TV the stuttering was brought up and he told the program host that he never stuttered when he sang. So they did the rest of the interview singing. It was amazing and also a heart warm interview.

Mel Tillis, country music star, is one of the better known examples of this phenomenon. Read his personal letter here:

This is a well known phenomenon to musicians....there is a slight difference between the parts of the brain and neural pathways used during singing vs. normal speaking. There are many great singers in the world who have or currently do struggle with speech.

Lynn I have a hard time with public speaking and went to see The Kings Speech without knowing what it was about. Just about had a heart attack, wanted to leave actually.

I made it to the end though, did not die and can highly recommend it to you.


Speaking of royalty Ive always wondered if Sir Charles could walk a line of balls Wild Bill Melhourne style, continuously swinging back and through. It might be similar to the singing thing. Hank had all those balls teed up for him but it was never attempted. That Radius shortening Dip might not happen, who knows?

Yes, saw the movie and thoroughly enjoyed it. Interestingly, I have had zero problems with st-stt-stttt --whew! -- stuttering for the past fif-fif-ffff -- whew! -- fifty-five years.

Think I'm okay now.

It is an interesting question though,......what WOULD you do with Charles Barkley everybody?????? (physically). Like a lot of students, he couldn't care less about hearing about theory, just wants to be able to find his ball.

who's first?

While I did not watch Sir Charles, I would get him to know where his Hands are at all times, never let him reach Top 10-21-A and teach him Drive Loading 10-19-A. If that doesn't work, switch him to playing left handed, where the brain does not have any information that would cause his right handed deeply ingrained habits to appear.

It looks to me like CB is a natural hitter, but at the same time it seems clear he has a very strong urge to steer the club face square towards impact.

I bet his intuitive understanding of rhythm has flaws. He doesn't know how to let the right forearm and the RFFW gradually (and quite naturally once you know how to do it) turn into the swing plane and square up the club face without steering.

This was something that I didn't see or hear HH address at Golf Channel, and appearently it wasn't addressed here either:



In both cases the symptoms was reduced substantially, but only for a little while. The presence of a deep rooted infection was evident in the videos after both those teaching efforts, even in his very best strokes. They gave him something that reduced the symptoms for the time being, while what he really needed was a "penicillin" cure of fundamentals.

A lot of the errors that CB thinks and acts goes right to the heart of TGM: Rhythm, flat left wrist, hinge action, finish swivel. Yoda has the right tools to do something. He has put it all in the arhcives already. Some of it in this thread, for instance: http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...ghlight=swivel
