Re: Interesting read

hi Brian
in the two pictures of Trevino you will see his head is lower in the second picture and not higher so he is not standing up he is bending his knees and going lower, in the pictures of hogan his head has not moved so he has not stood up but stayed the same hight. he said both are gripper and Trevino gets his hands lower at impact and Hogan get his hands higher at impact. i don't think both are swinging to try and counter the force but swing to what way they grooved there swing.
Trevino has always dipped as he gets to impact and does this with his hips slid and push out of his left knee.
Hogan comes into the ball on a diffrent plain due to his hips slid and the push of his right knee. both use a diffrent system to get the club to the ball.
Hogan swing around but Trevino pushes his hands away from the body, with Trevino pushing every shot then he must let the force work more with him than say Hogan as Hogan has to started to pull the club around where Trevino pushes the club more away from his body and comes from more inside.
the point I'm trying to make is Trevino and Hogan and Snead are so diffrent why do they end up with the yips and why do not all top golfers have it. all top golfer i have seen have the bent right elbow that he says is fighting the force but not all gofers get it and often a change of putter gets rid of it like Bernard Langer, so it it was damage to the muscular fiber then why would a change of putter help.
I'm sorry but what he says does not seem to match what i see and know and only Moe Norman swung on the same plain on backswing and downsing all other had of a change of plain due to there hip turn and leg movement and the way the right elbow drops to the hips on the start of the down swing.
i also don't remember Trevino having the yips i always thought it was because he was just no really good a putting as his stats are 30 putt on average for his years playing.
cheers
bill
