While technology is visually exciting, ultimately the golf ball tells you what just happened at impact if you just watch and feel. It's all old school with new visuals. Technology has changed teaching, the mechanics are ultimately the same. However, that being said, only the gifted teacher can get you to learn how to co-ordinate your golf swing so the club face meets the ball more solidly.

Why was Bobby a flash in the pan? To quote Mo Norman, too many pieces in his golf swing. Forgot to keep it simple............


Bobby was a student of Ben Doyle, not Homer Kelly.

The Impact Zone was written 17-18 years ago.

If you think TGM focused on "impact", you must not have read the book.

& if you think the current swing, is anything like the swing from the Hogan/Nicklaus/Watson days, you should watch some PGA or LPGA Tour events on TV and see the differences.
