Rory.....
Watching Rory's action this week has been fun, amazing, and interesting...... I've seen him hit some fairly big draws with short irons and really quiet hands, at least a far cry from horizontal hinging. That clubface on the slo-mo ain't doing much of ANYTHING through the strike. Thoughts?

i must be way off, i thought he was "kissing the wrists" real quick through impact with a lot of roll. Classic swingers motion.Dual horizontal. maybe even a flip release per 10-24-f.(off plane throw out)
That pivot is magnificant.

Maybe some hard finish swivel, particularly with driver...... but not even close on some of these short shots. I understand that the plane becomes more vertical, but there is NOTHING going on with that CLUBFACE for a long time through the strike.

Swing Analysis
He Lags the club back and through with no Hitter's carry and gets plenty of Down as he hits the ground after striking the ball first.

Ok, so Im not arguing whether or not he's a swinger or whether or not he hits the ground after the golf ball.....for that matter, wasn't looking for an argument period....? If you want to break it down, then how bout one where we can at least SEE the clubface since that's the only thing I was asking feedback on...... okay?, next

I was trying to expand the thread and to encourage you to chime in with your observations.
I was practicing "less is more."

Guru,
Right, obviously swinging.......guess Im asking my question poorly. Let's try again - when a "swinger" like Rory appears to use significant pivot over hands and drastically reduces clubface rotation through the strike for specific clubs or shots, is he " holding" the face? Is he a temporary steerer? Changing hinge action from shot to shot?.......
