squatting on the DS?
After reviewing countless pro swings on film it has become very apparent that almost all of them make an athletic "squatting" type move on the down swing. There heads lower anywhere from 2 to 4 inches.

So I tried this w/ my "drive load hitting pattern" yesterday along w/ the "hula" move while still trying to keep my head steady (even though it did lower a little) and began striking the ball more pure with a a boring trajectory. I always make this move when I play tennis or hockey but when I play golf Im almost afraid to squat and spring up for fear of moving my stable head or throwing off my on plane rt forearm. Its not a huge move, maybe one or two inches, but I like it and will continue to incorporate it.

Does TGM address this squating move in the yellow book at all? Do any of you guys making this type of move in the DS?

Is squating the downward motion part of bobbing?

some call it bobbing but I think that is when it real excessive, and when it involve moving way up out of your spine anlge. Kostis was ripping Tiger apart about his squat move, but when you look at footage Paul Casey, his own student, he makes this move too. (albeit not to the same extent as Tiger)

Hogan really lowered himself on the DS....Arnie as well

A lowering of the head due to axis tilt is ok, IMO, provided you got some lag. Otherwise one might break a wrist plowing the club into the ground.

Somehow I don't think the game is riddled with 10 handicappers who have messed themselves up perfecting Tigers squat. Or Sneads.
