Lynn - how do you feel about drills hitting off your knees? It sounds like your views on the lower body are to minimize as much movement as possible. Does that restricted lower body motion make it harder to feel the 'pivot train' move the 'whip' through the body? Essentially starting the 'whip' motion higher up the chain?

I've never done any drills hitting from the Knees. Or from a chair, for that matter. I've seen both done -- they are quite the rage with a certain highly visible Golf Digest Instructor -- and I suppose they could help some people. But from a practical standpoint, I would say they are for demonstration (as 'proof positive' of the Power Package Concept) and for effect.

As for me, I'll stick with using the full Leg. Both of them. That's what we have to deal with anyway. Might as well learn to use'em.

Regarding my favoring a "restricted Lower Body," I do restrict my Feet and my Knees (per 10-17-C and 10-16-C). I do not restrict my Right Hip (or my Right Shoulder). These move per 10-13-D, 10-14-A and 10-15-B.

Finally, I don't give a second thought to my Left Hip and Shoulder. They will conform to my Right side and Extensor Action.

As they should.
