[quote name='scores' post='875084' date='Jan 21 2008, 01:49 PM']I have a friend that took lessons with Toski and he said the guy is a huge advocate of in to in swing!!!! I can not believe they worked together unless they were just doing clinics for $$$$'s

IN to IN is what he teaches... that's not swing to right field....[/quote]

Maybe so, but Toski is still a predominantly "arms and hands" advocate with the body supporting. I saw him recently do an analysis of Tiger's swing and he still made comments like "look how beautifully he freely swings his arms with his body supporting" or something like that. Made me want to puke. He also coauthored at least one book with Flick that advocates the same thing.

Which is completely RIDICULOUS IMOP.........jeez, grown men acting like they INVENTED the bloody game........IF somebody disagrees with me that's their RIGHT........in the big pic, "so what"........LOL

Coach Flick is an ornery ole' cuss with an ego that's been SERIOUSLY deflated over the past 20 years......he's got a chip on his shoulder IMOP.........same can be said for other "big name" teachers too.........get two "big name" experts together with BIG ego's and who BOTH think they invented the golf swing/golf and "fireworks" will ensue just about everytime.......... :yes:

Haha...........well I for one hope his ego gets deflated even more.

Good god.........

I say respect reschmect man.....lol...............

Seriously though, I mean- you gotta give people a fair shake but sometimes you have to draw the line I think.

Some of these guys are so out to lunch on some things it's absolutely baffling. I mean seriously............you are supposed to be "world-class teachers"..........get it right. I mean........Flick has had around 70 years and he still is spittin out some pretty BAD stuff. Lorrrrrrrrrdy.....

I just hate to see the lack of progress and the lack of self-evaluation that must be there to spit out obvious junk as absolute truth.

Way too much Pure BS. Really- it's sad that some of this stuff is allowed to go on.
