How many golfers that you know about, besides Nicklaus, have the clubhead
off the ground at address?

For the driver, sure. But not for any other club. I don't see Driver
specified above.

Which is, of course, why practically no pros do it, right?

Why put the clubhead in a different position at address than at impact?

I'm certainly not defending Llllarry here, but wouldn't the club hovered
behind the ball above the ground be also the correct position at impact?
I'm speaking of a driver of course and maybe you guys are talking about
other clubs. If so, I apologize for butting in :)

Everyone should--and should be waggling at least slightly. It is a big
mistake to ground the club-- because you could unknowingly be in a
three-point stance--and then fall forward slightly when you lift the
club. FAR better to just maintain the weight of the club in your
hands.

disagree...
