How many of you guys still use/advocate Jack Nicklaus' rolling of the
ankles & great footwork golfswing versus & the "leg drive" swings of
yesteryear that you see when you watch Shell's Wonderful World of Golf
from the '60's, '70's and part of the '80's, versus the more rotary
(quiet lower body) swings that seem to be en vogue when you watch Adam
Scott, El Tigre, Charlie Howell 3 and others when CBS plays
swingvision.
I'm in the process of making a (slight) change where I'll use Jack's
rolling ankle / fancy footwork method. I hit great shots on the course
Sunday when I tried Jack's way. It was risky too 'cause I'm not used
to this move, nor have I had adequate practice with it...but I did
find, iIt helps ensure good weight shift and good balance.

Jack claims that his rolling of the right ankle is anti-left device. If
that is true... I should give it a try... :)
