Many details to follow

I feel like the guy banging the drum for this Event, but the two days really were fantastic. I can't thank Michael enough for great hosting and terrific contributions. As a Golf Professional it will be weeks like these along with the constant work being done by Michael and Brian that will continue to give me the best information possible for my job.

Kudos!

This forum will be a great place to discuss all of this material and come up with ways to bring the benefit back to the average golfer.

Thank you Mike Jacobs for hosting the Anti-SummitII!
Greatest Science based Golf Instruction summit I have ever attended.
The information from the two days in Manorville NY will surely have a positive impact on golf instruction and eventually the game of golf in my opinion.
Thanks to all the Scientists on the panel of experts for sharing your research and opinions about the golf swing.
I can't wait for Spring 2012 to implement some new concepts into my teaching.

2011 Anti Summit Review: Michael Jacobs

Our Explosive Golf School hosted the 2nd Annual Anti Summit on December 5th & 6th 2011. As always, it was great to see old friends and new faces.

The addition of Dr Steven Nesbit and Fredrik Tuxen made the Anti Summit 2 one of the best conferences that I have attended. There might not be anyone better at math than Fredrik and there is no-one better at solving or reporting than Dr Nesbit. I am not sure that these two men realize what they have contributed to the study and application of this game.

Dr Sasho Mackenzie should receive a lot of credit for his presentation style and his shaft deflection work. Very useful in everyday golf instruction...

Dr's Paul Wood, Aaron Zick, and Rob Neal served their second tour on the Anti Summit panel and did a nice job as always.

Trackman 3 was unleashed and demoed on the range, very impressive with its small size and built in video. I enjoyed my meals and conversations with Fredirik and his sharing of knowledge, even though I serve as Flightscope's top ambassador the quest for knowledge and expertise is welcomed by all parties just like when Brian Manzella attended our Flightscope Convention.


The Summit went smooth, the food according to Rick Dandy was like a 'wedding,' and the information divulged this past fall in the 'Release Thread' was a hot topic of discussion. The top 3 discussions were:

1. Well timed release
2. The D plane with an added focus on off center hits
3. The usefulness of the Kinematic Sequence

What I get a kick out of the most, is the kinematic sequence quibbles in the industry. The typical downswing is .25 seconds and all scientists provide a consensus that there is not sufficient time to change anything once the downswing has begun. The golfer is equipped with only the intent on how they are going to deliver the club and their body will achieve reasonable movements therein. Any argument on the contrary can only come from someone who DOES NOT make their living teaching golfers.

On a side note,
I proposed the annual LOON AWARD to be given out at the end of each year but I got voted down This year would have been a landslide for loon of the year
