“The Kid” Part 2

Golf Digest has a nice spread on Domenic Mazza’s swing. Swing Sequence: Swing Sequence: Long-drive phenom Domenic Mazza Swing Sequences: Golfdigest.com.
It’s uncanny how much of a Mike Austin look there is to the swing.

Now, I can assure you from personal experience, that Mike Austin would have a fit regarding the past parallel clubshaft position, however, the swing is certainly consistent with Mike’s straightening of the right leg on the backswing. Moreover, it obliterates modern thought that you must keep the right leg flexed to hit it long.
Oh, and by the way, “the kid” further validates Mike Austin’s tenet that “we want mobility, not stability”.

Note the leg action and the speed generated with the hips ala Mike Austin.
