The open and closed stances you demonstrate are both close to the most stable posture in Taichi, which is the prime meridian or sometimes called the equatorial stance. It’s in this posture that you have the most connection with the ground to use it (“ground path”) to generate a force in martial applications. There are many similarities in golf and Taichi. Another one is using rotational movements around the waist. This is the dominant force in Taichi
Thanks for all the great videos! So in 5 Lessons the ball position and foot position chart relates to backswing distance depending on club - do you think we should be using that chart?

Thanks for pointing out in Taichi what it is actually called. I could not remember if for the life of me during production.
Glad I came across your videos recently, love the detail and view you have on the golf swing
Thanks 👍

Yes I do. It promotes a heck of a lot of positive things altogether.
Agreed, Chris. Stability and it allowed him to have a longer swing for his longer clubs. I think that was how he controlled his yardages so well.
I think so too.
Thanks Chris
You're welcome.
It's about power, stability and precision!

135? How far were his drives?
Hogan never tried to hit a straight shot
135? Lol.
