pellmell, I think that you addressed the post and photo to me.
You will notice two things about the image you sent:
1 the shaft has a 'concave'-bend as it strikes the ball.
2 the left foot is still at 20 degrees towards the target as per Hogan's method.
3 the left arm pushing outwards with the left wrist pronating as per Hogan's method.
The Hogan method has two things that are causing the 'concave'-bend of the shaft. First, the wide stance is not conducive to motion. Hogan had to devise a slide and turn to shift from the right side to the left heel. That reduces the power available.
Second, the left foot at 20 degrees is not sufficiently open. Consequently, it is blocking the downswing.
Both these factors have resulted in a 'concave'-bend strike on the ball. It is a weak strike.
The Reflex Convex Swing addresses the shortcomings of the Hogan method by doing three things. Briefly, as follows:
1 It uses a narrow stance to encourage movement.
2 It pre-turns the right foot 20 degrees towards the target and the left foot 45 degrees.
3 It imports the rotary movement of the lower body of field sports to power the golf swing.
The right foot encourages the generation of energy in the backswing. It enables the angle between the shoulder plane and the hip plane to be maximized with a short backswing. The X-factor is maximized.
The open left foot does not block the downswing in any way.
The rotary movement of the lower body, pivoting on the left heel, is much more powerful that the Hogan slide and turn move.
Just to quote you a statistic. In the shot put, the spin (rotary) technique outperformed the slide by 20 percent. 17 out of the 25 longest throws used the spin (rotary) technique.
By using the above three principles, the Reflex Convex Swing delivers a 'convex'-bend shaft to strike the ball. The convex strike force is much more powerful than the concave strike of the modern swing by a fifth.
As this photo shows the convex bend of the pole is powerful enough to propel the vaulter over the bar. Think of what it can do to a golf ball.
