I’ve only seen a couple clips of his. I’ll try to listen to Lag’s conversation with him later to see what he is about.

The 2 Montes videos on Lag’s channel are rather lengthy and focus mainly on items other than pure swing dynamic ideas such as rule changes, architecture, old golf, new golf, bomb and gouge, etc.
It might be quicker spending time on Montes YouTube channel video shorts like I did for a better look. One of the more interesting ideas that passed from Vardon, to Mehlhorn, to Montes, seen here is a very unique view on opposing forces and did pass this rat’s test for authenticity- cut and draw at the same time.

I like that explanation. When I swing well I feel like I hit the ball with a slightly open clubface, draw or fade. There’s real freedom in going through the strike with speed and feeling the face is never closed. It feels like you gather the ball and it’s on the face for a foot even though it’s only a tiny fraction of that in reality.
The other advantage to the open clubface is our feel is, in my opinion, relative to our body’s position and the forces it’s experiencing and nothing else. If your body is even slightly open at impact, you need the club to feel open to be close to square to the target. In other words, your forearms need to still be slightly rotated open at impact, relative to your body, to accommodate for a torso that has rotated beyond the address position.
It’s like the effort to delay body rotation early in the downswing. A lot of good players do it or try to do it, but that’s not an obvious intention or swing thought you would think of just by watching film.

Wonderful insights k2, easy to see why you have such good command of your swing both physically and mentally. The body-mind-awareness quilt is such a magnificent piece of fabric.
If I ever need to find green golf facilities elevated above 8000 feet your neck of the woods is where I’ll be.
