Sam is very good but there's no point in making comparisons. My own comments were not meant to disparage the Australian guy at all. Sam's not a god or anything. He's just one of the very best I've met and more specifically, he's particularly good at making very good and very quick internal changes. His energy is not broken anywhere I could sense it. Those breaks in continuity are where you can do things like respond to an arm yank with a shoulder stroke.
For all I know, if I crossed hands with the Australian guy, I might feel he was just as good as Sam. I commented on Sam because I have personally felt what he has to offer. I can't say that about the Australian guy.
Sounds to me like Sam has interpreting energy mastered which is to say he operates constantly according to the 4 ounce rule and only makes his changes according to the rule. This is difficult to see as in his video you only see energy expressions when the rule is violated.
