Axis Tilt And The On Plane Right Shoulder femoore wrote: Philly, or whomever, What drill, or procedure would you sugggest for players with the off plane right shoulder problem mentioned above. Is this the same as "roundhousing?" Thanks, femoore phillygolf wrote: Femoore, As Homer states in 5-0, "That-failure to clear the right hip (roundhousing) can initiate almost every alignment disruption, including shanking" So - Homer is saying, we need to establish a lag relationship to the plane line. In order to do so, we must clear the right hip - meaning, move it enough so the hands have a path to the planeline. Now, since we have already established the right shoulder must move onplane (and that the hands will generally follow the path established by the shoulders) - or at least back and down, then it would stand to reason the hips must clear enough to allow the right shoulder to become onplane. No, it doesnt stand to reason. THE HIPS MUST CLEAR ENOUGH TO GET THE RIGHT SHOULDER ONPLANE!!! So - to me, roundhousing means the shoulder or the hands must move around the hips to move in a line towards the planeline, and this results in a geometrical disaster. The fix could be two fold: 1. Properly train the pivot. At transition, make a slight bump of the hips which imparts an axis tilt (the shoulders move back and down away from the target somewhat) - that axis tilt allows the shoulder to become onplane, and then naturally - continue the pivot motion. 2. As quickly as possible but under the guidance of how properly the pivot is executing, that same relationship must be established with the hands. So, the command of delivering the lag must include a clearing of the right hip...eventually, as the player works on both of these, hopefully the transition to hands controlled pivot will be easier (but may require periodic trips back to the pivot). Thats my story and I am sticking to it. Wow, what a post! Great work, Patrick! One nitpick: Remember, the Right Shoulder Turn of 10-13-A/C was already OnPlane at the Top. Therefore, it needs the Axis Tilt not to move itthere, but to keep it there during the Start Down, Downstroke, Release,Impact and the Follow-Through. __________________ Yoda
