The start down waggle.
 

Question:

Why is this not performed during the actual golf stroke, but only as part of the address routine or a stand alone practice drill?

(I'm not even sure what a flywheel is...) Is it the pivot rotation in the downswing we are talking about?

Is this by any chance flail and/or rhythm related?

A little better understanding would be helpfull if somebody wants to elaborate ..

Seems like I have to work this out myself.

Since the left arm is doing a pulling motion in the downswing, the left wrist must be the point of loading to release the loaded and stored power into the ball (FLW uncocking) I suppose...


"Spin the axis" must be the (hands controlled) pivot (spine) turn of the shoulders and hips to get a coil of the upper body that from the ground up spins this coiled upper body with the whole power package to spin like a "flywheel" going down - or something like that...

Would someone set the record straight before I let this rest...?

Unfortunately it's getting kind of lonely here. Nobody finds it worth while to give answers any more... Time to give it a rest and try to figure out things by myself from now on.

Sorry pal, 'been a busy week.

I think you're getting the correct idea of using the pivot to spin the shoulder but then I'm just a guy out there... I've never had a lesson with a TGM pro.

Thanks. I have, but I haven't managed to conect what I was shown with a deeper understanding of what I'm doing/trying to do. It sometimes frustrates me. But that's just me. Sorry.

As everything in the book the word flywheel has not been chosen lightly. It feels heavy, one has to be deliberate to put it into motion. It smoothes the motor rotation: Rhythm. It keeps momentun: Lag Pressure.

Here is more meat on the bone. Sounds like you are getting there..
