Practice your golf motion with this! It is like using a tape measure on a golf shot. I swear Air, you will be able to tell your friends in advance where you are Hitting the ball and pick your spots! :laughing9

I have started to do push-ups again! LOL

So you are not going to tell me if RFT means Right Forearm takeaway or something else?
Do you "answer" your pupils in the same manner?

I am in with several kids working on computer projects.

Use the search engine!

:)

You don't read titles do you?

"While the arms are still lifting up". I find it hard to go in two directions at the same time unless my arms are sort of floating up via momentum at that point in the backswing. The lifting action of the bending right elbow has subsided and the hands are traveling via momentum , slowing down. The Slide takes out the slack , stops the backwards travel of the arms as opposed to a hard stop with the arms.

Since your talking Drive Loading you should ideally stop at Top , which will feel very short and require very little actual right elbow lifting. Its a small , short lift. (id guess at 18" or so for example , but Homer wouldnt like that . " Why not 17" or 21" ? " , He'd say. But just to give you a rough idea of how small "small" is Ill use that. Since you're a Hitter you could say until your Right Elbow bends to your desired degree of bend. That would be more correct. ) Its a weird concept but it is a truly short "lift" even though the hands actual travel is longer. Same goes for the pivot too but thats another topic. The swing just isnt as big as it first appears when you break it all down.

As far as lag goes start with little short chips first with just right hand attached. Since your Hitting , freeze the right hand in its impact fix degree of bend, the shaft pointing at your left shoulder, the imaginary ball back in your stance , get your right forearm on plane with the shaft , your weight left so you can raise your right foot off the ground if you were asked to. Yes thats very left. Now with this precision impact alignment of the right forearm and right hand, take it back and forth two feet in both directions without stopping and without a hitting a ball. Keep it all together , move it as a unit. See the photo accompanying The Bat Basic Stroke in the book. Notice how there is ideally a Top and an End position , but ideally no adjustment for or anticipation of Impact. BAck and forth , back and forth. Steady and smooth. Then start from your Impact Fix address and do the same for singular swings. You now have Three Stations: Address, Top, Finish with no adjustment for Impact. Impact is not a Station.

During each of these steps try to feel the lag pressure collect against the Lag Pressure Point on the downswing. Try to sustain the lag pressure , keep it at a singular P.S.I. which will require some acceleration but a very gradual , smooth sort. Going too fast will see the p.s.i. spike but then subside quickly before you reach the ball. A very bad thing.

Then try hitting balls with just your right hand attached. Notice how if you maintain the lag pressure , think about the lag pressure the sweet spot finds the ball. Notice how if the Right Hand loses its ideal degree of bend or breaks down the sweet impact is lost. Notice how the structure of the Right Forearm Flying Wedge provides some serious resistance to the ball at impact. Like a battering ram. Notice how a flimsy Right Hand has no structure. Notice how good shots coincide with the existence of Lag Pressure. Steady , smooth Lag Pressure. All your bad shots will have a corresponding lack of Lag Pressure.

Then try it with two hands.

Then try it for longer shots. Build , build , build.

Then seek this juice or nectar out for the rest of your golfing life.

The number three pressure point attaches to the top of the Sweetspot Plane. That feeling of Lag Pressure in your Hands is the feeling of the Sweetspot not just the clubhead. The sweetspot (given an on plane swing and enough momentum) seeks out , points at a line on the ground , if you direct that line through the ball........you will find the sweet nectar of golf.

It is illusive ......... you'll always be tempted to speed it up more and more. When you have that feeling of the club flying ahead of your hands , when your swinging faster than you want too , you're dealing with Throwaway. Your clubface will point here and there as your left hand breaks down. Your compensations for this will be unkown to you and make their detection and correction difficult. If you get lost go back to the beginning: little chips and then build it up piece by piece.

If you're good until you put both hands on the club research independent Arm and Body/Pivot Motion, the inert Left Arm, the Downswing Sequence of 6-M-1.

Ah its never ending topic of discussion this one. Im still trying to figure out why it leaves me sometimes.

P.S. Since your Drive Loading ....the Pressure Point doesnt Rotate. See 6-H-0. Meaning you Load the Lag Pressure point at the Index Finger. Classic 12-1-0 style. Three Barrel Hitting. No Drag Loading in Startdown which would load the knuckle. See the LBG hit movie "Pressure Point #3 , where are you?".[/color][/b]

Does this also work with Drag Loading?

Dragging n Driving are Diff. but Baseline of the Plane and Exten. Act. are Forever!

Air, Lynn set us up with dowels to demarcate the baseline of the plane (BLP) AND THAT IS CRUCIAL! :salut:

For Hitting, Assuming a proper grip and a Stationary Head, and Impact Fix, the BLP is covered by your Extensor Action (EA) with the club as you RFT (Lift your inert Flat Left Wrist to TOP , no rolling keep it flat, with your EA TRACING RFT). A slight shift beneath a Stationary head will take up the slack allowing you to feel PP # 1 and then drive it to the BLP from an angle of let's say 45 ish degrees but that varies with club. The Drive out is deliberate and heavy an the club face must be a little open or a little closed at set-up depending on your intentions.

For Swinging, Mid-Body Hands drag the club up-plane to Top or End whatever you like and EA (extensor Action) is pointing your inert left arm at THE BLP throughout. THAT IS CRUCIAL! At TOP keep your head still and SLOWLY,SLOWLY SLOWLY DRAG THE BUT END OF THE CLUB TO THE BLP WITH ONLY YOUR HIP SHIFTING LATERALLY! THE CLUB WILL SHATTER THE BALL AND SQUISH IT REAL GOOD with centrifig. force!

Every shot, Air, must have Extensor Action interacting with the BLP or the line of compression will not be activated and the shot will be powerless and uncontrollable day in and day out!.The Hitter covers the BLP with the club-head to load the EA and get power to the shot and the Swinger traces the BLP with PP # 3 to create EA and load power into the shot. EA and the BLP LOAD POWER AND CONTROL INTO EACH SHOT EVEN PUTTING!!! :)

Do not ask any more questions until you have tried these techniques. Keep notes set up dowels and be kind to those on the range who look at you with awe! Life is short and kindness is God's currency of choice. (I am making a point to try first and explore by doing!).
