As far as I can tell I now have a flat(ish) LW and the corresponding BRW. Hope so at least.

The forward swivel is that the same as the rolling of the left/wrist? As far as I have gathered (for a swinger) the uncocking karate / flail move happens before the rolling of the left hand/wrist. Hitters on the other side do this simultaneously.

Hi Air. Two more insights I've had regarding my own Hits last evening at the range. 1) For whatever reason, when I use a heavier amount of Extensor Action my shots are true! The heavy EA keeps my wedges intact.

2) On Sunday, I was able to control many of my shots by increasing my EA and covering the baseline of the plane. I then drove my right hip to produce an Angle Hinge using the Angle of Approach but sometimes I Traced down the plane line by feeling like I dropped my right elbow. Tracing allowed me to really split fairways with my driver whereas, driving my right hip, goat-humping, allowed me to split greens with my irons. I was trying for an Angle Hinge from Impact Fix in every case.

Yesterday, I experiment with heavy EA and Tracing from Impact Fix and then tried to "turn left," spinning on my left heel. When I kept my wedges firm and got the right ball position, I hit very nice straight shots that consistently faded about 10 yards to the right.

Let's just concentrate on you! When does your wobble appear? Basic motion, Chipping, Pitches or Acquired Motion? Let's just concentrate on tracing the Baseline of the plane 2 feet back, 4, parallel to plane line, pointing at plane line. Do five of each perfectly and without a ball pull the butt of the club (PP# 3) slowly to the inside quadrant of the ball while keeping your wedges intact. Do the MacDonald marching in place feel your feet push your hips push your shoulders fling your flail up back and in down out and forward then up back and in.

Concentrate on the vertically un-cocking left wrist! Move freely beneath yourself and your stationary head. Watch how fast Lynn THROWS his flat left wrist down and out at the baseline of the plane. Just do that and the Forward Swivel will happen without a problem. Then Swing at some balls!

Watch how little correct motion it takes to make the flail explode! It is a simple tilt!

This next one is complicated but really crucial!

Keep your head stationary until after the club goes past your head. If your head stays down the ball will go up and you will have time to look for it. What difficulties occur, at what position, be precise about your wobble.

My idea of dropping my right elbow to my side came from that video to help me trigger my flail at speed. The part I forget is that the Pivot or Hip slide loads PP # 3 probably because I move slowly. I don't feel that coordinated yet so I keep my left wrist level, RFT to my shoulder and drop my elbow feeling PP# 3 secondarily. I use a left anchor / IMpact Fix, to get my hip out of the way. I cover the club head path for the Angle Hinge and drop the elbow to my side trusting that the elbow will push the hip parallel to the plane. I really might be swinging, anyway it is damn dependable for me.

Sometimes the terminology is overwhelming Air, as you know. It is a bit like the Bible and other spiritual texts. You must apply the idea to yourself to learn the meaning of the text or phrase FOR YOU, imho (in my humble opinion).

Air, try to feel the PP # 3 when Swinging. Take a full MacDonald "March/March and feel the force smash you club against the # 3 PP. Because of all my hip operations the Macdonald March stuff confused me. But when I start the exercises looking to find PP # 3, I realize that THE HARDER I PIVOT, THE MORE POWERFULLY I CAN PULL OR DRIVE PP # 3 INTO THE BALL!!! :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy

The more vigorous your pivot, the more deeply you can drive your right arm down plane, because the force of the backswing "sticks" the club to your Machine with much more, let's say, "G-Force." LAG INCREASES IN PROPORTION TO EFFORT!!!

This corresponds with the Tour Tempo and Swing Chain observations regarding speed and it's positive effect on golf shots. :golfing_banana:

A tour player's speed of swing is up and down very quickly compared to a weekend golfer and yet they look smoother and hit the ball further with more accuracy!

HK was right, "Accurate golf is Power golf!"

Lynn is right!

We are lucky fellows! :dance:
