i doubt it :-) i'm groping around in the dark, smashing in to things mostly, one step forward two steps back :-)

trying to fix an image in my mind here.....when we talk vertical, horizontal & angled hinging are we talking in relation to the ground ? so a vertical hinge sees the blade (the left arm) swinging around a pin that is mounted horizontally like the top of a cat flap in a door ?

this thinking stuff hurts don't it ? :-)


ps Air if my lines of thought are messing with yours, please say & i will set up another thread - i originally thought otherwise but i can now see how they might be a negative to your understanding rather than a positive

All contributions are welcome. I can do my own thing anyway and when I want, so that's no problem.
To your question - . Vertical hinging (the palm of the left hand points vertical to the ground) - gives a clubface that points vertical to the sky - you can put a glass standing on it. Horizontal hinging is the opposite and angled in between the two others.

Maybe it's better to say that when the back of the left wrist (= the wrist watch) points (vertical) to the sky then it's vertical hinging, for the main point is that the flat left wrist controls the clubface - so where the top of your flat left wrist is pointing , so is the clubface and that describes what kind of hinging we are talking about.

that's great thanks & thanks for the pointer on how to view the hinging

here's a good description of Yoda's i found - i envy you your planned trip btw very cool to fly over & get it all direct from Yoda :-)

The Golf Stroke is all about inscribing near-perfectCircles with the orbiting Clubhead on the face of an Inclined Plane-- while simultaneously Sustaining Lag Pressure on the Clubshaftand controlling the Clubface through Impact

At my age, I suddently realized that there's no time to lose - so why not do what you want (if you can afford it).

If you are comfortable with the quote, you shouldn't have too many problems reading the book. I found the description a little heavy.

Yes I'll hit you with my sincere gratulations on turning something complicated into something understandable without compromising its content.

out of ideas
 

Allthough it's already Tuesday here, I'll wait til the morning before I start with Tuesday's program. But I notice already now that it won't last long with the idea of having a subject or a concept that I'll try to say something about. I've planned to say something about the stationary head tomorrow (seen from USA), but I don't think I know so many more things to write about. I'll try so long as it lasts, but it may be over already in a couple of days. No big deal, but I'm open for ideas. (And if I don't know so much about the subject I'll have to ask for help).

It's an Air World . . . We Just Live In It!
 

For the record, Air's March 2011 Cuscowilla reservations just hit my BlackBerry.

Gettin' his 'All Access' cart ready!

:salut:

I started this thread by saying it would be some sort of diary, where I could put some of my thoughts.

Well, I'm thinking of Cuscowilla again.

Will it be merely a repition courses? Nothing wrong with that - or can I pick up some new things that will make me a better player? Probably.

And the stay has its own merits - just the pleasure of being there (hopefully the weather is agreeable). It will render a flying start - I almost said wedges - to the season that is way too short here.

But I feel some pressure as well. The last day I was put to the test - and I did better than expected. How would it be to come back and perform worse than last time.? If that would the case, would I manage to take it like a man or a spoiled brat? I don't know.

Why am I dwelling on this?

I experienced it as unreal - almost to good to be true. Where do you go from there? It probably depends a little on what I do this winter. I'm not so sure I'll be a better golfer just sitting here with the lap top, nursing my thread the whole day long. Reading TGM is most certainly a good thing, but I need to get my but out of the chair and do a lot more training, not just typing in a lot of letters hour after hour. Get a grip on yourself man!

Goody-goody.
