Here, in my home town - in the winter, I don't practice enough. It's only a 5 min drive/10 min trip with the bike to the indoor golf hall, but I go there too seldom. So I'm missing something there. Lazy it seems. But when I was in the south recently I practiced about 2 hours each day. A lot of short pitches and chips (acquired and basis motions. And total motion on the driving range. A litte putting as well. But I have not got detail conscious enough yet to do what you are doing, but that sounds like a good idea. I probably need to focus on the down and out part of the downstroke and get my hands more educated. The transiton has also got to be very important to work on - avoiding OTT. Downstroke waggle.

The swivel you are talking about - is that by any chance a left underarm role? Do the last 3 fingers of the left hand play a part in this? That's important for me to do. And extensor action. I read everybody's talking about #1 PP, but Yoda taught me to use the 2 mid fingers of the right hand to apply extensor action on the backswing then pull the shaft and the left arm with the body pivot on the downswing. Do you also use this? Do these 2 methods work in the same way?

I am speaking about the Finish Swivel shown here:

It can be seen in all the videos but really meditate on this since it is crucial to your golf.

Compare that video with these:

and

As I understand this so far, your Pivot starts your stroke down and initiates several small "rocket booster" type moves that make the club head scream/whoosh with speed. You prepare to roll on the line. You Pivot. You Un-cock the LW on the line using a Throw (several choices including the Sweep which I think is a simple extension of your right arm (not right wrist which is bent) almost at your right/back foot). You have to use a Throw! It fires the FLW /BRW DOWN to Both Arms Straight stopping the FLW from bending since it is too busy rolling via the Finish Swivel to the balanced Finish. This is for Swinging.

The Hitting motion has the Pivot and then a Thrust makes a bunch of things happen at once which I haven't sorted out yet besides the Vertically Uncocking LW, Both Arms Straight and Finish Swivel.

Anyway....there's a start for the week.

I'll have more questions for you later.
