Active pivot versus reactive pivot

[okie]

When exactly is # 4 out of ammo? Another plea for a centered head. Does a sway interfere with a players ability to swing the left arm across the chest?

PA#4 is releasing in that last image. I merely wanted to state that Hardy OPS golfers turn very fast in the early downswing and maintain a powerful torso rotation throughout the downswing. That means that any upper torso deceleration will be later - compared to a standard active pivot action swing - and therefore PA#4 release will delayed. However, the clubshaft will still be on plane during the time period that PA#4 is unreleased - because of the golfers bent-over posture and arm release angle.

Bucket,

You can have anybody on the site for a partner. I'll take Doyle and play you for whatever you want, for as many days as you want, as long as it is tight off the tee. I'll just ride in the cart and cheer my man on. Senior majors for ........

Doyle figured out the secret to success. Homer wrote in his first newsletter, "To this day - and forever - that is the central theme of instruction under this system."
BTW I would never take that bet as Doyle emptied a lot of wallets over the years.

Jethro . . . See the pic 6-B-4-0 #2 . . . . it's basically spent when it's in line with the shoulder joint . . . 90 degrees . . . . so it's loaded then as the arm swings down it is releasing and released at 90.

I'd say that physical limitations and plane angle or just plain bad concepts (such as "I have to have width in my backswing") limit the left arm going across the chest. Not sure swaying would on the backstroke . . . HOWEVER I think HOLDING ON TO #4 can certainly result in Bobs and or Sways or uncocked right wrists because of a radius disruption or plane shift resulting from the hands being pulled under or over plane . . . you gotta figure out how to get the clubhead on the ball via some sort of compensation . . .

Jeff . . . much of this has to do with plane angle and how "deep" the hands go (which is also related to plane angle) . . . . Inorder for the pivot and hands to comply to the "flatter" plane angle and "deeper" hands . . . the pivot can be more "rotary" . . . because there is simply more out in that plane . . . .

However regardless of the plane angle there has to be some hip slide and releasing of #4 to comply with the plane . . . the steeper the plane the more slidy and faster #4 has to go just due to where the hands are in space relative to the ball. Spin to quick on a steep plane and you shatter Mr. Hogan's pane all to pieces. That being said . . . . Mr. Hogan released #4 FAST and went WAAAAAY forward with the hips . . . but he did pretty much whatever he wanted to do.

I'll take Mike O . . . . if you make sure that they leave the rakes around the bunkers . . . we'll just play y'all once and see how you feel about the bet after that. See you Sat. at 8. Mike usually brings "homemade" breakfast too. His wife Greg or whatever his/her name is now will want to ride in the cart too . . . hope he want be a problem.

See you there!

Notice how Henny went away! Better make sure if he does stop running that he and Allan understand they would need to share breakfast with us

P.S. we better make sure they die by the 17th hole otherwise we'll lose. Bring the tool chest with the hammer, tape, rope and bags- just in case

The heck with that . . . the hit happens before the end of 9 holes . . . they may make us buy lunch or something . . . We don't off both of 'em just A.D. . . . Remember Henny knows people there could be other opportunities . . . he suffers from short term memory loss among other deficiencies. Make sure you get all the dead 'possums out of your golf bag . . . Doyle's from Massatoofsets the stench will likely remind him of home.

Agreed. Like Totally.

Prior to TGM the Judge and I travelled to Florida to get some One Plane lessons. The pro there was not entirely Hardy based so I dont know how relative this is but I can tell you that afterwards I struggled with pulls , divots pointing left of the hole and the odd "s word". The Judge (hope he isnt reading this) suffered from the elbow saw take away (no EA) and an early rotation off his back foot in transition. Too much rotation , too early, roundhousing.

The teacher in question has one fine, fine swing and is a great guy but I can today see through my TGM eyes that his right hip is cleared, his weight is left and his axis is tilted.

And now, thanks be to Yoda (TBTY), so is mine. Straight Divots just flying down the fairway. Being a Nawthaner and having to replace the things, its making for a lot more walking.

O.B.

Warning: Results may vary. Any reference to axis tilt is in the context of the posters personal preference as implied, weight left and cleared right hip are however implored regardless of users chosen pattern.

I figured I get a rise outta you on that one!!!!
