Oh, I'm not criticizing your swing. It looks really good. I'm just saying - Snap Release on an Elbow Plane?????
You can get close. But Close isn't the same thing. Besides, there isn't any need to Snap Release on an Elbow Plane. The whole idea of Elbow Plane is having this massive transfer of force from the Pivot (Right Shoulder) to the Right Forearm. The bigger the Pulley the better,,, in a way. You may however, rather than focus on Release Point, focus on Hand speed. Hand Speed plus this massive transfer will get you the most distance when on the Elbow Plane.
And to get more arm/hand speed u need faster feet?
How are you progressing with your videos?
Yes, faster pivot.
Videos are coming along great. Really great. I'm trying to shorten the "Plane Line Tracing" presentation from 30 minutes to 10 minutes. Its tough deciding what to leave out. I decided to use the "Plane Line Tracing" presentation before my "Golfing Machine: Homer Kelley" Introduction video. Then, "Low Point" video, then "Chapter Two", then "Hinging", then "Motion Curriculum", then "Geometry of the Circle".
Its a great video. I actually show you how to "Trace the Plane Line" and what it can do for you. Its fascinating. It will be the first ever video of its kind.
Oh I didn't think u were criticizing yes its on tsp on the way down
Hmm?
I'm sorry to have to disagree but I'm pretty sure that you're using an Elbow Plane. Nothing wrong with that.
Don't be mislead by the apparent clubshaft plane angle. There's very little difference between the TSP and Elbow Plane when it comes to shaft angle. It mostly posture.
In the TSP, the Pivot generates an ON-Plane Force. It transmits that force through the right shoulder the same as if it were generating an off-plane force.
The "Standard" Pivot causes an Off-Plane Force. When You straighten the Right Leg during the Back-stroke, your right knee correctly responds to your downstroke hip turn by bending again. Classic "Sit-Down".
This isn't a reflection of your effort or the quality of your swing. Your ball striking is very impressive and so is your game. But as close as you are to using the Turned Shoulder Plane, you may be just as far from actually being on this Plane. It's a matter of "either you have the exact alignment or you don't". No matter how close you are, it's only a variation of the Elbow Plane. If you snap a line at Impact from the Ball, through your #3 PP and up to your Right Shoulder, it would form a straight line if on a TSP.
Using a TSP has 2 basic advantages. Both are mechanics. First, is Alignment support. With the #3 Pressure Point on the same plane as the On-Plane Right Shoulder downstroke, you're delivering an Impact Aligned Power Package into Impact, as long as you're Right Forearm is Aligned to the TSP at the End of your Backstroke. The Second, and more Important advantage, is the TSP's 3 stage downstroke acceleration sequence. Shoulder-Hand-Clubhead. Much Less effort and "Softer" Pivot input for high Clubhead speed output. The Elbow Plane has a 2 stage Acceleration Sequence. Ball goes farther with a faster Pivot (more effort).
Anyway, if you want to use the TSP, its a simple correction. Use a "Right Knee Anchor". Then, your Right Shoulder won't drop a fraction below Plane at Start-down. If your Right Shoulder is On-Plane at the End of your Back-stroke, it will continue down-plane during the Down-Stroke.
One Caveat. At the End of your Backstroke, no matter how long it is, your right forearm needs to also be on the TSP.
Compatibility:
Right Anchor .... Turned Shoulder Plane
Standard Pivot ...... Elbow Plane

I would love to see the long version, Daryl. All of them. This place has been very quiet lately, and I miss your deep insights into TGM.
