Clubhead low to the ground, start up
I am figuring out the difference between "Lagging clubhead takeaway 10-19-A" vs "Right forearm takeaway 7-3" for my golf stroke and studying.



As for Mr. Hogan, the clubhead was really keeping low to the ground almost a foot...it seems like to me that there was a strong weight shift (with reference to the iron bar behind in the attached photo) while hands and arms were quite passive. Ben Hogan made some statements in August 1998 Golf Magazine that "A common illustration is a right-handed player (whose left hand is naturally less powerful than his right) kills any chance for a cooperative union of both hands if his right hand is dominant form the start".

With the right forearm takeaway, it traces the base plane line...and instructors and members have been talking this, Yoda also mentioned that the LCT needs the function of right forearm tracing...

For me, when I use my right forearm, I just can't stop it from pulling and crushing my power package across my body so much and also across the line…still can’t get a good look at the top of my backstroke in video or I did that wrongly…

Anyway, what are the advantages and disadvantages in doing LCT or RFT? Or are they the same? Do you think Mr. Hogan's takeaway was right forearm dominant? Or kinds of pivot guided? In the book “The Natural Golf Swing” by George Knudson, it was said that weight shift starts everything…almost pivot controlled hands procedure throughout the book.

How we treat all information around and strike a balance between pivot (zone1) and arms (zone 2) and hands (zone 3) from start up to the top?

Recent foggy days in Hong Kong...
