Basic CHipping/motion-Running out of right arm/When to fully straighten-HELP!!!!!

[ruthin]

Making my way through Yoda and VJ's DVD and I feel I may be too aggressive in my hitting procedure.

I think I try too hard to straighten the right arm and do it too soon or even over do it and end up with TOO much lean.

I find it very hard from a set up parallel to my plane line and square face to get very much loft at all and really dig in with the leading edge.

In digging through my closet of training aids I found a Tic Tac for your arm, I placed it on my right elbow and not my left and clicked it so my elbow was slightly bent and then proceeded to hit some basic motion shots. I could hear the click very close to impact if not before. The weird thing was if I set up in Impact fix and did basic motion without hearing the click I compressed it nicely.

I feel more pivot and this is more of a swinging procedure?

By the way the balls I'm using for most of these are practice balls called birdie balls. The give good visual spin of a square hit.

Youtube to show what I mean below

In the eagerness of my discovery I was rushing these, sorry.

I'm not playing much as my puppy is in the middle of rehab for hip surgery so I have lots of time for basic motion.
