Play It Again, Sam!

You will notice that your right wrist is fixed but your elbow will bend to top then straighten to follow through. This is the "magic of the right forearm".

Freezing the elbow is not advised for full motion shots.
Jeff Hull's explanation of this simple drill ranks as one of the great posts -- defined as one that can help you take your ball striking to the next level NOW -- ever posted on this site. It is the essence of Zone #2 Power.

Your Body (Zone #1 Pivot with its Head Center) must be trained to accommodate this motion, and that is far easier than most imagine. See posts #1 and #4 here: http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/thread4435.html. Be sure to click on the drawings for the enlargement and explanation. Here we owe a posthumous debt of gratitude to Bob MacDonald and his magnificent work, Golf, published in 1927.

Get in touch with this action . . . and get ready to rumble!
