You must be talking about Kevin, Gerry!

I used to be a 6 looking at better, but I had no idea what the heck I was doing. Then a couple injuries, age and arthritis took over and I had to do something. TGM with Kev and a day with Yoda sparked great interest. Gems from you, O.B. Mike, Bucket and others have been hugely helpful.
I'd like to think I'm not dumb enough to stir your hornets nest, but City seems to think nothing of it. I look forward to the competition and may volunteer to caddy. He'll need a great deal of help as well as a few "gotchas."


I am a mean and fiesty old man that terrorizes sub-urban types that live in Bollingbrook, IL!

I read the post Amen suggested, and like Kevin, I saw an urbane agreement to disagree, which was, in itself, very encouraging.

I felt like Lynn was saying things like:


To your question:

I advocate a Right Shoulder that moves back to the Inclined Plane (Turned Shoulder Plane / 10-13-B), not a Left Shoulder that moves down (toward wherever).

I advocate Hands that move from an Elbow Plane (10-6-A) to the Turned Shoulder Plane (Single Shift / 10-7-B), not Hands that move from a Hands Plane (10-6-E) to an Elbow Plane ("X" Classification).

Andy Plummer (Plumdog on this site) and Mike Bennett are friends that I meet on the practice tees of the PGA TOUR. I admire their work, but on these two points . . .

We definitely see things differently.


In my version of S&T, my right forearm is on plane and my left wrist is level. Standing on my right leg just picks up my RFT and EA (on the inclined plane), and I then have to drop on to the elbow plain by thrusting my back hip. Maybe it's not close to being S&T, but my point is that I am ALWAYS TILTING LEFT, so why not just smack the crap out of the ball using it?


I've made so many changes to my golf swing since March of 2010, I don't remember my name or the color fur I used to have!

I could call it the "Gimp Smacker!"
