Daryl, this will take me a few days.

What About Knee Action?

Let me ask you an easy question:

If your Right Shoulder is On-Plane at the Top, How much Hip Slide do you need to get it On-Plane?

How much Hip Slide do you need to keep it on Plane during the Downstroke? What is forcing it Off-Plane?

If you don't have Pivot Lag set up by the time you reach Top, then you need to create it on the way down.

Do you leave your hands at the Top during Start-Down?
I like the easy questions.

We need a TGM coloring book. Would you be the illustrator? Remember the Jack's cartoon book and Gary Player's cartoon book?

What I have comprehended via Mr. McHatton's videos is that the hips start and power the Swing (or a more effective version of the Swing). So I'm looking to have a more powerful, more repeatable swing.

Several of the compensations and power drains ( maybe all of them) according to GM, come from the use of the arms and hands (he is a Swing teacher not a Hitmeister).

Apparently, if the hips drive the Swing (and if we can increase their speed from 2 mph to 2.5 mph) then the other components (esp. if we let them hang loosely) will tear through the air and allow me to become a better golfer.

I'm in favor of that.

I am enjoying the DVD's esp. since Lynn's DVD's are not out yet and I gave my Alignment I DVD's to my Dad. I leave my hands at the top, my arms, my brain, my dogs, they are all left to LAG forever.

I'm using my hips as slowly and powerfully as I can. My hips are off line since one is artificial and one leg is yada yada.

I think what your saying and GM, Lynn, TGM et al, is saying is that the simple act of stepping forward makes the hips slide.

I have to go push the golf cart up the hill with my right leg while keeping my left hip in it's ceramic socket. At last, an exercise program for non-athletes who golf.
