Stiff right wrist/Firm, Flat Left Wrist, Angle Hinge if you got 'em! Now the movies. Lynn, TT, Ted, everyone is firing the right arm. The only question is when or where on the downswing. I guess the bottom line is to feel the toe of the club pass the heel through impact, roll on that line, but just don't jump the gun by doing impact as a Finish Swivel! It's not complicated. Position the Ball at Lowpoint, because Ball Location determines the Angle of Approach. Widen your Stance to Shoulder Width (important). Grip the Club with your Right Hand only and create the Right Forearm Flying Wedge (Bend that Right Wrist). Turn the Right Hand Flying Wedge until the Clubshaft is On-Plane. Move that assembly into Impact Alignment without "flashing" your Right Hand (Impact in the Turned Alignment). Notice the Clubface remains stable as it closes (Toe passing heel) and very important, please notice that your right Forearm is aligned on the Angle of Approach when the Clubhead reaches Impact. When your Right Forearm at Impact has reached the Angle of Approach, it's On-Plane and if you were to attach a dowel rod to your Right Forearm it would Point to the Plane line about 15 yards ahead of the Ball while on the TSP and about 5 yards ahead of the Ball if you used the Elbow Plane. (depends on Club Length) This causes the Clubface to "Close Only" through Impact. If you consistently (persistently) hit Push Shots, it's because you haven't closed the Clubface, which is because your Right Forearm hasn't reached the Angle of Approach, which is because ........of the many possible reasons, it's most likely that you don't know what you should be trying to do. Once you understand what you're trying to do, it's pretty easy to do it. Don't think that because you brought a "Turned Right Wrist and Right Arm Flying Wedge" into Impact that you haven't "Rolled". You have Rolled! You've "Rolled" around an Axis perpendicular to the Horizontal Plane. And, your Left Forearm Flying Wedge will Roll about the Hinge because of your Flat Left Wrist. Using the above procedure will allow (Force) your Left Wrist to remain Vertical to the Horizontal Plane through the Impact Interval. And, Very Stable....without flashing your Hands. Quote: 2G...These motions actually duplicate the three possible hinge mountings – horizontal, vertical and angled – representing all three Basic Planes (7-5). The Hands can be educated to reproduce them by holding at least one Hand vertical or parallel to the corresponding Basic Plane. These motions also duplicate the motions of paddles of a paddlewheel rotating around its axis vertical to one of the three Basic Planes. And an equivalent could be “Clubface Paddlewheel Action” executed as a Left Wrist Paddlewheel Motion. Thus, though some procedures may cause the Clubface to “Close” in relation to the Plane Line, none will be an actual “Roll” of the Hands. See 2-C and 6-B-3-0. __________________ Daryl Last edited by Daryl : 02-03-2011 at 11:19 AM. Daryl View Public Profile Send a private message to Daryl Find all posts by Daryl
