OK, I have been using my dowels.

DELIVERY LINE PREP
DELIVERY LINE UN-COCKING PREP
DELIVERY LINE ROLL PREP

The "Swinger's Swivel" is a Pivot initiated pull. The only way to get the club to overtake the forearm in a controlled Finish Swivel is to pull from the Pivot and maintain the # 3 PP against the handle.


Now, if my maintain my # 4 PP against my left side and Pivot, not twisting my hands, my Pivot will cause my front elbow to go left and my club to overtake my hands.

I can describe it sort of , but can I do it?

If I may offer a thought on this. You need to allow the Left Arm to Blast Off.

The above Preparation is done when you are at TOP. It is the visualization of the geometrically correct Sequenced Release of the Swinger. The Golfer's Flail swished down plane and pointed at the Straight Line Base Line. The Left Arm must blast off, accelerate away from the Pivot.

As an aside think of this Preparation as the goal or intention of the Downswing making it and the Downswing Waggle , the associated drill, the cure for "Downswing Blackout". While tremendous emphasis is placed upon the Roll of the #3 Accumulator in 12-3 and see also the connection between Horizontal Hinging and compression in the drawings of 2-C, I find it hard to feel this Roll unless I have first Uncocked #2. #2 is "velocity power" while Homer labelled #3 "transfer power". From my own experience Id recommend you practice your Downswing Waggles as per usual but try a Release Trigger a Left Wrist Throw and see if it brings the flail to life. You'll know you've awakened your flail when you feel its seductive easy power. It'll seem very "non steering like".

-From Top , having already slid your Hips target wards a few inches to get your weight on your left side . But with a Delayed Turn so your Hips are still in there turned condition.

-Having established a TSP angle at Top.

-Take your intact , fully loaded Power Package down the Inclined Plane with your Right Shoulder , with your PIvot from the Ground Up. Your Right Shoulder diving towards the plane line as actuated by the Hips which are motivated by the feet ......"Right , Left, Right , Left "

- So Right Shoulder goes down plane in Startdown, then as you approach Release add a little Left Wrist Throw. An on plane left wrist hammering or uncocking to initiate the Release of the #2 Angle On Plane (with the Right Palm still flat to the underside of the Plane).


I personally didnt feel much Rolling till I got the Uncocking happening in my Golfers Flail and you have to Roll to see Homers Flail do its magic. Like a three stage rocket , if you can't find/feel stage 3 , take a look at stage 1 and 2 first.

Another drill to enhance the feel of the left arm Flail (which I also learned from a Yoda demonstration) was to zero out the Pivot by adopting what other teachers have referred to as the "stork drill". Where you stand on your left leg primarily with your right leg just acting as a brace , way back behind the line which makes one swing with just the arms. You cant make contact very easily without letting your left arm blast off somewhat and you cant compress it very well without Rolling a nice little Horizontal Hinge. As you do this drill from Top think Delivery Line Uncocking Prep, Delivery Line Roll Prep, Sequenced Release. Add the Left Wrist Throw for the uncocking and you will see your Golfer Flail appear. A left arm Blast off, with an on plane uncocking and an on line rolling, Sequenced Release. More inside out for balls played back of low point.

The Swingers cure for Downswing Blackout and a method of heightening or isolating the Feels associated with the Startdown , Downswing and Release mechanics. Its all about the isolation of the components and learning to replicate them individually by feel during training, drills, learning. In the end you'll feel a whole but freewheeling golfers flail that operates on auto pilot. Homer said you could almost fall asleep mid swing and it would still keep flailing. Got to find it before you can set it free.

P.S. This throw was a Mike Austin favourite. Think he called it his "power throw" or something maybe. Anyways Homer thought that upon mastery of this Non Auto Left Wrist Throw you could graduate to an Automatic Throw and in combination with the Aiming Point Procedure achieve Automatic Snap Release.... Im still waiting for that day to arrive. Might need a lesson on that one to make it happen. Always been a Random Sweeper.
