Rotation Point and the Karate Chop - the startup swivel
many of you are familiar with the 'EdZ Drills'

They are very powerful in demonstrating the concepts of TGM.

As a variation on the theme of 'rotation point' (swinger) and 'mirror point' (hitter) I thought it would be helpful to share a drill that should help many 'get' the swinger's startup swivel and the 'karate chop' of the left hand. It is also helpful in feeling the right forearm, and max delay (accumulator overlap)


Stand in golf posture without a club and hold your hands together, palms facing each other (clap/prayer position).

The 'rotation point' in this position is the tip of the two middle fingers. ALLOW rotation around that point as you let your hands swing gently back and through.

Now do the same, but grab the middle three fingers of your left (lead) hand with your right (trail) hand. The pinky/thumb of your left hand will be on either side of the grip you have on those three fingers.

As you swing this back and through, you will notice both the 'rotation point' feel of a swinger and the 'palm down to plane' feel that goes with it, especially the right palm to plane (supporting the 'underside' of the plane)

You will also notice the 'karate chop' of the left hand pinky and the SWINGER'S feel of 'getting behind the ball' with the lead shoulder. Of hitting the ball with the back of the lead shoulder.

Very helpful for learning FULL ROLL as well as the swinger's flywheel 'throw out'
