Good luck City. Have a great time.

The only useful thing about my post below is the fact that I accurately quoted TGM and showed Lynn's fine instruction!!! My conclusions are simply wrong. Please ignore them!



Sorry, using 7th edition

1) 10-19-C (197) "Rope Handle Technique of a Swinger...start the Club down as if it were being drawn from a quiver like an arrow-feathered end first. Maintain this motion until the until the Release switches ends."

I have been struggling to find power for over a year and just read this section this week! It seems counter-intuitive to pull the club away from target as a way of gathering speed but this is exactly what I experience in pulling the arrow from the quiver! This is the greatest amount of power I have ever experienced in any golf technique! No need to worry about the Forward or Release Swivel with this move! The Club Throws out and around so powerfully that I literally have to stop myself from tumbling forward by bracing my tripod purposefully.

a) I would like Lynn to tell/show me why we say "DOWN, OUT, and FORWARD" when this feels so "AWAY, OUT, DOWN AND FORWARD?"

b) I know "Throwing At the Plane" is a real THROW AT THE BALL and not the evil "THROW AWAY." But does the "ARROW TECHNIQUE" produce more "THROW AT" than "THROW AWAY?"

c) How come pros don't seem to pull the Arrow away from the target as much as I am pulling away? Does this mean I have misunderstood this technique?

d) The Hitter's Drive Loading (195) is an "Axe Handle" push of the shaft but the picture of the "C" seems to have a much longer "ARROW TECHNIQUE" away from the target. Am I over analyzing the picture. Again, there seems to be power to spare with that motion.

e) Is there a relationship between the "ARROW TECHNIQUE" AND 10-20-A? Is this what THE HAND THROW really is?

f) Are all other "THROWS" simply degrees of lesser "Educated Hands?" (198 and 199)

g) Is "the sharp initial acceleration of the Shoulder Turn against the # 4 Pressure Point Loading motion of the Left Arm" simply a different feel to achieve the mechanics of 10-20 -A and likewise all the other Throws?

h) THE HAND THROW OR "ARROW TECHNIQUE" seems to allow a full "Tracing of the Base Line of the Plane." Full width in tracing the BLP and full width in the Down Stroke?

I can find one major flaw in all this and I'm afraid it is a fatal one. Though I keep my Bent Right Wrist using this "ARROW TECHNIQUE" I use up my Right Elbow Straightening almost instantaneously! Lynn's Hitting tapes show the Right Elbow BENT through Impact until Both Arms Straight. Unless the Pivot and Hula motions carry the club into the Impact zone faster than the elbow straightens.




I bet Lynn knows!!!

Maybe, I was not using the Right Forearm to Un-cock the Vertical Left Wrist before and the "ARROW TECHNIQUE" gives real power to the Right Forearm Throwing the Vertical Left Wrist (VLW) out and through the Finish Swivel? I was using the Pivot to Un-cock the VLW instead of employing the Throw so there was no power. With an active Pivot and Hula, and a real Throw, I have all the power in the world?
