Great link, Bob. Thanks!

With all the Latin terms available, it's hard to believe that the 'docs' still call it the 'snuffbox'. I first heard the term in 1969 when taking lessons from Melvin Hemphill at Forest Oaks CC in Columbia, South Carolina. Melvin was a 'wee left-hander' who had been at the club forever and was known as one of the best teachers in the state.

One of his early pupils was Gardner Dickinson, who was stationed at nearby Ft. Jackson during his Army days. Gardner had already started his pro tour career and study under Ben Hogan but had been drafted.



One of the things Gardner told Melvin that Ben told him -- -- was to keep that 'snuffbox' on the right side of the shaft. No great player, said he, ever had it positioned on top or to the left.

Good advice then.

Good advice now.

What Daryl is saying is...

Use the Turned (Right) Shoulder Plane and eliminate any Start Up Swivel in the Backstroke.

From there, delay the Release by keeping the Left Hand Palm Down (to the Plane) -- and the Right Hand Palm up -- through the Release Point and then Swivel into Impact.

Am I right, Daryl?
