Originally Posted by Daryl Elbow Both videos, slow mo, identify Shoulder Acceleration.

These are not good examples of the Downstroke Acceleration Sequence. Without a generous amount of "Hand Speed" (Straight Line Delivery Path) Lag will be lost and cannot be recovered. Pete Cowen: I don't know of him. He seems to have some TGM knowledge, maybe a coincidence. He obviously cannot define or quantify the Right Forearm Angle of Approach which is what this entire video is about. But HE BELIEVES IN IT. He's RIGHT. But, he sticks his Elbow to his side, not because of choice (because he states that he wants to keep it moving forward), but lack of knowledge. Most Pro's play this way. Just goes to show that talent, hard work, and effort, one can overpower Alignments to some degree. If you look at how many players make it to the PGA Tour that last only a few Tournaments or 1,2 or 3 years. It's sad. I've read that the average is 3 years. Watch toward the end of the video, he cannot, does not understand, refuses, to get his Elbow Unstuck and he'll bend his left wrist when the bucket gets pushed to low-point. It's partly because He COCKS his RIGHT WRIST....SO...he leaves his Elbow at His Side to compensate for Uncocking the right wrist. If you MAINTAIN A LEVEL RIGHT WRIST - You will allow/manage your Elbow to move FORWARD. Put on a "CAST" and FREEZE the Right Wrist and you will OWN your Golf Swing. That he mentions "Right Shoulder Support" without explaining that it's both Alignment and Force that supports the Alignment of the Pulley..... The need for continuing education......... I'm no longer surprised that a Teacher who lacks basic Alignment Knowledge can survive in competitive teaching. I'm sure he helps a lot of players but I bet there's a lot of needless suffering. He does a poor job of explaining the underhand pitch. GM: It's a shame. He's been teaching that poor guy for almost two years and he still can't play. Daryl, when you say "move the elbow forward" am I to move it around my waist on a circle or sort of on an angle "through" my waist (sort of). I assumed the latter and want to be sure! Unless, there is another possibility? Thanks! ICT __________________ HP, grant me the serenity to accept what I cannot change, the courage to change what I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
