[O.B.Left]

Thanks OB,pretty much what Im doing,good call,R./arm chip (for me) has the feel that it becomes easier when I get the feel that I actually "feel" as if Im really getting down to sweet spot plane so long as I concentrate on the palm being the pressure point going down.
The left is a complete different story,the best way that I have come up with is to lift the clubhead over the ball,let it simply travel over the top of ball (toward target) and allow the lever assembly go back to bout waist high(letting shoulder travel be normal)....pivot on downswing allowing clubhead to drop normally into ball the pivot straightens entire lever into finding its own travel,now all this is only a gentle compression action,the follow thru of left assembly is actually quite a high finish for such a small action....if the 2 actions are monitored carefully,a lot of insight comes out of the whole drill........planewise..cheers

The left arm is just very poorly situated to do any big lifting of the club on the backswing .... the right arm however ? No problem. To the extent there is any lifting and there is , it should be done with the Right . (Ideally momentum does most of it... the "no up in the backswing notion" is a great notion but not 100 percent accurate IMO. Homers called it a Right Arm Pickup and it is. While I believe its best to minimize any lifting there is some . And to achieve this , perhaps a rarity amongst golfers ....you need lag and drag on the takeaway . A lagging takeaway morphing into Standard Wrist Action , Lynn Blake style . Momentum created by Zone 1, adopted by Zone 2 and sensed and then used by Zone 3 the hands to effect what Lynn calls Start Up Swivel. The lagging takeaway provides the momentum for Start Up Swivel. Ground /Up backstroke . Inside / out backstroke . Its hard to learn and to put into words BUT PRACTICING STIFF LEFT ARMED ONLY PUSH AWAYS FROM FIX WILL ONLY SET YOU BACK IF YOU WANT A LAGGING TAKEAWAY. Most guys will never ever come close to having one and for them the Carry Back is the way to go if by subconscious default.

You may be able to tell that im preaching like the newly converted.... it wasnt easy. This all relates to the magic of the Wild Bill Melhourne Drill . If you want to get it happening in your actual golf stroke , you need Lag and Drag in both directions. Not so common anymore but it worked for Hogan , Nelson , Jones etc etc and when you listen carefully even Jack describes a sense of Lagging in his takeaway from Impact Fix !!!!! You dont have to be mid body hands , adjusted to sense this Lag in Startup.

Your giving yourself a "running start" with the left is trying to tell you something ! Something that you could easily over look with two hands attached . Try it out. Carry back is ok too obviously.
