To me this pivot sets you up to swing more "out" . . . which is interesting since Mr. Hogan was trying to eliminate the left side and "swung left" as VJ says in the book.

Which is why I asked earlier if this move was "anti slice"-to me it is not.
If I apply TGM ,ie I move the ball back, I hit a fade:eyes:

Read the book . VJ explains it.

I HAVE read the book-I can read!
I asked the question in order to get opinions because shot shape is not mentioned much -apart from references to " Five fundamentals"-bowed left wrist for a fade ,flat for a draw.I do not want to bow my wrist ,so I move the ball location as per TGM swinging proceedure .The book does not advocate this,it advocates a constant ball position in relation to the left heel.
Hence my question to promote discussion.

Just an idea, but could it be that your low point (left shoulder) position wasn't as far forward relative to the ball with your regular move, so that using the Missing Piece move has the effect of moving the ball back in the stance? I don't have the book with me, but I seem to recall V.J. discussing this.

Maybe a small adjustment in ball position is all you need.

Is it "more out" or "less over the top" and, therefore, more "on plane"?

I've been hitting balls with this move for a few days now. Suddenly I'm able to feel the "karate chop" coming into the ball. When I do this the impact feeling has a lot of authority, almost like telling the ball: "Behave, or else!". Anyone else experiencing this?

My bad! -I may be able to read but I can't write!
Should read -anti draw.
You may be able to make more sense of the original post now!:redface:

Once I am on my left hip and i have all that space for the club and right forearm to move into...I seem to naturally favour a downwards thump with my right forearm...

I have tried it and find that I have an early roll of the left wrist/arm from the top of the backswing...ie. release of accumulator 3 to a position where it is square to the plane...left wrist cocked and arched...at about hip height...then i seem to wack it with my right forearm....

Little of this is intentional.... other than the move onto left hip on backswing....

If I try a sequential release after "the move".... then I do not I can square the clubface enough...

I don't feel like I'm hitting but DO feel my right forearm being thrown-MUCH MORE through release'together with a definite feel of acc#3 "overtaking".

could be . . . but i'd say the farther forward the hips the more the tea cup is tilted thus more out . . . I think it's really hard to go over with the move.
