Looked at lots of videos!

We are supposed to have 65 degrees on the weekend here, Daryl, so we have a tee time on Saturday.

I have looked at 30 videos at least, and have purchased the "key", bent right wrist device. The 90 degree angle of the wedges, sustained through impact, make the combination Horizontal Hinge with lay-back work like a charm! :read:

MSP/Turtle Creek/Chicago? Wow!

President Obama better take the regulations off the Keystone Pipeline, the Coal industry, the Natural Gas industry, and offshore drilling so we can have an economy to get tax revenues from. :( we heard today that my school district is closing 40 schools at the end of this year, and even with 10 years in the system and two permanent state certifications in Computer Technology and Business, I will feel the need to either re-certify or re-locate to keep my job.

90 Degrees like Jack Nicklaus!

Yoda spoke very specifically about this in the Martee CD. I am going to point you to the picture gallery from the Pine Needles workshop on Chuck's site:

http://www.chuckevansgolf.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=559

The pictures on the left are numbered. Look at the sequence of photos with the numbers 8546, 8547, 8548, & 8549. As you will see, the first two photos have Yoda's arm 'tucked in'. When he explained this on the Martee CD, he said Homer did not like this position as the right arm gave no support to the Lever Assembly. In the latter of the two photos, you will see how he positions his right forearm at more of a 90* angle to the left arm/lever assembly.

On the CD, he went on further to say that the best support is given at 90*. When we stand right here today, we apply a force at a 90* angle to the ground. This is also the reason Homer has been quoted as saying "Jack Nicklaus had the best right elbow in golf"....sure it looks like its flying, but it is also giving strong structural support to the lever assembly. I just noticed you can also a 'Top of Backswing' photo of Jack on the wall...notice the positioning/alignment of his right forearm to the lever assembly...pretty close to 90*.

If you look at the pictures of Diane in TGM, notice her rt. arm position at the top of any photo. It may not always be 90*, but it is definitely not tucked in tight!!!

Hope this helps!

More Fun at 90 degrees!

This is a precision alignment for Swinging and Hitting! This is now the first wobble I check so I see my right wrist red dot always looking at me.

By the way. There is a typo in the glossary for "Flying Wedges". The Mechanical definition should read 90 degrees, not 98 degrees.

Bagger
Good tip Bagger.

Per 6-B-3-0-1:

"...the Right Forearm and the Clubshaft are, in like manner, positioned on the plane of the Right Wrist Bend AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE LEFT ARM PLANE. That is the precision assembly and alignment of the Power Package basic structure and is mandatory during the entire motion. Hitting or Swinging."

Without this, there is no G.O.L.F.!

A NEXT LEVEL event

This is so important! If I were teaching a person, and I did the other day on the range, I would make him reproduce the 90 degree wedges with Chips, Pitches, Punches, and full shots over an alignment stick. (I carry 4 theses days!)

Also, remember that the entire Right Forearm Flying Wedge -- the Right Elbow, the Forearm, the Bent Right Wrist, the No. 3 Pressure Point and the Rigid Extension, i. e., the dowel -- will remain on the Horizontal Plane throughout. The Big Deal is to set the Right Wrist in a Rigid Bent Right Wrist Condition and then hold it throughout the 'Backstroke' and 'Throughstroke.'

Yoda,
are you saying that the dowel will be parallel to the ground throughout?

In this drill, absolutely. You must get the 'Feel' of maintaining the entireRight Forearm Flying Wedge Assembly in the same Plane. The Assembly willonly be on the Angled Plane of the Stroke from Release through theFollow--Through. But the Assembly will be in its own Plane throughoutand will be positioned at 90 degrees to the Left Arm Flying Wedge (6-B-3-0-1).

It is this Mechanic -- the On Plane Right Forearm Flying Wedge -- thatmust become a 'Describable Sensation' (1-J) and incorporated into your Strokeas an Identifiable Feel. When you can do this, you will go to the Next Level.

Trust me.

We do Lynn, and thanks to Daryl, Kev Carter, Jerry, OB and all the fine people at LBG!

We need to find a new use for "coal". We'll have plenty of it to go around.

Uses of Coal

Access to modern energy services not only contributes to economic growth and household incomes but also to the improved quality of life that comes with better education and health services. All sources of energy will be needed to meet future energy demand, including coal.

Coal has many important uses worldwide. The most significant uses are in electricity generation, steel production, cement manufacturing and as a liquid fuel. Around 6.6 billion tonnes of hard coal were used worldwide last year and 1 billion tonnes of brown coal. Since 2000, global coal consumption has grown faster than any other fuel. The five largest coal users - China, USA, India, Russia and Japan - account for 76% of total global coal use.

Different types of coal have different uses. Steam coal - also known as thermal coal - is mainly used in power generation. Coking coal - also known as metallurgical coal - is mainly used in steel production.

The biggest market for coal is Asia, which currently accounts for over 67% of global coal consumption; although China is responsible for a significant proportion of this. Many countries do not have natural energy resources sufficient to cover their energy needs, and therefore need to import energy to help meet their requirements. Japan, Chinese Taipei and Korea, for example, import significant quantities of steam coal for electricity generation and coking coal for steel production.

Other important users of coal include alumina refineries, paper manufacturers, and the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Several chemical products can be produced from the by-products of coal. Refined coal tar is used in the manufacture of chemicals, such as creosote oil, naphthalene, phenol, and benzene. Ammonia gas recovered from coke ovens is used to manufacture ammonia salts, nitric acid and agricultural fertilizers. Thousands of different products have coal or coal by-products as components: soap, aspirins, solvents, dyes, plastics and fibers, such as rayon and nylon. Coal is also an essential ingredient in the production of specialist products:

Activated carbon - used in filters for water and air purification and in kidney dialysis machines.
Carbon fibre - an extremely strong but light weight reinforcement material used in construction, mountain bikes and tennis rackets.
Silicon metal - used to produce silicones and silanes, which are in turn used to make lubricants, water repellents, resins, cosmetics, hair shampoos and toothpastes.

Pennsylvania

Production
Pennsylvania is the fourth leading coal producing state, mining 68 million tons last year. Almost 80 percent of this output came from 39 underground mines and the remainder from 377 surface mining and reprocessing sites.

Economic Value
In addition, the Pennsylvania mining industry constitutes a major source of employment and tax revenue. Last year, it created 49,100 direct and indirect jobs with a total payroll in excess of $2.2 billion. Taxes on these wages netted over $700 million to the coffers of federal, state and local governments.

Nice Economics lesson Daryl!

Do you agree?

Umm, I have been tracing the Plane Line and not the Angle of Approach to guarantee the new width I am enjoying in the swing. I also do this thing where I simply trace the Plane Line and feel perfectly horizontal leaving my right foream facing the sky behind me with my left arm straight back and stand very tall before I simply do a parallel hip bump. I think I may be producing an Angle Hinge since the ball seems to jump higher and either stay straight or fade depending on the ball placement and stance. I'm not sure of the TGM category for this but I imagine it very effective shooting to the green or on a narrow fairway.

If you do not encounter a substantial Finish Swivel, then you are Tracing the Angle of Approach. This adds Lay-Back to the Horizontal Hinge and is essentially, an Angled Hinge.

Although this procedure is easy to perform, it can be done so inadvertently and caused directly from a faulty Pivot.

What say you? Are you experiencing a substantial Finish Swivel or Not?

I thought it was an Angled Hinge!

I think this makes sense!

And here is a video of 90 degree fever from the Masters with lots of different players!

Daryl, I thought a dramatic Finish Swivel indicated always a Horizontal Hinge and the Angle Hinge was more subtle but I see how I could be totally wrong about that. More research needed!
