But, I had to remind myself of that damn right thumb on every swing or there would be no Flail and the Axis Tilt won't matter at all, as you know and I have to retrain! :BangHead:

Ok, I shot a terrible score yesterday , and still saw many new skills take shape after my visit with Lynn.

I made a lot of three puts from far away, and I also got greedy and turned five pars into bogies or worse. The greens are now in summer shape. I'm hitting my sweet spot on my putter through breaks and bouncing my putts out of the middle of holes or ripping around the edges and spitting out yards away. I practice putting now exclusively before my round, maybe that's the problem. I feel like I can hit anything and go for long putts a lot. :naughty:

I "putted my chips" to within 10 feet on 7 holes. The technique Lynn showed me using my putting grip works with lob wedges, pitching wedges, sand wedges and 9 irons. Several of those shots were within two feet and knocked away. Sadly, all of those chips were for par. Our rough is very thick but the right club getting the ball rolling to the hole right away is beautiful.

My driver and full swing were pulls to start. I corrected two big problems by marching and Pivoting fully until I felt the weight in my PP # 3 and my wrists fully set, and I got my right thumb off the frickin' club! As soon as my right thumb was loose I started bombing my drives straight and far! Sheesh! Those mistakes cost me 20 extra strokes or so, but once I made my last prep a waggle with a loose thumb with lag felt in the PP# 3, and checked my balance, it was FLAIL TIME!
:golf:

A repeatable FLAIL and putting/chipping technique has me very encouraged. This whole tape touches much of what Lynn showed me. Check out Sam's grip remarks from 5:00 to 7:00!

Perhaps one of the biggest challenges for true swinging is learning to 'trust' that CF will do its job and to 'allow' rotation. Instinct for most people is to 'try' to do something with the club, which unfortunately gets in the way of allowing the club to swing.

If you find that you are bringing the hosel into the ball, chances are you are either a) off plane or b) out of rhythm

Most often the issue is being off plane, having the club too inside on the takeaway with a 'lift and roll' motion of the hands that instantly takes the club off plane. Imagine a line along your toes parallel to the target line, at about the balls of your feet (where your hands are hanging at address). You want your hands to move back and through along that line, without the club getting too much 'behind' them off the plane. Work on this without a club, and even better, while swinging a rope or 'tempo ball' (see ebay).

This addresses the second main issue - rhythm. You can use a rope, or a towel, or even just a t-shirt. Swing it back and wait for it to hit your back, then through. You'll feel the 'swinging' rhythm, and with the t-shirt, you'll even feel that 'lag' loaded and dragged through. The feel of a 'heavy' club that will really help you feel those pressure points in your hands, and 'let' you SWING without trying. Swinging your hands as if they were a child on a swing set.

Lag the hands back to load PP # 3 from Standard Address AND WAIT FOR IT TO HIT YOUR BACK SO THAT YOUR WRISTS FULLY LOAD AND LAG IS FULLY DEVELOPED FOR FULL WRECKING BALL POWER (STAY IN BALANCE PRACTICE THIS) :read: EDZ also reminded us to think "heavy and smooth,)
and that club will crash Down on that little ball as you Pivot back!

This is really, really great, Streak.

Just substitute the words 'Clubhead Lag' -- the inertia of the Lagging Sweet Spot which does not want to go along with you -- for the word 'Shaft' and you've got it.

Homer: "It [the Lag] just sags in there [the meaty part of the Right Forefinger]. It goes along because it has to. You don't throw the Club: You drag it through like a baby brother."

You CAN get the proper sequence by doing the 'club throwing' drill, it is a very useful drill, but you still need to add lag pressure to that equation. No doubt that a drag feel, the towel drill, is a wonderul way to feel this.

Heck, you can do this by simply taking a t-shirt or towel and swinging it - swing back WAIT for it to hit you (near the center of your shoulders/back), and DRAG through - let it hit you, again near 'center' - back and through, back and through - a great tempo trainer, as well as lag pressure

Learning the feel of lag pressure was the single best thing I have learned from TGM, with the possible exception of DOWN, down, down

feel those pressure points in your hands

Until coming to this site, I had no knowledge of LAG or LAG PRESSURE! :crybaby:

Over the last several weeks I have been playing with Hitting since Yoda showed me his HITTING WHICH SHOOK THE NEIGHBORHOOD! YODA DID NOT SHOW ME HOW TO HIT BECAUSE I AM DAMAGED AND CAN ONLY HANDLE SO MUCH NEW STUFF IN ANY 12 HOUR PERIOD! :)

Ok, so I learned Swinging but I wanted to try Hitting. Yoda is very inspirational and I felt like I could swim to Australia or Denmark after Yoda finished with me! :laughing1

So I MIXED THE LITTLE I KNOW OF HITTING WITH THE GOOD SWINGING INSTRUCTION I GOT FROM YODA. :crybaby: :naughty: :(

I WANT IT ALL NOW!!!!! I HAVE SEEN THE MAN AND I WANT TO BE LIKE THE MAN OK? :eyes:

BUT I AM NOT WORTHY! :hand:

Ok there are some things in your post that would definately suggest mixing.

First of all do not trust feel, you must get this on video or get an AI to help out hands on.

First off the pivot motion for hitting, imagine this:

tip over into your normal golf stance, point your right fist at the golf ball, pull the arm back and drive it forward as if to punch the golf ball. This is not meant to demonstrate the arm motion of hitting, rather the pivot motion... The right shoulder pulls back and gets into that backstop position you have probably seen people write about, it then drives down in a straight line at the ball.

Now you say that your hands get above your shoulder height, this is quite dangerous territory to go into when trying to hit, to be able to drive the club with the right arm, the hands must first drop back down to shoulder height, instead of doing this, most people pull the club down from the get go, once the pull has started there can be no push/drive. So basically you have setup to hit, gone back with a no roll type feel in the backswing, yet there is a pull to start down, and all of a sudden more closing is being added to the face on the way down and the ball goes left.

Hitting can be so simple and effective, but it is imperative you actually make sure you are hitting and driving that arm, not mixing motions.

To recap:

Take that onplane right flying wedge straight up plane (no roll) to a position where your hands are around the height of your right shoulder, right shoulder should now be in a backstop type position. From there the right shoulder drives down at the ball providing the initial thrust, this thrust is transferred into the right arm which continues to DRIVE down and out. From there on it is happy days

There is probably some more that can be added, but I am sure the masters of the HIT Yoda and Ted can add some good info on top of this and fill in my mistakes

I understand the limitations of not having a camera etc,, I guess you will just have to LOOK LOOK LOOK a bit more carefully

Pulling back your arm as if to punch: this is why I said in my post, this is purely to display a hitters right shoulder movement, not arm movement... So forget where the hands are in that example and check out what your right shoulder is doing.

Check out Yoda's right arm holies and polies video the main site to get and good idea of what the arms (specifically the right arm) should be doing around the release interval.

With your question, initially the crossline hip slide takes up the slack in the shoulder girdles, it is not a dramatic slide. The right shoulder then drives until the elbow is back on plane and the hands are at about release height, the right arm absorbs the thrust of the right shoulder and the right arm continues this drive right on through the ball.

I really like the simplicity of the idea of trying to punch the ball on the ground with your right fist owing to my troubled upbringing in Chicago. :laughing9

THE HANDS MUST GO STRAIGHT UP-PLANE AND BACK STOPPING AT THE SHOULDER OR YOU ARE GOING TO CONFUSE YOUR MACHINE TO DRAG THE LAG INSTEAD OF DRIVING OR PUNCHING THE LAG STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE BALL!

I HAVE DONE THIS CORRECTLY A COUPLE OF TIMES BUT THE PRECISION MUST BE MASTERED FOR YOU TO GET CONSISTENT DISTANCES OR YOU WILL FLY WELL OVER THE GREENS AND SIMPLY GIVE MONEY TO YOUR PLAYING PARTNERS. :crybaby:

http://youtu.be/vVws0CQqTDc

I would like to understand this technique because I think it is a power source.

Originally posted by Matthew

Drag Loading is the Rope Handle Technique of the “Swinger,” an out-and-out PULL, striving to accelerate the Clubshaft lengthwise, from a quick start Down to Release. Start the Club down as though it were being drawn from a quiver like an arrow – feathered end first. Maintain this motion until the Release switches ends. This is possible only if, and for as long as, Inertia can hold the Clubhead inside the arc of the Hands or hold to a Line Delivery Path (2-L) Centrifugal Force will set in when the Clubhead crosses to the outside and it will begin to pull into its own incidental orbit per 2-P and 2-K#5. Then further acceleration can be applied only at pressure Point #1 to support the Pull on the Clubshaft – especially for the Short Shot Power.

Develop an “Instant Acceleration” Hip Action” (to the Desired Hand speed per 10-15-B) so that the Throw Out Action (6-B-3) can immediately set up the Rhythm and take over the rest of the Downsroke sequence (6-M-1). See 2-K and 6-F-0. With or without Wristcock, always Drag (or Pull 10-3-D) a swinging club Down Plane – even with only centrifugal (Angular) Momentum (2-K)See 10- 23-C

For Clubhead Throwaway Prevention, monitor the pull of Centrifugal Force and the Drag of the Lagging Clubhead.

Let the research begin! :laughing9

Can we talk more about this. I have trouble understanding exactly what this feeling is like.

Your "feel" will be based on the proper execution of the "mechanics".

Will extensor action from the top without uncocking your left wrist put you in this " quiver" like position?

Yes.

I just want to make sure this doesn't create casting.

If you define casting as unintended early release of the left wrist cock, rest easy. Longitudinal acceleration of the club shaft doesn't adversely affect left wrist cock.

If you associate casting with the right shoulder moving around and over the plane angle instead of down plane, that would be associated with the improper execution of the hip turn.

This also means don't pull the butt of the club towards your aiming point right?

In fact, it exactly means to pull the clubshaft down the face of the Plane Angle in a straight line towards your Aiming Point. This Sraight Line Delivery Path (7-23) is Homer's recommended component (10-23-C) for Swinging.

ALso, what does the right shoulder do?

At the Start Down, the Right Shoulder accelerates briefly due to Hip Turn and the resulting Axis Tilt. It then continues to move down the plane angle (2-H) to allow the hands in their correct Impact Alignments to move down the Delivery Path , down through Impact, down through Low Point to reach Follow Through.

I am just trying to understand what I am suppose to be feeling once I do my hip slide to start the downswing.

I hope this helps.

Thanks!!

Many of you read our posts and we like that. I have to tell you that once upon a time, I was an ordained Presbyterian minister. I am no longer. You would think that being a member of such a community is all "sweetness and light." I can assure you it is not. I am literally writing a book about my experiences redemptive, but really awful. :rolleyes:

In stark contrast, I am a school teacher and member of this site, and I attend Al-anon because of the many alcoholics in my life. That group, this site, and my inner-city kids are some of the most genuine and helpful people I have ever met.

Those of you that only read the site are missing a real gift. it is the dead of summer and the pros here are making a living giving, I hope, a thousand lessons or competing with other serious competitors to grow as golfers. :golf: So they are a little slower to answer than in the winter.

But here's the point of this missive. SEARCH OUR FORUMS AND ASK US QUESTIONS BECAUSE WE GROW TOO, WHEN WE ANSWER. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO SHOOT SUB-PAR IS IN OUR FORUMS IN THE PAST. :) BE PATIENT, USE US AND BENEFIT SO WE CAN BENEFIT, TOO.

How would I get to par shooting quickly? Schedule a lesson with Lynn or someone he designates in your area. THESE GUYS KNOW HOW TO GOLF AND HOW TO TEACH! YOU WILL NOT WASTE MONEY! TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU LEARN HERE AND WE WILL HELP REMIND YOU OF THE MANY INSIGHTS YOU WILL BE EXPOSED TO.

ROPE HANDLE TECHNIQUE- after you have done the MacDonald marching drills in BALANCE and learned the Right Forearm Takeaway with moderate Extensor Action you need to educate your Hands/Clamps and use your Arms as your Pivot starts you Down or you will lack real Power and Precision though you will have modestly improved perhaps to the low 80's or even high 70's. To me, that is a waste of time as a final destination though a good rest stop along the proverbial Route 66.

THE ROPE HANDLE TECHNIQUE as I understand it now from Daryl, and OB, and KevCarter and as I have seen it done by YODA and several gifted people he has taught is PRECISE AND MOY INCREDIBLE!

PIVOT IN BALANCE, TRACE THE BASELINE OF THE PLANE TO SHOULDER HEIGHT (pretend your a native American saying HOW with right hand stopping In front of your back shoulder), PIVOT DOWN AND ONCE YOU FEEL THE PP # 2 OR PP # 3 LOAD WITH LAG, USE YOUR LEFT HAND TO HAMMER YOUR FISTS AT THE BALL-KARATE CHOP OR SMOOTHLY DRAG THAT ROPE TO THE BALL AND YOUR FINISH SWIVEL WILL BE ASSURED AND "YOUR SHOTS WILL ACT A WHOLE LOT DIFFERENTLY!" I will add the "Vertically Uncocking Left Wrist video later since filters are preventing me now. :study: :idea:

When Lynn showed me how to putt he put me On Plane in Balance with my Right Forearm and my Right Elbow was always bent. (When I miss a putt it is a speed mistake.) :hello2:

When Lynn showed me how to chip, he put me On Plane in Balance with my Right Forearm and my Right Elbow was always bent. (This technique has saved me 20 strokes a round!) ( I used my Hogan lob wedge, pitching wedge, 8 and 9 irons, yesterday.The technique is so dependable, that my mind is not use to the ball flying so straight and true yet, and it cost me four strokes yesterday. LOL) :occasion:

When Lynn showed me how to MacDonald March and lift my left foot, he put me On Plane in Balance with my Right Forearm and my Right Elbow was always bent. :sunny:

Every club has its own Plane. Every club has its own Plane of Glass. Lynn showed me how to get On Plane in Balance with my Right Forearm and my Right Elbow was always bent.

When my Right Elbow is bent, assuming good grip and balance, I can score, in fact, anyone can score! :thumright

My question: I have a powerful feel with PP#3. I preach to my friends the importance of PP#3 with a bent right wrist. I call it my ping pong paddle pressure point.
Oh yes, the question: Am I fooling myself in concentrating on swing applications with such powerful PP#3 applied to the ball?

Yoda,

Quote:

At address, Larry Nelson -- "Hogan with a smile" -- has always set up with his Hands in their Impact Location and Alignments.

Would that include an on-plane Right Forearm?

"You got it! Swingers Pull the Club down behind them just like it is a piece of string. They crank up the Gyroscope of the Circling Clubhead, keep their Right Arm passive, and then let Centrifugal Force do the rest of the work. Hitters start out Pulling, too, but once their Right Shoulder has supplied the initial Thrust, they start Pushing against the back of the Shaft -- just like it was an Axe Handle -- and they use their Active Right Arm and Elbow to Drive the Club through Impact. That's one reason, by the way, you like those very stiff Shafts. They're great to Push against."

So much to read, I'm trying to catch up.

So a hitter could use a pulling "rope pull" action to start the downswing? This is what I feel and used as a swing thought at first, when I start the swing. At what point, as with Larry Nelson, would the right shoulder take over? Would the hands be reaching the right thigh? Does Els do this too? He has a tremendous straight line to the ball with his right arm, some days I think he swings, other days he hits. The fact that he looks some smooth throws preception off.

I was afraid when I wrote that "the Hitter starts out pulling, too"that the action would be misinterpeted and, like Job of the Old Testament,"my fears have come to pass."

The Golf Stroke is always a Left Arm Stroke as long as the Left Shoulderserves as the Center of the Clubhead Arc. In that sense, both Hitters andSwingers must 'Pull' from the Top (8-6) of the Stroke. However, the Swinger'slong Backstroke typically goes to the End (10-21-C), and then he Pullsthe Club down like it was a piece of string trailing behind him. Then,having cranked up the Gyroscope of the orbiting Clubhead, he 'hangs on' asCentrifugal Force Powers the Club through Impact. The Hitter'sBackstroke, on the other hand, typically ends at the Top (10-21-A) whenhis Right Elbow has become completely Bent. Then, after the initial Downstroke ShoulderAcceleration (8-7), he accelerates the Club by Pushing against theClubshaft as if it was an Axe Handle.

At the Top then, the Hitter resists the Inertia of the moving Club (whichwants to continue On Plane Up, Back and In). This resistance to the ClubheadInertia causes the Lag Pressure to Load against the No. 3 Pressure Point and iscalled Drive Loading (10-19-A). Once the Right Shoulder has provided theinitial Downstroke Acceleration (2-M-4), the Hitter begins his Right Arm Pushing,Driving Motion through Impact. The Swinger, on the other hand, with hislonger End Backstroke, allows the Club to come to rest against the firstknuckle of the Right Hand. He then Loads the Lag Pressure against thatPoint by Pulling the Club down lengthwise -- Drag Loading (10-19-C).

At the Top then, the Hitter has not changed in the slightest his ImpactFix alignments, i.e., Left Wrist Flat and Right Wrist Bent. Therefore, theClubshaft has maintained its position against the No. 3 Pressure Point, and theShaft is still pointing skyward. The Swinger, on the other hand, Turns(4-C-2) his Left Hand against the Plane in the Backstroke (Standard Left WristAction of 10-18-A). He typically goes to parallel (and perhaps beyond),and this has caused the Clubshaft to Load down against the first knuckle of theRight Hand. This Action gives the Swinger the Feel of having Rotated the LeftWrist and Lag Pressure Point one-quarter Turn in the Backstroke.

The Hitter, on the other hand, feels no such Rotation. Instead, he sensesHomer's "Hitter's Guiding Principle:"

"At the Top, you should feel that absolutely nothing has changed inyour Impact Fix Wrist alignments and that you are in perfect postion to Slapthe Ball with the palm of your Right Hand."

The Swinger, having Rotated his Left Wrist in the Backstroke, then maintainsthat position through the Start Down, Downstroke and Release. This is the Swinger's'Left Hand Karate Chop' to the Ball. The Action of this Left Hand 'PalmDown' to the Plane' surface actually overrides the 'natural action' ofthe Hitter's constant On Plane Rolling from the Top (caused by theTurning of the Body and the Swinging of the Arms and Hands). The Swinger'sRotation must ultimately be reversed -- this is the function of the Swivel-- in order to restore the Impact Fix alignments.

The Hitter needs no such Swivel because his Left Hand has been Closing from thetime it left the Top in Start Down. From Release, he simply Drives his RightArm through Impact in a Straight Line Motion.

If you are thinking that there is a lot more going on with Swinging thanwith Hitting, you are right. If you are thinking that Hitting, oncemastered, can be the superior alternative, you may be right there, too.It's all about personal preference. I, for one, feel more far more incontrol and am decidedly more accurate Hitting. The reason is that youare never out of your Impact Fix Alignments. And as for Homer:

"You'll all become Hitting Nuts."

Regarding Ernie Els, I have personally never seen him Hit. He Loads to Swing,and then he does.

My emphasis.

Flailing Away at golfing greatness on the right side of the fairway

Now that my understanding of quality GOLF instruction has increased through Lynn Blake and the LBG GOLF, I have discovered the beauty of Flailing Away in Balance.

Consider this video gem from Yoda:

http://youtu.be/EDNCLchMYRI

When I fully Pivot and my left heel feels to rise, and owing to my longer right leg, I feel as if I am automatically shifting closer to the ball and balancing with a Stationary Post centering a Tripod. My Flail Loads with Lag.

It took me awhile to accept that Centrifugal Force will easily throw my Left Wrist and Lag at the ball and that I need do nothing to try to restrict the Throw. The Pivot places my Power Package exactly on Plane. My only concern is Vertically Un-cocking and Rolling on Plane to a Balanced Finish.

I had read Hogan's "Five Lessons" many times and now have re-read Mr. Trolio's "Final Missing Piece." With my correct Grip and Mid-Body Hands Lagging the club with the Pivot only and no pick-up, and with my shifting forward, I realized that I could trust Mr. Trolio's concept of Rotation and Hogan's ball position to deliver my Flail to the back of the ball and eliminate my draw!

All shots off my left instep by two inches and Foot position determined by the club as in Hogan's drawing (short club = open stance and longer clubs square or closed). I let my right leg move me closer to the ball Lagging Hands up, and Rotate my Belt Buckle or tilt my front shoulder up a tad and the clubs crack the ball mostly straight or with a slight fade and long. :)

The Club Face is square but the closer ball position does not allow the Horizontal Hinge to fully bite and the ball is struck in the inside left quadrant or directly back center to good effect with club hook-face. :)

No draw, just center or slight fade at the end of a penetrating ball flight. :golf:

Thanks LBG!

Having put the pieces of the Swing together with Lynn's help, and the LBG community, I now can understand some advice Daryl gave me about eight months ago and Lynn mentions on several tapes, which I will post later.

The Firm Left Wrist is grasped, gasp, by the FIRM hold of the last three fingers of the Left hand at Address, PP # 2. It stays Firm throughout the Swing to the very Finish, It "forces" the Forearm Rotation (Accumulator # 3) and is crucial to proper Rhythm (the overtaking of the club by the hands) or Finish Swivel of the Left Forearm and it is as Lynn says "your bullet-proof vest for the links," which is his "Driver Hitting Video."

The Firm Left Wrist stops Impact by Swivel (QUACK!) :laughing9 and like PP # 3, magnifies your Golfing Machine's Precision and Power! :read:

Taking lessons from Lynn has made my life so much easier and will enhance my fun visiting TGM ers in MN, WI, IL and all over the world!

Getting a firm grip on Swinging!

Your first three analytical paragraphs are absolutely correct. You have doneyour homework and are to be congratulated for being 'on the money.'

You have accurately described the pure Swinging Motion. It features a TurnedLeft Wrist on the Backstroke; a 'Karate Chop' Uncocking Left Wrist fom the Top;a Swiveling Left Wrist from Release into Impact; the Full Roll Feel of LeftHand Horizontal Hinge Action to the Follow-Through (Both Arms Straight); andfinally, the Left Wrist Swivel into the Finish. The Left Wrist is The Lordof the Grip, and therefore, as you have correctly observed, the RightWrist is a complement to these Left Wrist Actions. See the UsefulCombinations 5-A/B/C/D.

So, you don't feel "Underhand Pitch Motion and Feel' doing all thatTurning, Cocking, On Plane Karate Chopping, Uncocking, Swiveling, Rolling andSwiveling again?? I bring glad tidings...

Who would?

Nobody!

The 'Underhand Pitch' part of the Pure Swing -- which concentrates on the LeftWrist Action described above -- just ain't there!

Unless, of course, you can somehow sense the Feel of the Full Roll ofHorizontal Hinge Action -- which is a 'No Roll' Feel on its own HorizontalPlane -- as an Underhand Pitch. But I seriously doubt you or anyone else can,because the fact is that it Feels like a Full Roll on the Angled Plane ofMotion.

So, where's the disconnect between what you are able to Feel and what Homer isdescribing in 2-N-0? Here's the key:

You must focus on your Right Forearm Flying Wedge (6-B-3-0-1). When youdo, you will see that its On Plane Right Forearm and its Bent RightWrist and its No. 3 Pressure Point and its Rigid ClubshaftExtension moves through Impact as a Paddlewheel (6-B-1-0). Thestraightening of the Right Elbow -- under the command of the Left Arm CheckreinAction -- powers, guides and regulates the No. 3 Accumulator (Left Forearm andClubshaft Angle) and with it the Clubhead Closing through Impact.

Even though the Left Wrist precisely aligns the Swinger's Clubface forHorizontal Hinging, the Paddlewheel Action of the Right Forearm is there.Per 4-D-0, the Swinger concentrates on Wrist Action and the Hitterconcentrates on Hand Action. If you want to sense Underhand Pitch,Motion and Feel, you must focus on Right Arm and Frozen Bent Right WristPaddlewheel Action, not the Swinger's Uncocking, Swiveling and Rolling LeftWrist Action.

Here's how to do that:

Get your Sand Wedge (or, better yet, a wooden dowel you can buy in any hardwarestore [48" X 1/4" diameter]). Grip it with your Right Hand only (inits normal positon on the Shaft). Go to Fix. Body shifted Left and PivotZeroed out. Right Wrist Bent with Shaft leaning forward ('againstthe Ball'). Now, keeping your Right Wrist Bent, take the Club up with a BendingRight Elbow and Magical Right Forearm Takeaway (7-3). Go no further Backthan Right Forearm Level to the ground (Acquired Motion 12-5-2). Better yet, stopat Basic Motion, two feet back per 12-5-1. Then, go through no further thanknee high (12-5-1 or waist high (12-5-2).

Check your Right Wrist. It has Flattened, right? Well, it should not have! Itshould still be Bent! Do this one-arm drill over and over again untilyou can go from your initial Fix position Bent Right Wrist to the Topto the end of the Follow-Through with your Right Wrist still Bent.Hit the first fifty Balls in your next five practice sessions with just yourRight Arm Flying Wedge. No more than about 20-25 yards. That's all! No GoldStars for distance! Gold Stars for finishing with a Bent Right Wrist at the endof your Follow-Through (Both Arms Straight Position). In other words, per4-D-1, you must learn to Straighten your Right Arm without Flattening yourRight Wrist. Practice also with your dowel on the Horizontal Plane per mypost last night ('Keeping You Busy') in the Five Steps To A Magical RightForearm Flying Wedge thread. As you learn to do this, you will suddenlyfind that you Feel...

Right Arm Underhand Pitch, Motion and Feel.

Congratulations!

You are becoming a G.O.L.F.er!

From the Top, drive the #3 Pressure Point in a Straight Line DownplaneDelivery Path (10-23-A) directly at and through the inside-aft quadrantof the Ball (or any alternative Aiming Point). Trust that the Sweet Spot willtake precisely the same Path. It will not complain; it will only comply. Why?

Three Types of Lag

...with players who have incredible clubhead lag (for eg. on the downswing w/ Hogan, or Garcia), does that mean they are NOT bending their right wrist greater than impact fix (and impact) during the swing?

Two quick points:

First, the Left Wrist cocks (4-B-2) but the Right Wrist never does.It remains Bent (4-A-2) and Level (4-B-1) throughout the Stroke. This maintainsthe precision alignment and structure of the Power Package (6-B-3-0-1).

Second, there are three types of Lag (6-C-0):

(1) Pivot Lag;

(2) Accumulator Lag; and

(3) Clubhead Lag.

The "Clubhead Lag" that you refer to with Hogan and Garcia is AccumulatorLag. Both men have Clubhead Lag. And Pivot Lag, too. But the trailing ofthe Club behind the Hands is not Clubhead Lag. This is a widely heldmisconception, even among long-time students of The Golfing Machine.

Nothing in The Star System of G.O.L.F. is more important than Lag. Andyet the separate identities of the three types are not generally known, muchless differentiated. Time permitting, I hope to post on this very importanttopic in the reasonably near future.

I was so mystified by the correct grip and Mid-Body hands, that I forgot to form my wedges with my left arm elevated above my right. Umm, I was off Plane all day and over the top or under the Plane. I saw places on my golf course I have never seen before. :crybaby:

Note to self: Correctly formed Flying Wedges mean your club is on the Elbow Plane, your Right Forearm is on the Elbow Plane, and the ball can be struck effectively ON THE ELBOW PLANE!!!! :BangHead:

It is not rocket science! :(

Here comes some quotes from the book:

"without the Key of Educated Hands per Chapters 4 and 5, more information only means more confusion."
"The Hands are the “Command Post” for all Feel processing."
" Educate your Hands (9-0) to execute the Delivery Path "
"key to control of the Golf Club is Educated Hands."

Well you get it.

With a zero pivot, you must educate your hands.

Don´t you think that Homer would have recommended a little pivot in the basic motion, if he thought that IT(the pivot) would be to an advantage for the process of educating the hands?

It is a whole other story if there are ANY tourplayer that chips/pitchs with zero pivot.

But trust me on this one - they have EDUCATED HANDS

48,46
41,39

My driver started to roll out more than 270 yards and my start down waggles have been huge. When this clicked for my swing, I suddenly found myself under mature trees and out of fairways. :crybaby: I started being more selective with my driver use and my 53 shrunk to a 42.

A flat left wrist with a correct grip, standard address, mid -body hands, and the left-right-left of the MacDonald drills are components. Balance and start-down waggles followed by balance are other essentials.

I practice putts and putting chips with alignment rods.

Putting this stuff to good use is such a dream come true, eh City? Who ever woulda thunk guys like us would be hitting through the fairway and over the green. Never in my life have I ever hit it too far. Geesh! I even use the 4-wood (ditched the 3 wd.) and hybrids off the tee on tight holes.

On another note, Tuesday I watched a little of Kev Carter giving a lesson to the 20 yr. old son of a friend of mine. In a few minutes the kid was hitting laser like wedges and 8 irons.
I saw the dad at the golf course Thursday and he said the kid still hasn't wiped the smile off his face. He ran home, grabbed his dad and took him to the range to show him.

Martin Chuck is a member here, wonderful teacher and a great guy. The majority of his teaching fits right in with YODA. There are MANY great players with strong grips Patrick, Homer gave us tons of options, use what works for you, just so it fits with your other selected components. Just always keep that great foundation you put together with YODA. If you start to feel lost, refer to those great videos he put together with you!
