Right elbow
 
I was at the range today and I believe that I have experienced a beginning of a journey along the TT-swing road. By firing the right forearm down and obliquely out to the right with a quiet body, I shot some of the best shots I have ever done with my 5 wood.

Which Hinge action did you feel? Did the pivot feel like a platform to push off. I sometimes feel like a side armed baseball pitcher doing this. The pivot kind follows the throwing motion.

6bmike! I canīt tell for sure which type of hinge I experienced. The swing just felt like an active straightening of the right elbow out and down to the right against a stable body which then responded by a pivot. I think that the hinging was horizontal.

Sounds like you were crushing them. :)

It is a great feeling.

As TT would say you're getting closer to the truth.

Pivot provides the outward motion at release. See 2-N-1, 7th edition.

DG . . . Could you expand on the above? I noticed that change from the 6th . . . What's the scoop?

I am playing with a right arm swinging motion, however the active whip action of the right arm leads me to keep the clubface open. I've had more success by just leading the swing with my right elbow and not actively trying to straighten the right arm, it just does so on it's own.

I'm sure I'm doing something incorrectly, that's keeping me from squaring the club, most likely I'm angled hinging instead of horizontal.

Open face with right arm swinging.
 
When that happens to me I immediately say "Whoops, didn't get it on plane at the top with flat left wrist" and/or I didn't throw it down on plane.
I tell myself "extensor action, right forearm pickup, straighten right elbow throwing it on plane, right into the ground."
Oh, yeah, trust it. Fat/thin shots are a timing issue, in my experience. The left side didn't respond correctly on the throw.

Is a flat left wrist still compulsory when hitting out and down by straightening of the right elbow?

Loren 03-29-2007 02:16 AM
Flat left wrist/bent right....imperative.
 
Yes. Flat left wrist is an imperative....throughout, into finish.
