Re: downplane shoulder
 

Dear Ted,

Does the right shoulder stop thrusting or does it literally stop moving down the turned shoulder plane when the right arm starts extending? When I watch videos it seems that the right shoulder really never stops moving, but maybe it stops thrusting. Just need a little fog lifting :lol:

Re: uncocking left wrist
 

As Homer said, 'look, look, look.' Train it in a basic motion and look at the wrist. If the left wrist doesn't look uncocked, make it uncock and KEEP IT FLAT. Find that static position for which you're looking (the finish) which is follow-through for basic motion. Homer wouldn't even teach someone to make a total motion, if they couldn't achieve a chip with the proper components. Too many people try to grab the bull by the horns. Don't try new things in a total motion until they are mastered in a basic motion. There are bulls that when grabbed by the horns will slobber on you. Golf is one of those bulls.

Re: shoulder moving downplane
 

I feel as though my right forearm has to pass my body before I get to arrive at finish. If the right shoulder actively continues downplane the right arm can't catch up. It doesn't take much centrifugal force for the right arm to be draging instead of driving.[/quote]

If the right forearm passes the body to arrive at finish, is it fair to say that the pivot in hitting is not doing much yet? Are the hips still angled to right field while the right forearm crosses the chest? :?:

The right hip does stayed cleared in the startdown, 10-14-B, slide. This might give the sensation that they stay that way until impact, but in reality they do not.

Do you feel as though the hips are performing "action" or just "motion?" Do you sense that they are supplying power or just playing a supportive roll? :?:

I was working on my hitting motion this week and found that when I focused on my hands swinging past my chin before I fired the hips, I could really 'snap' the hips and thrust the right arm from impact to separation.

Perhaps what some have called the 'launching pad', which for me was very much felt as left hip and right forearm synchronized power through impact.

When Hitting with 10-5-E using Angled Hinging would the clubface be closed to the crossline plane at the Top, since Angled Hinging has a "no roll" feel? If so does Extensor Action merely drive the shut clubface to Aiming Point? :?:

Re: downplane shoulder
 

I'd be really careful about finding a pre-selected point in the downstroke to stop the shoulder. You're going down the road of distracting yourself from your hands. Give your hands an assignment first. Then see if your body accomodates.

Is there is way to determine how much divergence there is between the target line and the Crossline plane of 10-5-E when using different club? It seems as though the farther back in the stance the ball is placed the more Crossline the Delivery line will be.:???:

It's 10:13 do you know where your Right Forearm is?
 

Oh yeah. Go to Fix. Make sure your Right Forearm is On Plane. Imagine a line PARALLEL to your On Plane Right Forearm on the ground through the ball. There is your Angle of Approach Clubhead Delivery Line approximation. Notice that if you put the ball farther back in your stance, that parallel line is more "out to right field." Also, the Delivery Line is not relative to your STANCE line it is relative to your Right Forearm.

Also, if your using an Arc of Approach procedure, just imagine an Arc between your Plane Line and the line parallel to your right forearm.

To me this huge because you can see the inside out impact required by swinging on an INCLINED PLANE.
