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!

If we could teach Obama how to golf, maybe we could slip in some pointers on tax codes and job creation? :occasion:

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!

For the Golfer's purpose -- namely, aiming and controlling Thrust -- the #3Pressure Point IS the Sweet Spot. It is this 'Clubhead Feel' that rendersthe Clubhead itself irrelevant. Learn to totally disregard the Clubhead andinstead, hit the Ball with the Pressure Point(s). Until you can do this,you do not have Educated Hands (5-0).

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?

Because it is Law abiding!

Sweet spot and Lag

Three Types of Lag
FeverPowerful wrote:

...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.

A Plane Old Fashioned Beatin'

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! :(
