Short thumb + Mid Body hands + MacDonald Drills = Longer Drives
 

Short thumb/Hogan grip starting with the left index finger last joint allows right elbow to ride up my right side as I Pivot and "snap" as I Pivot down producing a much more penetrating and faster ball flight. The ball disappears much more quickly and the Apex of my Swing and Hitting procedure with range balls was consistently, more than 10 tries, well past the 200 yard markers! Woo hoo! :golfcart:


I can see a large difference between the flight of an Angle Hinge and Horizontal Hinge work in height of distance and turning over versus dropping to the right! So cool!:golf:

Silly Rabbit Moment # 4000 -Ball position
 

I just found this quote and it made so much sense I was dumbfounded.

The quote was by Ted Fort regarding Hitting and is found here:

http://lynnblakegolf.com/forum/thread192-2.html

With the proper short thumb grip, Hitting from Impact Fix (a slight opening of the front hip), or Swinging, the ball position should determine a whole heck of a lot!

Off to the range will report later! :salut:

ICT

Range report-It's a hit!
 

Impact Fix-front hip open/RFT- blade is closed/elbow comes straight down driving and compressing! The ball does not dream of looking left! Ball at middle of stance or forward. Draws happen with ball back of middle.

Swinging is better too as I pivot up to the front toe of front foot! Felt a very strong wrist cock at top and saw increased DOWN asI followed the MacDonald drill moving feet! Ball leaps off the club (short thumb). :)

Step in at Right Angles to the line right forearm on Plane-Delivery Line Prep -Do you see it? Are you prepared to un-cock on that line? Are you prepared to roll on that line?

Plane line, stability, extensor action!


So smooth and so powerful, time and time again with a correct grip! I do have a question though for Hitting. When I shift to move my shoulder closer to the Base line of the Plane, do I fire at the line when I reach my low point? :confused:

Answer?

Monitor the Delivery Path of the Hands or Trace the base Line of the Plane. :read:

JB Homes please
 

I think this is a type of Hitting/"Crap Smacking" /Lynn with the Impact Bag type of deal but with the proper short thumb grip, covering the Base Line of the Plane with the club with my back elbow always in front of my body and club decidedly closed, I can step and fire my right arm to my left big toe shooting to Both Arms straight well ahead of the Ball! :read:

I think I am using a "bat stroke" and I hit a sand wedge 105 yards consistently tonight. Driver bounced for the first time at 230 yards and seemed to stay in the air forever.

I felt like I was doing this:

and this:

with all my pressure points behind the shaft!

It seemed when I straightened my back leg then pivoted on my front heel before shooting my hands straight I might have been using all my stuff! I felt like I only took the club back to parallel with the ground then just shot my arms through!

Silly rabbit moment # 4004
 

Look, look, look! I work hard as many of you do on this hobby and yesterday my prayers for clarity were answered in a big way? :golfing_banana:

Look carefully at the banana! It's head is stationary through impact!

Watching Lynn and Mr. Saunders and Kathy swing or hit was weird my friends. From far away, you could only see the slightest movements and their head was so quiet and the ball fired like a rocket! :idea1:

Inverse relationships anyone? The Tripod must be still for the club to shoot down-plane like a Nordic bobsled, Air. :read:

Short thumb grip. Quiet hands, feet and knees but not perfectly still, get it? I do now. Why does the MacDonald feet together drill work for everyone? Buehler? Anyone? Because the head is stationary and the torso is quietly, slightly, moving compared to my lurching, hulking basic efforts. Less is way more times 1000! :happy3: :exclaim:

I can and will prove this upon your persons ( Le Morte D'Artur).

LOOK!

My club has never moved faster with Swings or Hits! If my head is set at Impact Fix or between the feet equidistant for the Swing, I can watch the greased lightening of the shot go down through the ball and be pulled to finish!

I want the decoder ring! :) :read:


Just for giggles!

Impact fix + stable head= 2 clubs more!
 

Quick update. 4 pars on front including a 421 par 4 and 4 pars on back on a par 71 for an 89. Three trips and 4 doubles due to an errant tee shot and airmailing three greens with 100 yard plus sand wedges or really long 8 and 9 irons like 140 yard 9's and 150 yard 8"s. Temp 60 degrees and spotty showers!

Nutted the ball Hitting quite often. No putting skills and moderate chips but putting is coming.

On the range 4/3/12
 

Head stuck against the wall and hands back on shoulder plane with slight push or drop the elbow and feel the hands whip through Ball goes straight with nice trajectory! Short thumb! Mid-body hands MacDonald moves freely beneath a stationary head! Ball position is always at my left hip! Runion putting and chips close in or elbow plane.

It is ok to even feel like I am looking at my right shoulder in practice to guarantee the imaginary wall so the vertical un-cocking of the left wrist can fire DOWN! It can even be a right elbow drop or a subtle push of PP # 3 down the plane! If I monitor the swinging of the hands, the hands must be thrown at the left foot! Swing the pen knife tied to the handkerchief!

Hitting works very well if head and shoulder remains at Impact Fix pressed against the wall. Fire the # 3 pressure point ball at left hip let the club catch the hands and fully straighten the left arm!

Thanks Lynn, Kevin, Gerry, Daryl, OB everyone! :laughing9

GolfCatty,

The correct Head position is established at Impact Fix (8-2; 7-. Oncedetermined, the Head should remain Stationary (the First Essential per2-0-A-1 and 1-L-1). Monitor your Impact Fix Head Location carefully. It willprobably be somewhat lower than your present position.

Most players do not maintain the Stationary Head. In fact, manyinstructors even advise that it should move off the Ball (to the right)as part of the Backstroke and Weightshift. Of course, that simply is not thecase for those who have trained themselves to execute the precision alignmentsof The Golfing Machine.

In addition to an improper Head position at Fix, and in many cases because ofit, the Machine is also vulnerable to the third and fourth Snares,Bobbing (3-F-7-C) and Swaying (3-F-7-D). Bobbing's henchman isthe faulty movement of the back or Knees (the Anchors per 7-16), while Swayingrelies on an incorrect weight shift due to a faulty Pivot. Study the sixPivot Components of Zone #1 (9-1) and Translate (per Chapter 3) their Mechanicsas quickly as possible into Identifiable Feels (Introduction). Per 1-L, "...masteryof the Pivot is so essential for good Golf."

Finally, monitor the position of the back at Address. Per 7-9:

"The back should be straight from the neck down--not rounded at thewaist. It is easier to control the rotation of a straight rod than a bentone."


More bonus coverage-this is the HOW TO!
