Balance and Purpose!
Longest lever moves with the greatest force!
I have decided to choose my components a bit and rely this week on my RFT or left knee to the ball, slowly, and then a slow right knee at the ball as my only swing thoughts, that and the "Impact Waggle" so I can KNOW my ball flight. :read: I am feeling tremendous balance with RFT and right knee trigger! This week, I will manipulate the club face open to avoid any draw whatsoever. :thumleft: Thanks to BerntR's wet sand TQ "I will not fear the valley of wet sand for my pitching wedge or 52 degree wedge or are with me and my Higher Power loves me and has a sense of humor!" :laughing1 Plus I have been to Cuscowilla and the Waffle House as well as had good fellowship with KevCarter, JerryG, and RodgerDodger. 03-02-2005, 02:11 PM EdZ Lynn Blake Certified Instructor Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Qingdao, China Posts: 1,639 As with Hogan's right knee move - when you take the 'slack' out, you have in a very real way "lengthened" the lever - in fact at both arms straight I can often literally feel the 'full line' of the train - from my right foot, all the way through my body, to impact. Supporting impact along the 'entire' train. A good drill is to move from impact fix to the finish with 'high hands' - trying to get your hands as far away from your right ankle as you can, such that you have a bit of 'Saturday Night Fever' - a diagonal line from your hands to your right ankle. Choo, chooo...... all aboard! Drive that train - from the ground up, just like a pitcher does. __________________ "Support the On Plane Swinging Force in Balance" "we have no friends, we have no enemies, we have only teachers" Simplicity buffs, see 5-0, 1-L, 2-0 A and B 10-2-B, 4-D, 6B-1D, 6-B-3-0-1, 6-C-1, 6-E-2 03-02-2005, 02:11 PM EdZ Lynn Blake Certified Instructor Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Qingdao, China Posts: 1,639 As with Hogan's right knee move - when you take the 'slack' out, you have in a very real way "lengthened" the lever - in fact at both arms straight I can often literally feel the 'full line' of the train - from my right foot, all the way through my body, to impact.

Lots of tech stuff including 20n stolen laptops as Principal decided to send kids unsupervised to computer labs over the last 5 days! Of course I warned him and the teaching staff 2 months ago...:hand: Anyway post rain shower, rainbow, awesome 70's and low humidity...great day to hit a few started with RFT Basic Motion and right knee to inner quadrant of ball controlling distances 2ft back, pitches, 130 yard goalposts, and Acquired Motion from Impact Fix. Did lots of irons, hybrids, woods, always near or through goalposts or on line 50 yards. 100 yards, 130 and full shot. Very balanced. :golf: Realized after one bucket I could trust my right knee as an automatic trigger so much that I should reallly fire it through the ball and let it carry me around with full force! Impact Waggles showed me ball flight and 9 irons were bouncing at 135-140 yards and straight. Bounced the driver at 240 and had rollouts to 250. Kept Left wrist flat but kept carrying it back higher and higher with no wrist roll and creamed the ball! Hit about 50 balls Tracing with Extensor Action as opposed to Impact Fix covering.. If I drove my right knee all the way through the ball and controlled the face by opening, I pounded the ball one more club and flight was more penetrating. But balance with Covering and right knee trigger was awesome! Hope to shoot a 75 on Saturday! Right thumb on left part of shaft pinching PP# 3 (better feel of being on Sweet spot plane), Impact Fix, waggle opening face, RFT and Right Knee. ICT |
Right knee firing = pivot = swinging ?

Swinging yes!

You're correct Etzwane. I love that simple automatic firing. ICT |
Integration of TGM Insights

http://youtu.be/3Fma1bBv_aI http://youtu.be/Ku-Rz-GAP5c Add to this OB Left's fine explanation of the importance of "Alignments in Motion." http://lynnblakegolf.com/forum/thread7767-364.html Add to that Lynn's lifelong teaching of the importance of training all three zones, Pivot, Arms and Hands. Every item Lynn teaches is a distillation of years of thoughtful insight into G.O.L.F. I can't tell those reading this how hard Lynn works to communicate with his students. First day, grip adjustment (strong single action) and MacDonald Marching and every day Lynn just blows you away with insights you might never figure out in any other way! :read: Further study and practice however, as any teacher knows, is essential for mastery. In the last several weeks I have hit some good scores but in doing so I became aware of the limits of my technique. "Effortless Power" demands solid technique. Pros and talented amateurs work hard for years mastering efficient techniques to get that "effortless power." I might shoot par someday on a hard, dry golf tract with every good bounce possible, but I simply could not hope to deliberately and realistically shoot par on a bad day and several under on a good day. My technique was limited. :eusa pray: In order to shoot my lowest scores, level left wrists in putting and chipping, as Lynn taught me, pretending my chips were putts, were essential. Sure enough, as OB described and Lynn teaches, the road to consistently great golf starts with MacDonald marching for either Swinging or Hitting. The right grip allows the correct "intentionality" to take effect. "Wheel Rim" = Swinging or "Paddle Wheel" =Hitting, which is easier or most effective? Lynn says both and the trick is to do them. Left knee to the ball, right knee to the ball gives all the power and wrist cocking a person could use and so much potential power is available! :exclaim: Intending to drive the "Paddle Wheel" from true Impact Fix with a strong single action grip means the right wrist has to to be bent and frozen and the left wrist flat. Covering is almost automatic. Adding left knee and right knee allows me to feel a deeply powerful delivery DOWN, Out and Forward of the Power Package. Left wrist is vertical and Bent right wrist is frozen bent stiffening the right forearm. The right knee moving to the ball leads the Power Package DOWN and that Angle Hinge demands a manipulated closed club face but all the power needed is available TIME AFTER TIME! :dance: Instead of being fatigued after 30 balls, I felt refreshed AS LONG AS MY SET-UP WAS CORRECT. Intending to spin the "Wheel Rim," from Mid-Body hands. Tracing is almost automatic. Left knee right knee and throwing the left wrist through the Forward Swivel feels like cracking the whip and the Horizontal Hinge really closes and really powers the ball strongly. On Sunday, I hit some of the longest drives of my life exactly where I wanted to and was 50 yards ahead of some of drives hit by my playing companions. It almost felt today like I could open my face of my driver almost 45 degrees and then a little less and really let fly at the ball and still hit a straight shot or slight fade or draw. Again, no fatigue due to the MacDonald Marching. The club felt like it was coming from well behind me with lots of extension and power. It seems like even the slightest left knee bend toward the ball fully cocks the left wrist and gives me lots of time to bend the right knee toward the ball and slower seems very balanced. Thanks guys. The TGM system is comprehensive and is built from the ground up! ICT |
Wheel Rim lift lift, anyone?

Level Wrists for putting and putting chips and steep "v's" in front of me (not too inside) for sand escapes should help me escape "80 something scores." :occasion: We'll see! |

I believe my artificial hip and front leg shortness demands a full drive of my right knee that actually seems to balance me out. Was it Homer who said that "Power golf is precision golf?" It is so good to feel relaxed, head down and moving freely beneath myself to paraphrase Mr. Jones. :golf: One of the things I did well last Sunday was get every hip and pitch into the air albeit too short most times. This week, I will really try to get each chip and pitch into a three foot circle. I have to remember what Lynn showed me about using the club that will get me to the edge of the green than run all the way to preview the putt and get it close. :idea1: Level Left wrist adds simplicity and dependability to the plane on ever shot especially the chips and putts! Necessary for a straight chip or putt! ICT |
Hmmm...Will have to investigate!

My question is this... would aiming my hands to a location and not aiming the clubhead "at the ball" assist me in striking down on the ball during a full swing. The aiming point concept is something I find vague but I believe has (or could have) tremendous value. I'm very frustrated in the quality of contact with my full swing and lose a lot of distance and have a higher than "should be" ball flight because (I believe) of my inability to consistently hit down on the ball.
