Ive tried benches, ropes, Explanars but never a full fledged plane board. Maybe Ill hit Home Depot this afternoon for some plastic and some 2x4's. My wife will really be busting my balatas over this one. In my second lesson with Lynn he said "ok show me a little cut shot". Then he said something like "interesting, that was a perfectly straight shot and a nice normal swing" . I used to get lessons from a pro who really wanted to see the hands appearing long before the left elbow from a DTL point of view in Finish. I'm thinking now that this promoted my David Graham type overswivel (and most likely off plane as you mention). That the left elbow ideally supports the on plane motion of the hands, as it does in the backswing. The right elbow opposite the#3pressure point's knuckle or the first joint at Top. If you had an "Up" The LIne point of view of the backswing you'd see the right elbow appear in much the same manner as Hogan and Lynn are displaying, no? Lynns goal posts in their formative stages, mirror images? Wait a minute, do you load the #3 again in Finish? Knuckle or joint depending on whether you eat corn dogs or not? But with the left elbow supporting, opposing? Never thought about this. My head hurts. Forget about that explanar deal . . . basically you are trying to lay the shaft (but really the longitudinal center of gravity) on the face of the plane the whole freakin' way basically from delivery to follow thru and beyond. YOu just need to check the way you look at video to see what's happening. Notice how hogan has kept his #3 angle in tact. D.G. not so much. So when you watch video you want to pay attention when the club STARTS DOWN. That's the downstroke plane . . . where are the hands entering the body coming down? Do that match on the other side? DO they come out lower or higher? really the should come out slightly higher due to the axis tilt caused by the hips going forward an up. But generally you want to see the hands come come out at or below the shoulder if the came down that way. Like Scott Hoch is high coming down and high going thru . . . on plane . . . Hogan is mid bicipept down and below the shoulder thru on plane . . . Graham is mid bicept . . thru the ear hole thru . . . shifted plane out. __________________ Aloha Mr. Hand Behold my hands; reach hither thy hand 12 piece bucket View Public Profile Send a private message to 12 piece bucket Find all posts by 12 piece bucket
