Arnie 1987

[6bmike]

Here is something you don't see everyday. I have been going through our library at work for a golf project and found this.

Arnie in 1987 at a Pro Am in the Philly area on a Par 3. Nice wedges, nice right forearm.

Look at the LEVEL right wrist. You can build a house with that level wrist.
Is he above the plane? Still classic alignments.

That is a classic picture man! If you look up Right Forearm Flying Wedge in the dictionary . . . this pic should be there. Both wedges are beautifully intact. You are spot on on the level right wrist. Also, check the #3 Pressure Point . . . You think there may just be a lil' bit of lag pressure there. Beautiful. I believe old A.P. could put some foolz to sleep with that stump of a right forearm.

Also check out the foot action. No pop up going on there. No wonder this dude won multiple Majors. Classic alignments.

Fantastic study 6b. How about that right elbow position?

Was that around the time he had a hole in one on the same hole two days in a row?

Look how the left hip has pulled out of the way. Looks more like a swing pivot than a hit pivot. His right forearm (elbow plane) is above plane.

Was Arnie a "pure" hitter? His hitting pattern is much different than what is being taught. I might have to pull out my Arnie video......

As a photographer I can safely say: STILLS LIE.


This is a short par three. I don't know if he threw out the clubhead from here with a snap release or drove a right arm thrust vertical hinge to right field.

I can guess the finish position- LOL.

Although his right forearm might be a bit above the plane, that is due to how much right arm bend he has retained and will likely result in a perfectly on-plane right forearm at impact once he has let go of 25% to 50% of his current right arm bend.
