Okie, what is the name of the book by Mr. Locke?
Do you know if it is on the market now?

Thanks, Donn

Thanks for the tip OB. I recently found that if i have insufficient waist bend at start up I tend to fight a shoulder turn takeaway. Standing too straight to the ball promotes a very flat arm swing i.e. no hint of RFA pick-up as they follow the shoulders in and around. My frustration with this is compounded by the current heat wave!

Or . . . you can buy an unsigned copy for as low as $12.00 here: http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/Sear...n+golf&x=0&y=0

But watch those shipping costs. Many copies of these books will come from the U.K. or South Africa, and for U.S. buyers, the shipping costs could double your price.

Back at'cha, Donn. You've had at least three careers (on the ground and in the air!) and have the technical manuals you've written to prove it!



Meanwhile, back at the Motionless Right Shoulder portion of this thread . . .

Get a video of Dave Stockton putting. He was (and is) one of the best, and his Stroke is a pure Arm Stroke, i.e., Flat Left Wrist and Push Basic Right Elbow Action. All with the Motionless Right Shoulder providing Pivot stability for the driving Right Arm.

Most of today's pros use a Shoulder Stroke, i.e., they freeze the Right Elbow and Hands; then, they 'rock' the Shoulders to get the Club back and through.

Not Dave.

And with 24 PGA TOUR and Champions Tour victories, five majors, and more than $11 million in official money to his credit, he's worth listening to. If only as an alternative to 'THE' way.

I just want to add my two cents.

Lately I've had great putting rounds with Shoulder Stroke Putting. But, I've also had great moments with the Arm Stroke. If I could choose, I would choose the Arm Stroke.

I don't know why, but the Ball Rolls different with the Arm Stroke. I think that it takes less Break. I know that sounds crazy but I really think it does. Also, with the Arm Stroke, it's Center Cup more than the Shoulder Stroke.

Tiger, with his right arm only drill, is ingraining a hitters stroke (not a shoulder frame stroke). Is that correct?

Agreed.

That said, his Stroke is totally different once he adds the Left Hand to the Grip. Now, instead of pushing off the Right Shoulder with an extending Right Elbow, he freezes the Right Elbow and thrusts via the Right Shoulder Turn.

So . . .

What is the benefit of all his one-arm practice?

Right Forearm Tracing (Clubshaft Control) with the Lag Pressure Point (Clubhead Control). Only the Flat Left Wrist -- visual or geometric -- needs to be added (Clubface Control).

Once the aforementioned have been harnessed, the rest is a piece of cake.

So Tiger freezes his right shoulder when he does the right hand only drill with his putts. Interesting.

Lynn, in your opinion would he be better off (is this possible?) doing his right arm only drill with a frozen elbow and a thrusting right shoulder?

Thanks
