Ok so leading with "Pivot Controlled Hands" is a set of mistakes waiting to happen.

OB and TGMers knows why:

Ok, RFT not Pivot Controlled hands!

So, it is the highest priority for consistent championship level play, or regularly breaking par, (IMHO, since I haven't done it yet)(for those of us not playing 5 hours a day) to fully straighten the right arm at Impact Fix maximizing Extensor Action below plane since right palm holds the Plane underneath palm touching and left hand rests on top of the Wheel Rim for the swinger with manipulated hands or the Hitter who really does "carry it back" with the extended right arm struggling against the left arm "Check Reign." Thanks LBG!


The Power Package is given shape and concistency in the easiest most consistent using this technique.

I hope I am not being vapid in my response.

Another great feature of the Right Fore Arm Angle of Approach and Extensor Action obtained by straightening the right arm is the ease and consistency with which a golfer reaches full width and power of the Both Arms Straight position on the way to the Finish Swivel and "arrow through the ear" finish.

Great summary, Patrick. Thanks!

Lynn, I have said it before and will say it again, my four short days with you as my instructor, and also watching you instruct others, was a revelation of precision and power. Specific terms for specific movements demystifying the pieces of golf alignments. After 10 years of doing it the wrong way, I had a lot of fog but with your instruction, Daryl's help, Kev's Jerry's and OB Left's, and others, I feel the LAG dragging and driving!

Par is our friend!

Ok, here we go.

City,

This sums up about everything we talked about.

Flying Wedges aligned at 90 degrees
Pivot
Right Forearm Angle of Approach

See those Wedges? See the Red Dots? See at Impact, his shaft is vertical and his Right Forearm is On Plane on its Angle of Approach at Low-point? Shaft and right forearm frozen together. Right hip turns left.

Watch his address waggle. Very interesting: His hands, during its approach, passes his left shoulder (hinge location) while going to Low-Point but his shaft is no where near vertical. He fixed that during the Actual Swing. He may have been testing the Alignment. Look at his stance width.

In his video, he is Swinging his Arms (on an Elbow Plane). Oh well.

I guess it was too good to be true. There's that old Impact Bent Left Wrist syndrome. Maybe if he tried the "Taly" it could help?

Everything was going great, then for some unexplained reason he added a hand swivel. Why? He should know better. He invented the Taly!

But I think I figured it out. He was so far ahead of the Hinge during his address waggle that he knew the face wasn't going to close enough. So, he swiveled. Oh well. Another one bites the dust. Remember HK said that all of this must be accommodated at Impact Fix.

I have the Taly and it does help!

is it helping him? knowing that you're doing something wrong helps, but it helps more if you know whats wrong and how to do it right.

I knew that I needed a flat left wrist. I did not grasp with the Tally, that the Bent Right Wrist and proper right elbow position and proper Right Forearm Angle of Approach with Extensor Action below plane were all essential to keeping the flat left wrist flat but only if you turned and dragged the lag left maintaining the flat left wrist turning to completion.

Tonight at the range, I turned my right hip so freely that with a balmy 45 degrees evening and cold rain, I hit my old Adams PW 125 yards right after stepping out of the car at the flag! It felt like I could've hit it a lot farther with a little practice in timing the lag, but just wanted to loosen-up. So much lag was flowing forward into the ball it was amazing.

I lost the driver in the mist at 190 yards on it's way up. The 2 hybrid was feeling like it it might've dipped down angle at the 190 yard mark!

That sounds great. It's a very good pivot isn't it. Doesn't everything seem easier? Less effort? Thank Homer Kelley.
