I've been struggling just a tad hitting, getting some left shots and losing some lag. Now I switch between hitting and swinging, I'm either Jeff Hull or Ted Fot(wish I could play half as well as either).
Anyway, I saw this post and immediately started hitting it better. I think I've been loading up that top knuckle and getting a little bounce at the top of the swing causing some throwaway.
Guy's there is absolute gold in some of these threads, here's the post I'm referring to..
"With regard to your question, WHAT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE IS THE LOADING OF THE SHAFT. If you go much past top you start loading the knuckle on the top of the shaft instead of the pad of the finger on the back of the shaft. I'm loading my right elbow TO DRIVE THE CLUB THROUGH IMPACT and Yoda's loading his left wrist TO DRAG THE CLUB THROUGH IMPACT. It's really all about the loading, not the prescribed assembly point. Top and end are good visual checks for the instructor, though"

What a great nugget, I had missed that as well... Ted has done some BRILLIANT work! Do you have the Pre Swing videos with he, Yoda, and Jeff? Wonderful stuff!

You guys are lucky that you didn't have to rely on me to write the book. The yellow book is where the brilliance resides.
As I spend more time in the book, I find more and more brilliance. 1-L is a nice place to start. 1-L-#10 is one of my personal favorites. When you come from a basis of geometry and add a physical load to that geometry, you're building a machine that has the ability to repeat a process. When any golfer tries to defy the Newtonian laws of force and motion, he will struggle.
1-L-10. "The Lever Assembly must be driven through Impact by an On Plane Force (moving toward the Plane Line)." There is a lot implied there.
I'm also astounded by, amongst other things, 2-C-O Linear Force. Basically a description of how a non linear force (typical golf type force given angular motion on an inclined plane) can produce the same results as Linear Force. Too long to copy out.
Agreed. Meaning Impact and beyond, past low point even the Force is Forward,Out and Down towards the Plane Line (even though the clubhead post low point is traveling Forward, Up and In.
Doing this makes it really hard to bend the left wrist by the way. It being the opposite of Steering. This addresses one of Golf's most common misconceptions. Our misconceptions influence our intentions which create a bending left wrist amongst other ills. The correction if not blindly natural must be theoretically based to change our perception of the task at hand. And here we are.
