My problem is that when I do a RFT....the only thing that I don't like, and that I can't seem to get the hang of....is the startdown. Now....I'm thinking that when I use both hands or a STT, my "awareness" (it's hard to explain...but I can't think of a better word right now) is more in the left side for the entire swing- rather than it being in the right arm. SO...it makes it easier to pull with my left side in the downswing. What's the call, Yoda?? Begin from the classic Swinger's Adjusted Address Wrist Conditions (Bent Left and Flat Right). Then, execute your Right Forearm Takeaway -- think On Line Extensor Action -- with the Forearm leading and the Clubhead lagging. Allow your Pivot to participate in that motion but not to disrupt its On Plane alignments (the Right Forearm and its angled Clubshaft extension continue to point at the straight line baseline of your Inclined Plane). This Random Sweep Loading Action (10-22-B) will set up the Swinging Motion (7-9) and its Feel. In turn, this Feel will promote the correct Centrifugal Release Sequence from the Top, i.e., Body pulling Arms; Arms pulling Hands; and Hands pulling Club (6-M-1). In addition to practicing the Takeaway itself, practice the Start Down Waggle (including its Extensor Action). This will ingrain the Feel of the correct On Line Start Down and allow the Body (with its unwinding of the Left Side) to initiate the Downstroke, thereby cranking up your Swinger's Gyroscope and sending the Clubhead into orbit toward Impact. __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage!
