hands at address position
I'm new to TGM and I'm very glad to see that Lynn has started this site. I was lucky enough to have a phone conversation last month with Lynn himself, about changing my swing mechanics to take the stress off of my ailing left elbow. He suggested that I try to move to a right arm dominated, hitters move, to help with my problem. My question has to do with the basic address position that is best for this. My present address position (with driver)has the butt of the club pointing exactly at my navel. I've noticed in Lynn's videos,that the butt of his club seems to be pointed in the direction of the inner left thigh. Is it better for someone trying to use a right forearm pickup move to have the club in this position at address ? I've been experimenting also with my usual address, but then starting with a slight foward press of my hands. It seems like this helps me feel more of a right hand pickup, as it feels like the club almost "rebounds"off of the foward press into the backswing. Is it better to start with the handle slightly more forward ,or start with a slight foward press move ? Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
