Hey guys! I'm a total TGM novice so forgive my ignorance, but I have a couple of questions I was hoping you could help me with.

-I'm a swinger, and have some backswing confusion. I start my backswing with a swivel (at least I try to) and then I COCK my right elbow up to complete my backswing.

Is this correct/o.k.?

Because I could do it another way, which would be to swivel, and then BRING THE WHOLE PACKAGE "UP" TO THE TOP- in other words, not "cock" my right arm at the elbow but rather move EVERYTHING- arms, hands, club, the whole shebang, as one unit, up and back until my left shoulder passes under my chin.

I hope I'm explaining this correctly- in one version, the cocking of my right elbow completes the backswing, in the other version, I move the entire package, without really cocking/bending the right elbow (at least not FEELING as if that's what I'm doing) underneath my chin.

It's two totally different feels.

Personally, I feel more comfortable with the "right-elbow-cocking-to-complete-my-backswing" version, but, to my novice TGM thinking, isn't concentrating on or feeling the right elbow cocking in the backswing a HITTER'S move? Is it o.k. for a swinger to have a backswing based on the right elbow cocking? Or am I mixing fundamentals? Please help!

You rotate the shoulders with straight arms and the center-of-graivty of the club (or the "law") will do the rest (bend the right wrist while cocking the left and turn both forearms while folding the rear) for your upswing.

Same for the downswing, if you interrupt it half-way and sustain the "resistance" (or "lag", including pivot, accumulator and club) encounterred.

So, all you need to do for a golf swing is "mid-way turn-around", which is also the "intent" you really need to execute.

Other than that, it's way too much!!!!!!
