When the Left Wrist is Bent ("Address Hands") the forward-leaning Taly ("Impact Hands") and perpendicular-to-the-line Clubshaft conflict. I am always amused as I watch students trying to figure out how to 'untangle' the the two. Then finally, comes the dawn: They realize that they must move their Hands much more forward (so that the Taly and the Clubshaft are parallel). For the first time, they discover for themselves the proper Hands and Clubshaft Impact alignments. Then, during the Stroke, they've got to maintain that relationship. For that to happen, the Hands cannot Quit (3-F-7-B); instead, they must keep moving throughout the Stroke. And that means the student must keep the Clubhead behind the Hands. Eureka! In the initial training, I have students set up at Impact Fix -- there is no Taly / Clubshaft conflict there -- and execute the Basic Motion (12-5-1). This is consistent with Homer Kelley's advice to "Practice this [Major Basic Stroke] first at Impact Fix" (Magic of the Right Forearm / 7-3). We then expand that into Acquired Motion (12-5-2) and introduce Pivot Action to Power the Left Arm through. __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage!
