Thanks, Mike O...
...for your outstanding posts #8 (Fading/Drawing for Hitters and Manipulated Hands Swingers) and #10 (Plane Line Rotation for True Swingers). They explain in layman's terms -- as near as possible while maintaining the necessary precision -- two of TGM's toughest concepts. Great stuff!

A manipulated hands swinger is following Sam Sneads image of the 'hands in a holster' at address. The hands to body relationship always being the same (in a 'holster' approx inside edge of lead leg). A true swinger has a different hands to body relationship at address, and hence not 'in the holster'. It would seem to me to be much easier and more reliable to go with the manipulated hands approach (which is a bit of an ironic term) - the approach that Nicklaus uses. |
Lee Buck Corroborates it in his book . . .

LEE BUCK ON AIMING THE CLUBFACE "When it comes to aiming the clubface, I'm going to give you a real shocker. I'm sure you've all heard or read that you should aim the clubface down your initial flight path, or directly at your target, if you're going to make a straight shot. If you're going to align yourself 30 to 40 degrees left of your flight path at address, you've also got to aim your clubface, and the back of your left hand, to the left." WHY LEFT? "If you aim your clubface to the left of your flight path, as I do, your wrist will not turn the clubface from right to left so radically through impact. Instead, to avoid hitting the shot to the left, wher you've aimed, you will tend to hodl your on-path clubface alignment slightly longer as it swings throught the ball. This increases your chances of making your clubface look in the right direction at the right time. The degree to which you should aim to the left depends on whether you normally slice or hook your shots." Hmm . . . angled hinging and hitting??? LEE BUCK ON HOOKING . . . "If you've been curving your shots badly to the left, you should try just the opposite procedure. First try aimingyoru clubface more to the left at address. This may make you react in yoru swing by reducing your wrist roll in that direction. You'll fear rolling your clubface to the left because you've already aimed father left. Instead, you'll hold the door open a bit longer through impact and thereby elimated the closed clubface that was giving you the hook." Where have we heard the door analogy??? |
o.k., I'll bite

Does this mean that the so called "four barrel swingers" are living in wonderland, and are closet hitters? I have found in my hitting that the right arm has an impossible task in overriding centrifugal force. Centrifugal force can certainly override the right arm, so it must be stifled. This is why it's mandatory for a hitter to create a platform, from which the right arm can blast. Centrifugal force is like playing with fire for the hitter. It's nice to have it take up the initial momentum in Start Down, but you better know what you're doing (expert-4 barrel). It's like lighting up a fuse connected to a box of explosives. It might be exciting to light it, but you better cut the fuse before it gets there. The hitter that lets the fuse burn a little too long suffers the consequences. 6-F-0: "It is almost exclusively Muscular Force, totally annulling and stifling any intrusion by Centrifugal Force." |
The clubface condition at low point for a 6 iron
What should be the clubface condition at low point.
Square or Close Reliable Information from some respectable TGMer... GSED I was told that all 24 components (the accumulators only?) are at their in line condition at low point... And some say all the accumulatosr (24 components?) are at their in line condition at follow through... I think the later for me is more convincing. |
