Bucket is on the list!
If my thinking is oriented around establishing...or ideally... maintaining an in-line relationship between the shaft (proxi-sweetspot) and my right forearm... am I on track? I am almost to the point where I have just about substituted the clubface with my FLV left wrist...the clubhead with my BLV right wrist and the shaft with my right forearm. What I have to focus on the most at this stage is my right forearm wedge staying intact. If I fan correctly it is a beautiful thing!
A little more than a year into THIS, the game has taken on a sweet simplicity. I now count all the hair pulling and gnashing of teeth as joy! My wife says that I am more at peace with myself! :eyes: Golf too is a knowable, albeit complex, quantity. I got me a left hand, a right hand, a forearm and a pivot that does what it is told...let's play G.O.L.F! Question about elbow postions and forearm fanning. Is pitch more conducive to fanning than punch? I'm looking forward to the lreease of the Blake/Trolio collaboration. I enjoyed the smackerel...the dedication to "my teacher, Homer Kelley" plucked on my one heart string. Saturday morning musing Not to sound too "schmultsy" but I "know" Homer Kelley primarily through the book, but especially through Lynn's narrative and personal anecdotes. I understand the loyalty he attracted, not cultic sycophance as cynics suggest, but rather awe for his selfless desire to assist others. Although I never had the pleasure of his company...I have learned a great deal from him...after my college coach, I consider HK my most important golfing influence. 4 of the top 5 have been added since my discovery of TGM! No need to rank 'em all but Lynn is there...and can you believe...BUCKET...another selfless seeker. |

The Clap
Yeah...stinker...that is what I meant!
Yoda...you just made my day! Thanks for the elbow response. While alternating from pitch to punch in the mirror this morning (I was sort of brushing my teeth with my left hand) it got me thinking : Pitch - the elbow is in front of the right hip. does this put the elbow slightly to the left (towards the belt buckle?) Punch - the elbow is to the side of the right hip, placing the elbow further right of the right hip when compared to pitch? It seems as if it is anatomically "easier" to fan when the joint around which the motion occurs is closer to the center of the body. I am trying to ascertain if this is "codswallop", a personal "seems as if", or universally true. Are elbow positions a spectrum deal? Pitch on one end...and push on the other? I know you can and must fan from punch...but if you were going to teach a beginner right forearm fanning would it be easier to start from pitch? I love to hit...although I generally swing. one of my preferences for swinging is that I "feel" (pardon) more adept at fanning from pitch. I just finished clapping from both pitch and punch. My wife is shaking her head with mock exasperation! Actually, I found it easier to fan clap from punch. Crud...let me go check Dianne out...again! |

Soooooooo . . . Pitch Punch Push are basically thought about around "Delivery" . . . but try getting "pitchy" on your backstroke and see what happens. Notice how at Top the Right Elbow Location in space can impact the Plane Angle . . . Plane Shifts . . . . Experiment with Right Elbow Location (and Left Elbow too) ThROUGH THE BALL. Notice how it Impacts the Location of the Clubshaft (amount of lean and amount that the handle is raised or lowered). Pay attention to how your right elbow moves in space . . . Is it moving out and away from you? Is it moving in an "arc" like trajectory around our rib cage? Notice how the Right Elbow motion and location also impacts the angle your shoulder turn on . . . which is basically a Hand Path deal. Hand Path and the resulting Elbow Location is HUGE . . . impacts lots of areas in the stroke. |
pitch/punch
"Pay attention to how your right elbow moves in space . . . Is it moving out and away from you? Is it moving in an "arc" like trajectory around our rib cage? " Tighty-Whitey strikes again!
I agree with you...like...totally...dude! If the right forearm is going to operate efficiently you gotta get a homer device on the elbow. Let me change the question a bit...cause I'm confusing my own self y'all. Is forearm fanning the exact same movement from pitch to punch? I get that both must fan. but am I hitting the crack pipe by thinking that it is easier from pitch, than from punch? Like I said before I enjoy hitting, but I favor swinging largely because I feel like I can fan "better" from pitch. I am looking for the mechanical hook on which to hang my feelings...otherwise I will simply hang 'em dead. Thereby enforcing a promise made I made to myself! I said "Okie...what ever you do you gotta be able to verify it with a sound mechanic, that way it is concrete and not the ethereal pixie dust of yet another feel-based swing tip that will not see the dawn of a another useful day." Or something like that... By all means put me in my place...afterall it is where I belong! |
Right elbow and lag loading
If lag is the secret of G.O.L.F.
then understanding lag loading is the key to the secret... Let the manner in which you establish lag pressure be the determinant of your right elbow/forearm position.... Once you have found the most efficient alignment for you right elbow/forearm at lag pressure loading.... then make sure that it is in a sensible position at all other sections of the swing...so you have less compensations to make. If you do this then you find that pitch is most naturally suited to swingers who drag load and have sequenced release... punch is most naturally to drive load and simultaneous release. So start with your loading procedure and fit your right forearm to that... |
right forearm pointing at the plane line at impact fix
With impact fix.... is the plane on which the right forearm lies at address, the plane of the sweetspot motion ?
