Magic Of The Right Forearm / Elbow Action GM#184
Quote:
As I wrote on a post earlier today -- or was it yesterday? :oops:-- the Right Forearm On Plane at Impact is due to the Right Shoulder being On Plane. This, in turn, is due to the Hip Shift and Axis Tilt at Start Down. So, the On Plane Right Forearm and the Impact degree of Right Elbow Bend is dependent upon the Impact Location of the Hip and Spine. Any attempt to recreate the On Plane Right Forearm and Fix degree of Right Elbow Bend without the accompanying Hip Shift (and Axis Tilt) tends to create contortive (and even 'un-golflike') alignments at Adjusted Address. So, if you're going to 'tilt' your Axis at Address, do it via the very slight -- but nevertheless required -- Hip Shift, not through an artificial lowering of the Right Shoulder. And when you Shift (and probably slightly Turn) your Hips, leave your Head directly between your Feet. In other words, do not 'lean' to the right or otherwise attempt to get 'behind the Ball.' Head Location is independent of Ball Location. With your Head Centered between your Feet, you're already 'behind' the Ball. Or 'in front' of the Ball. Or 'even with' the Ball. Now stay there and do the really important thing: Keep the Clubhead behind The Hands. It's God's Plan. |

Welcome Aboard, sdbyrd, Wonderful stuff! You will find that everything in TGM you understand -- and correctly execute -- works. And it will keep working! You will hit plateaus, of course, but only as preparation for your 'next' level. I know this for a fact. I've been at it some 25 years now, and I'm more excited than ever! |

For Hitters -- that would be you, JG33! -- the Right Elbow does indeed Cock the Left Wrist as it Bends and Fans in the Backstroke. But remember, the Hitter's Left Wrist Action to The Top is essentially Angled Hinge Action (10-18-C-2). So, while the Right Wrist retains its Bent (Horizontal Grip Motion) and Level (Vertical Wrist Motion) Impact Fix alignments, it continuously Turns (Rotational Hand Motion) from Start Up to The Top. Study 4-0. The Golfing Machine. Gotta love it! :oops: |

Good question, Patrick, and Homer specifically addressed it in his additions slated for the as-yet-unpublished 7th Edition: 4-D-1, paragraph 1, last line -- after "(2-K)" insert: "But, remember that there is normally a point where Backstroke Shoulder and Wrist Motions make it difficult or even impossible to keep the Flat Left Wrist vertical to its Plane or the Right Forearm on its Plane without producing a non-golfing and Off Plane Clubshaft position or motion which is intolerable per 2-F and 3-F-6 for thinking players (1-G)." And there -- from The Man himself -- you have it! :oops: |

SuperDave, You have agreed to 'no Single Axis' only under the duress of Truth as professed by your 'critics.' Bottom Line: On Plane is On Plane. Off Plane is Off Plane. During the Release Interval, the Right Forearm is On Plane. The Left Arm is not. For the record, these are Facts, not Opinions. As far as Phoenix Weather goes, here are the current conditions: - Wind from the NE (050 degrees) at 7 MPH (6 KT) - Visibility 10 mile(s) - Sky conditions mostly cloudy - Temperature 93.9 F (34.4 C) - Dew Point 50.0 F (10.0 C) - Relative Humidity 22% - Pressure (altimeter) 29.86 in. Hg (1011 hPa) - Pressure tendency 0.01 inches (0.2 hPa) higher than three hours ago And so it goes. |
Chopping Motion BM#94
Quote:
A Three-Dimensional Impact (2-C-0) -- Downward (Attack Angle) and Outward (Plane Angle) and Forward (Approach Angle) -- requires a Three Dimensional Backstroke (2-F), i.e., the Club moves Upward, Backward and Inward -- On Plane -- instantly and simultaneously. This requires a Three Dimensional Right Forearm and Elbow Motion (2-N-0 and 7-3). If the 'describable sensation' of this Precision Mechanic (1-J and 3-B) 'Feels' "Lifting" and "Chopping" (compared with the Prior Total Motion Feel) then that is the Feel to incorporate into your basic procedure (Chapter 14). But be sure to look, LOOK, LOOK and make sure you are getting the Mechanic right. Otherwise, you will be incorporating into your Stroke the Feel of an incorrect Mechanic. The change in one Component will almost always affect its relationship with others. Therefore, one can expect the need to 'tighten tolerances' within the Total Motion to be the natural byproduct of continuing progress. Here, a continuing relationship with a competent Authorized Instructor can make the transition from 'Can't' to 'Can' as painless and seamless as possible. Even so, at the end of the day, the Instructor can only inform and explain... It is the Student who must absorb and apply. |

The Magic of the Right Forearm (7-3) does not end with the Right Forearm Takeaway. Unlike the disruptive Shoulder Turn Takeaway -- which keeps the Clubhead too 'low' and thus necessitates a Single Shift (10-7-B) to achieve a Turned Shoulder Plane -- the Right Forearm Pick Up takes the Club instantly and simultaneously Up, In and Back with Zero Shift (10-7-A) on a Turned Shoulder Plane (10-6-B). This Three Dimensional Start Up (2-F) parallels the Three Dimensional Impact -- Downward (Attack Angle), Outward (Plane Angle) and Forward (Approach Angle) [2-C-0] -- that is so necessary for Maximum Compression. This geometrically correct Start Up is the best way to assure that you arrive at the Top with minimal adjustment required with regards to the Plane Line, Lag Loading and Right Forearm Position (12-3 / Section 6 / #19-#23). Then, you have only to return the Right Forearm precisely to its own Angle of Approach (7-3) as established at Impact Fix (8-8 ). This assures the Downward element so often missing from the Impacts of even the best players. It thereby eliminates the Clubface 'Wobble' (and Lost Compression) that occurs during Impacts where the Clubhead comes in too low and Laying Back. "As it goes back, so it tends to come down." The Magic of the Right Forearm -- in both directions -- is the open door to your Best Golf. |

The Magic of the Right Forearm -- in both directions -- is the open door to your Best Golf. Question...on the backswing your right forearm delivers the club on plane to the top of swing position....What or how do you deliver the right forearm on the forward swing when using a swinger's action (not a hitter's action)? Does the pulling by the left side deliver the right forearm?, the pivot (I hope not, I dont get how the pivot delivers the arms and club), or the right forearm itself? If its the right forearm, it would not seem like a swinger's action. Thanks For a given Delivery Line, the Geometry of the Right Forearm Motion is identical for both Hitters and Swingers. Only the Physics differs (Preface and 2-M-1). The Hitter's Active Right Forearm is Driven into its Impact Fix alignment by Muscular Thrust per 6-B-1-A (Right Triceps Drive). The Swinger's Passive Right Forearm is Thrown into its Impact alignment by Centrifugal Force per 6-B-4-A (Right Shoulder Turn Thrust). |
