see: 7-16.....the primary function of the knee action- as with waist bend- is to maintain a motionless Head durning the stroke. Shoulder turn freedom as I see and feel it.

also 10-16-A & 10-16-B

My head was steady and I really turned my shoulders today. It felt good and really kept my angle hinge quiet so I was good off the tea but playing a draw all day. I will study those sections, doc, and thanks.

I suspect that you need to address the massive rotor if you have distance 'issues' when swinging. If a full correct shoulder turn were easy for everybody, then, according to a statistic I made up for this post, 80% of the population wouldn't suck at golf.

Edit: I went back and read some of your posts. You appear to be focusing on the downswing. You either have your backswing (the hard part for older golfers) down cold or you have a blind spot.

I am demanding a lot from TGM because I believe it has lots of insight and answers. Today, I turned my back fully to the target as Whip suggested and pivoted on my left heel sending my hip around back of me with my angle hinge lined up. I was in the middle of the fairway all day but could not control my second shot. Ball position was off I'm sure. I was shooting a 10 yard draw all day and I was running into sand and off the green etc. My chips mostly saved me and my vertically un-cocking left wrist made easy work out of the sand (hitting out of the sand is good too imho).

I know the deal is in the hands and hinges. I would just like to hit the odd 7 or 8 iron to the green on 400 yard plus holes instead of figuring out where to bounce my hybrid into the hole. Turning my back to the hole with my back swing seems powerful and full. Maybe a little right heel lift or an aim-point pulling the handle to the back of the ball.

ICT,

You have a blind spot. Start working on your weaknesses or go back to hitting. Too much jumping around, narrow your focus and attack systematically. Your trying to detour.

Funny you should mention that!

Turned my back fully today to the target, stayed on the elbow plane and drove that angle hinge DOWN. Very simple, very straight and high ball flight, played our championship tees and shot an 86 in front of a blustery storm front. Greens are aerated and my ball position was too far forward for some of my and I snapped a few. :crybaby:

Still a bad day on the course...

Have a nice holiday folks!

It is the perfect illustration of Homer Kelley's words from his Fall 1981 Master Class:

"The #3 Accumulator [Angle] should be constant. If you have your Right Forearm On Plane -- behind the Clubshaft -- this Angle will be constant. There's nothing that will change it. You're coming in like this [Homer demonstrates per David's photo above] as though there were no left arm."

Haven't broke 75 yet, weekend 89 and today an 84. Today was cool though because I used my first set of clubs, Hogan Edges, forged, and used Lynn's teachings to keep my left arm extended while doing a "manipulated hands swing."
Angle Hinge or open face of Horizontal Hinge, whichever, I was hitting my 5 iron almost 180 yards and my 9 iron almost 140 with a standard swinging Angle Hinge. One fellow competitor asked me how I added so much distance, 40 yards on average on my drives, and I gave him Lynn's name and told him that Lynn showed me a better grip, made me wider and put me solidly on plane. I have qualified for our "A" flight championships with a 10.7 hcp. index. One sand save, 4 long birdie putts, three putted a lot,

Bought a very simple Ping Redwood putter, 36" because I know Jerry would want me too. lol! Happy Rosh to those like my Dad who are members of the Tribe, and Shalom Jerusalem!

Turning back and through!

With a new 8 degree SMT Deep Bore driver, Grafalloy Attack Lite, regular shaft, the ball leaves like a bullet on a rope, about 3 stories high, bounces the first time at about 200 before disappearing in the woods at 260. (I have to remember to keep the right hand, bent right wrist firm!)
Ball position determines how much cut if any. Dropping my elbow after the turn carries the ball almost 240 straight before disappearing.

The Horizontal Hinge is ridiculous ! Leaves at about 30 feet high, bounces at about 180 with a 10 yard draw or so skips to about 230 before hitting the trees.

The Hogan Edges seem to like the manipulated hands swing too, flying as far as my cavities or farther where they are aimed! :) Turn/Turn!

Jerry G had suggested the Wilson Duos and those balls play very well, fly about 10 yards shorter then my Pro V1's, durable, and really compress on the Hogan's and are about $20 for a dozen.

Will see if I can make some noise for our club Championships!

The Ball only does what you tell it to do. Unless of course, you're using "Ladies" Balls.

Senior Club Championships on Sunday

Well Kids, my hcp. is 11.2. I realize that to Hit, I have to cover a line going out to right field from the inside quadrant of the ball. I also realize that hitting does not mean taking the club above my shoulder and keeping my left wrist flat or arched.

I know I have to bump my left hip into the shot. RFT to top and cover the delivery line coming down.

I also will make darn sure to decorate whatever ball I and fully identify it! :( And my Pivot will supply the power to my educated hands.
