Hi all, my name's David and I'm a flipper! There, it's out! Don't like it and trying to change it, but there it is.

Been working diligently. Seen BM's seminal 'Confessions..' video. Fantastic. Read the yellow book, and re-read etc. Scoured this forum and BM's and CE's. Now I think I understand, in theory, what the correct action through the ball should be.

However, as understanding dawns so despair descends. It seems to me now that, as a swinger, the timing of the roll from impact to separation and swivel is just as tricky as timing the flip ever was! (PS I know there are lots of other disadvantages of flipping outside of timing issues). And it seems that although timing the roll correctly produces beautiful shots, mis-timing it has dire consequences that the flip never dreamt of!

Is it simply that since the light bulbs have only just come on I have to give the light chance to fill the room? ie my hands are just at the start of the education process and need to be given time?

Help!

I feel as if there is no timing involved.

Where’s why-

A swinger whirls the clubhead and allows CF to square the club via the pivot. The hands are clamps. But clamps with sensors points- the three pressure points. PP3 traces the plane line which trains the pivot which squares the clubface at impact.

Do the hands roll? Sure- ON PLANE. Start up swivel, a turn to the right (On Plane). The Pivot (lower body) moves the On Plane hands on the Downswing. The pivot turning and the release of acc#2, then #3 ( uncocking and rolling/transfer) while acc#4- the left arm, the Lever and pivot drives to follow through and the end. At no time will the hands move themselves that will allow the left wrist to become bent or the right to straightening before or at impact. When the Left is always Flat and the right remains bent through the ball- a flip will not exist. NO timing needed for the hands. A well trained Pivot- trained and designed by the hands -will need Pace and Rhythm but not the hands alone.

And a Hitter just flat outs dumps the clubhead through the ball to low point with a bend right wrist and a driving right arm.
