P.S. I'm moving the Doyle discussion to the appropriate thread.

Yoda,

Ignore Joe's unappreciation and rudeness. After all this is YOUR site and you can do as you wish. The rest of us truely appreciate your and Baggers efforts.

I, as a low handicapper like to see changes being made from someone in my handicap range. Many of us suffer from the same problems. ie..getting stuck. Sitting there watching a hacker getting frustrated and not listening isn't as useful to me as this series was.

On to my question. What did you change in his setup? I see where it's been mentioned that changes in his setup cured other problems. What were they and what did you change?

Thanks.

The major change in his Address Position was that we put his Right Forearm On Plane. When he arrived, it was pointing well inside the Plane Line. This change was not done in a vacuum. We also worked hard on the Right Forearm Flying Wedge Concept -- establishing it, maintaining it throughout the Stroke and Tracing with it. Also, using the Right Forearm (via the Bending Right Elbow) to take the Club away (as opposed to his ingrained Shoulder Turn Takeaway). This work is ongoing.

Yoda, in the video, you talk about directing the lag pressure down with the #3 pressure point. This may be beating a dead horse, but how does the swinger do this with that the right hand only like you were demonstrating? Or should the swinger practice that with only their right hand?

Normally, the Pivot Loads the Swinger's Lag Pressure on the Rotated #3 Lag Pressure Point -- the first knuckle of the Right Hand. Centrifugal Force then supplies the Thrust of the Stroke, the Direct Drive of the #2 Accumulator (the Left Wristcock) through the #2 Pressure Point (the last three fingers of the Left Hand). However, that Centrifugal Thrust is sensed as Clubhead Lag Pressure and aimed by the #3 Pressure Point -- via its straight line thrust -- down the Delivery Path and toward the Plane Line.

I absolutely endorse practicing that move with the Right Arm only, first without a Club and then with one. At the Top, mentally draw a straight line from the #3 Pressure Point to the inside-aft quadrant of the Ball. Then, as your Downstroke Pivot Loads the Lag in Start Down, feel as though your Right Hand remains at the Top of the Stroke. Finally, with your Right Hip Cleared and the Lag Loaded, direct your Thrust directly down that Line and through your Aiming Point (usually the Ball). Once you've got the move down pat, practice with both Hands.

Yes Yoda, I remember this well. You and Luke performed this movement together with your right arm. It is right up there with the "Hitters" handshake............

Yoda,

Is that why you have him approach the shot with the right arm flying wedge? so it gets on plane at address?

thanks
