"Your right shoulder isn't on plane until top. It's moved horizontally to get there and your right hip had to clear to do so. The right shoulder then starts a downward path on the inclined plane via the hip slide. The right shoulder does not return on the same horizontal path. If it does, you're over plane, you're hitting the back or the outside quadrant of the ball, and you'll have to steer as a result."

THAT GOT ME!...thank you, (light bulb ON)

Trust me, we've all had those moments. Many of which have come from staying on this site till the wee hours of the morning. I've told people before that by becoming familiar with TGM, my brain looked like the Olympic Stadium during opening ceremonies. There were flashes everywhere...almost blinding.

One of the ways I describe the above quote to my students is to write the # 7 on the wall with your right shoulder. It would be as if you had a laser writing on the wall. The light doesn't go back and forth on a straight line. It's just a little visual that helps sometimes.

hip slide
Ted: If you start from impact fix and stay there throughout the hit (almost said swing!), do you still slide? Or is it more of a bump?

Hard to differentiate using words. My bump may be your slide. But, it definitely moves.

The wall would be to the right for a right hander or opposite the target.

Dude! This may be the best "over the top" cure that has ever been. I have been tracing 7's all over the place. This rocks!

You are now my golf hero . . . replacing Silly Puddy. Sorry Comdpa.
