This is taken from 2 weeks no swinging and a herniated disc ... got a bandaid wrap around my waist but.. thats my bad excuse for overswinging and not bumping to the left as much as i should.

my elbow is behind and I do feel much better results if i could get my right arms more underhand pitch motion in the downswing and elbow slightly in front of body . working on it, still on and off affair.

The thing is , I personally don't feel right behind the hip is correct

Hey NUKE it's tinkers from the other forum--- Are you still working with the OPS???

[nuke99]

Hey Tinkers

Yes , I am swinging with arms and shoulder in one plane. I don't think i will change that ever because its my preferred way. I'm still swinging based on that basic concept.

I'm am however very into TGM because it can be applied Universally, on ANY type of swing. And it definitely helps me to appreciate the concept of a swing much better. And Everyone here is so knowledgeble.

for example.

concept of zero manipulation in OPS = zero swivel and semi roll.
concept of left armpit connected to shoulder = # PP4
concept of working the ball = horizontal/vertical hinge/roll


How bout u.. what are u working on?

Nuke....

This is coming from someone who is fairly new to TGM (18 months) so take it with that in mind. I think you need to get better extensor action. The lack of extensor action requires some adjustment to get back to the ball. After acquiring better extensor action your opinion of where the right elbow goes might (or given my vast experience teaching...might not) change.... just a thought.

psheehan,

Lack of extensor action was the first thing I noticed as well, and as Homer said you should fix the first wobbly point in the motion. However overall it's a pretty good swing. I can see the work you've put in Nuke99. Good Stuff.
