Basic Strokes and Loading and Hinge Action and Procedure

[EdZ]

What if there is no start up Swivel?

As soon as the clubhead is above the hands.

Before that, it is still structural support.

to the second question.....

It isn't as much the elbow position, as the direction the right forearm is pointing

Ideally the elbow, the tip of the right elbow, stays on the shaft plane.

the difference in elbow position, and hence the difference in right forearm 'in line' load, vs 'out of line' load, alters the rate of the #3 closing motion of the clubface - why swingers have more rotation than hitters

it is the reason that clubface control is via the left wrist, and not anywhere else, and is in zone 3

Could you expand on this line of thought please sir . . . .


Have a look at this . . . some of these elbow positions may be somewhat difficult to classify due to axis tilts . . . interesting pictures. don't necessarily agree with the analysis but pictures are worth a study.

An interesting collection of photos.

As far as the direction the right forearm points - regardless of backswing elbow position, loading, release etc - the right arm will eventually straighten towards the plane line to both arms straight.

With pitch elbow, there must be rotation to allow the right forearm to straighten to the plane line with a squared clubface

with punch elbow, there would be less rotation, near straight line, less face rotation

All of which is 'around' or 'along' the line of the right elbow/forearm
