Inside Out Cut Shot

Making the Inside Out Cut Shot:

While the student is not exactly tracing a straight plane line, his clubhead is coming from the inside with an open clubface (vertical hinge). To do otherwise would mean that his shot would strike the white board.

Let's just say that "It's a work in progress..."

Keep it up, Justin. I don't know about anybody else but, for me, seeing TGM principles on video clarifies things much better than reading about them. I think the ultimate tool for us visual learners would be a step-by-step DVD series, demonstrating each and every concept, drill, and position in the yellow book. In concert with the book, it could be the ultimate fog-clearing tool. For learning TGM principles, nothing is better than seeing a competent AI, but such a DVD series would be the next best thing, IMO.

Thanks for the encouragement Bigwill.
I have always enjoyed sharing the book, the only thing that stops me from shooting more videos is the lack of a wireless mic on my video camera - working on that buddy!

This confuses me a little bit (like that is very hard to do).

It is hard to see the right foot; is this stance square with the mat ?

I assume that white board is specifically placed there for a reason (because of the cut shot). I thought that the inside out cut shot was supposed to have a square stance line and an open plane line, which is exactly what I see in the video. Here is my confusion: I incorrectly thought that while hitting this cut shot (just like in the video) that the ball would travel straight down the stance line. That whould clearly cause a nasty 'crack' as the ball comes right back to say 'hello' after smacking into that white board.

But as I type this and watch the video several times everything that I have read tells me that is very wrong. The ball always travels along the plane line. I was aware that was the purpose of this cut shot, but totally missed the boat regarding the most important aspect of the drill: ball to plane line relationship.

Thank you Comdpa. It makes a huge difference seeing this for the first time after reading about it previously. It just shows me how minute differences can mean everything.

Is that link dead? I can't seem to open the utube vid.

The link is very much up...you have to let it load first.

Compda,

Thanks for the reply. Eventually it worked and I was able to view the video.

Also, when you get a chance, can you elaborate on the pyramid video?

thanks again!
