What I meant was that I don't have to start the downswing with hips but with arms motion which will pull the body into impact,followthrough and finish,not that the pivot must not move! 2nd the motion of the right hand he is showing (exactly a karate chop looking motion) is not the same he is showing when holding a club. At least this is what I see in the videos. If I try to perform the karate-chop-like motion of the right hand and think (as he says) of hitting only down and out I always find myself with an angled hinging of the left wrist actually closer to a vertical hinge than horizontal. For what I understood he saw that your shots too had the tendency of going to the right and he was suggesting you to think of swinging the hands forward,past your left side,in order to straiten or even drawing your shots. Infact he was showing that in such a way the toe of the club (but well past impact),was pointing to the sky.With Media Player I cannot watch the videos frame by frame so I don't know how is the clubface at impact. Anyway if you think of just swinging your arms past your left side that's also hitting forward,not merely down and out,no karate chops. So I would like to make it clear: karate chops or not? In the end did u follow TT advices and how are u swinging nowadays? many thanks Lee Libero libero View Public Profile Send a private message to libero Find all posts by libero
