I used to: -with the lower body resisting -take a "firm triangle" back in "one piece" with my shoulders. -"covering the line" with the club head staying over the plane line visually. This required my arms to separate from my body (slightly). "Low and wide." Outside the plane going back. -id get to end with a lot of arm lifting. This sort of push away with the shoulders and the left arm resulted in little wrist cock, (the elbow not bending) and angled to vertical hinging. Id try to compensate for these things with right wrist cocking and rolling forearms all the time aligned to nothing in particular. Pivot to hands Now I: -starting in fix (hitting) -extensor action already turned on with #1 only! Although Im wondering about #3 when Im swinging from adjusted. -clear the right hip. No knee action, knee motion only in response to the right hip going back. That is its really just the right hip going back nothing else actively although things do move around a little. The less the better Im thinking although I dont try to hold them still or anything. - with a relaxed right elbow and a frozen right wrist I use the Right Forearm Takeaway , fanning and bending to take the club back , up and in, while staying on plane. Hands to pivot when its working. I liken it to sort of two actions pulling other components around but only as much as is necessary (although there is no resistance). No longer any shoulder turn action for instance, now the right arm pulls the inert left via extensor action which pulls the left shoulder around. The right hip pulls the left hip around which pulls the left leg over accordingly. Etc There is a separation between upper and lower body directionally too. The right hip goes back while the hands or right forearm goes up. The relative amounts of pivot going back and hands going up determining the plane angle. Divergent vectors? This is where Im at now anyways. But tomorrow is another day after all. Yoda is this the sort of thing you are looking for? ob O.B.Left View Public Profile Send a private message to O.B.Left Find all posts by O.B.Left
