What are the fundamentals?

So far, I have

Set up in impact fix

Right forearm takeaway using external rotation of the humerus (upper arm)

Create and sustain lag which is felt at PP1 and PP3

Drive down 4 inches ahead at aiming point

Maintain bent right wrist

Hi Crawford,

You have all good, but don't forget the hitter's dynamics also include two very important things:

• a short backswing
• a slooooooooow (you have no idea!) startdown

I also recommend that you practice hitting balls with your right arm only like Yodasluke is doing in a video: Start at impact fix, freeze your right wrist in position.
Very instructive - You will immediately understand the imperatives of the hitting stroke:

• the right forearm must be on plane to correctly push behind the shaft
• better start slow or you will throw the club away
• better do a short backswing or you risk activating your right arm too soon and throw the club away.
