Stuts,
Trust me, that top position is NOT something we worked on, but something my incubator won't let go of for some reason. That I got back to impact in reasonably good alignments at all is a tribute to the work we did to uncock on plane and roll in to impact. This felt to me like I was uncocking behind me, but in fact it was just on plane, something I had not been too familiar with before.
I'll try to explain what I mean by throw, but others (Lynn) feel free to chime in and correct me. When I say a "throw," from the top we brought the club down with the butt moving towards the plane line. (on plane) Once the weight of the club and the unwinding pivot started to uncock the left wrist, Lynn said "just let it go, that's what it wants to do anyway." So the motion (swinging) becomes very much a "throw" out of the club on plane. The left wrist is uncocking, and as we've all heard, and it's true, it can't uncock and bend at the same time. So if it is uncocking on plane, and the pivot is working correctly, the roll really just happens. Now all of the hammering posts Bucket has put up make a lot more sense to me!
I will say again, that the time with Lynn working on these concepts has made all the difference as I read the forum, the book, watch the videos, whatever. I have a lot of new mechanics to engrain to feel, but it's coming. Some of the shots I am hitting now I am thrilled with. Still miss plenty, and still struggle with the driver, but it's coming.
