The Start Down Waggle and Its Use

The Start Down Waggle is listed as a Top-of-the-Stroke procedure in the Mechanical Checklist For All Strokes (12-3). Its purpose is to train and rehearse the correct On Plane (1) Clubhead Lag Loading and (2) Pivot Transport of the Power Package during the Start-Down, i.e., the period of Right Shoulder Acceleration (8-7 / 2-H).

Accordingly, it is not performed during the actual Golf Stroke. Instead, it is an integral part of The Address Routine (3-F-5), specifically, the Practice Stroke. Further, especially with Pivot Stroke Delivery (6-K-0), it is an excellent stand-alone practice drill.
