You gonna' tell him, or will I?

True, he very often is out of sequence, both because of his active hips, and as attempts to 'save' shots. It really is telling just how high his right shoulder comes through on those blocked shots.
Yesterday, the little bit of coverage I saw, he really looked in much better sequence on his good shots. Very 'connected'. The hands and chest moving through together. (hence swinging the entire power package as a unit - 'in synch').
Perhaps the best player to watch for that is Ken Venturi, who appeared to always have the proper Rhythm and hands to chest relationship. One of the best 'swings' ever IMO.
uppndownn - the right forearm flying wedge - the right forearm 'supporting' the shaft, in line with it from a down the line view at impact with a bent right wrist. Watch some of the video clips of Brian Gay setting up to a shot in the gallery for a great example. A big key to obtaining that in line support is that the right wrist is 'level'. See the photo's in chapter 5. Tiger often has the right forearm 'over' that line (pulls) or under it (pushes), both caused in large part from not having the level right wrist/in line relationship understanding of impact fix. |
