Fanning revisited (again!)

[tongzilla]

This late fanning or delaying of the Startup Swivel may be a sign of something very desirable for the Swinger.

The Lagging Clubhead Takeaway -- the recommended but not mandatory motion for the Swinger -- is often done improperly by those who try to imitate it. They actuate the motion actively with their wrist muscles by bending their left wrist and flattening the right wrist. Although this can look similar to the correctly performed motion, its performance is inferior.

Just to clarify for those still incubating out there, a Lagging Clubhead Takeaway is a takeaway where the Hands lead the Clubhead during Start Up.

There should be no tension in the wrists. It must remain so supple that it can't even move the inertia of a stationary clubhead. Your Pivot Motion (or Right Forearm) should transport the arms and hands, and because of the inertia of the clubhead (not wrists muscles itself), the Hands lead the Clubhead and we get a very slight Bending of the Left Wrist and Flattening of Right Wrist as a by product.

Note that Fanning of the Right Forearm is delayed so long as the Lagging Clubhead Takeaway is still in action. Hence the late Fanning. Players with very supple wrists that has absolutely no inclination to help pick the clubhead up will have a longer period where the Clubhead Lags behind the Hands. Which goes back to my original comment in my last post as to why this might be a sign of something desirable for the Swinger.
