Lifetime TGM'er

Sorry to re-jack the thread. But, I was asked to give a little more detail.

7-17: "Address Position loading of the Feet is even distribution between both feet but with enough on the heels to allow the toes to be lifted up momentarily without altering the distribution between the toe and heel."

Since he was starting on the balls of his feet and going to the toes quickly in Start Up, his Balance was immediately lost.

I don't know where the rumor started, but it was told to me that Rocking (moving closer to or away from the ball) would be added to the Snares in the 7th. I have no idea from whom the rumor originated. I think it was from someone that attended a GSEB class, so don't take it as gospel. It seems to make sense, but I don't recall it being in Homer's notes.

But, it's obvious that this man's changing proximity to the ball affected his ability to keep Balance, clear the right hip, maintain Extensor Action, & keep the FLW.

This is kinda interesting for me as I am suffering from some balance issues of late and losing my alignements of late. Will check where my weight is on my feet to see if this improves things as I have the habit of falling to the side (towards the ball) as well when things go bad.

So at address is the weight evenly distributed on each foot and during the backswing is there weight shift more toward the heel of the back foot? Is there a proper sequencing of weight shift relative to the feet during the transition and into the downswing?

Thanks for your insights.

Not hitting, but Hogan seemed very concerned about keeping
perfect balance on the right leg. Any straightening of the right leg or
bowing movement of the left wrist at the top, caused weight to move
to the toes and loss of balance. One of the pictures of the Lifetimer
TGM'er shows the bowing of the left wrist at the top and the head
moving outward. The after picture show the left hand flat and
the head staying back. The important thing to me is that Yoda Luke
observed the balance problem and put in a correction. Yoda Luke
is thinking about the swing on a higher level of understanding, much
like Hogan.

BJ,

It is a fact that all true Glaswegians can walk on one leg only throughout a complete weekend.

Their ability to do this diminishes with their return to sobriety on a Monday morning - when the inability to get out of bed and go to work overrides this phenomenon.

PS: For the record, Alex does not drink and has a full range of mobility throughout the entire week. His balance only being impaired by whichever pocket his wallet never comes out of.

You would have more success training yourself to breath water.

Now, if you were to ask a Yorkshireman then at least you would get a direct answer............................................ .................."dream on!"

Dkerby, Luke or anybody;

Please explain this connection between the bowed left wrist at top or end and the weight moving to the toes. I have both, sadly, and need a fix. I try to correct the wrist but it keeps coming back. On video the left wrist looks good at top but by end it is bowed, what gives?

Very excited to think it might be corrected with rocking abatement intervention (RAI).

OB Left, could you be straightening your back leg when you
go from the top to the end? Vasquez said in his book,
Try cupping the the wrist, but allow the the back knee
to straighten. You've lost your balance again. You still
can't break 80. Make no mistake, the back-knee position
made Ben Hogan's swing. (Hogan said so, I didn't).

Homer said in 7-16, "If the straightening Knee is allowed to
lock "beyond center" the subsequent unlocking is disruptive.

I assume that you are swinging. But being on Yoda Lukes
tread (Yoda Luke being a hitter), you would not want to
go from the top to the end as a hitter.

About Cupping, Vasquez said the Hogan told him that cupping
gave him balance. On the other hand, from talking with Yoda,
Yoda is not a fan of cupping at the top/end, because it sets
the foward hand in a bent condition, if held to impact it would be
the number one mistake of not having a flat forward wrist at
impact.
