[12 piece bucket]

We've got the same addictions, Bucket. I hope the new year brings you 13 pieces of chicken in every bucket.

Advanced class:
As far as the bobbing goes, his right forearm position at address, even as a swinger, leaves few options. Read 7-3 until you wear out the ink on the page. Pay close attention to "Mandatory" and "Always, for all procedures." If the forearm position is "out-of-line" and assembles to become "in-line", something else has to change. Call me crazy, but simply changing someone's head doesn't address Loading and the Right Forearm. However, I do agree that he shouldn't have to look down his cheeks at the ball. He seeks the same "in-line" relationship that all great players seek (secondary lever system in support of the primary lever system with normal force), but you'll never see anything that resembles it at address.

Remedial class:
right arm start straight
right arm bend to hit ball
right shoulder get close to ground

Teddy-Ballgame,

On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me buttermilk soaked cajun fried bucket with thirteeeeeeeeen pieces!!!!

7-3 Truly is MAGICAL . . . so reconciling what you have positioned above without a down the line picture of Eldrick's address alignments. You are saying even as a Swinger Eldrick should set up with more bend in his Right Elbow thereby placing the Clubshaft and Right Forearm in the same plane i.e. Right Forearm Flying Wedge assembly at Address? This would solve the old Bobbing problem?

I like where you are headed with this . . .

7-3 STROKES BASIC . . . . With this “in-line” relationship of Loading and Right Forearm, it is absolutely MANDATORY that, Hitting or Swinging, it is the Right Forearm – not just the Right Hand and/or Clubshaft – that must be thrown, or driven, into Impact per 7-2-3. And study 7-11. ALWAYS, for all procedures, the Right Forearm is position “On Plane” – pointing at the Plane Line as the Angle of Attack (2-N). The On Plane Right Forearm shows the precise up-and-down direction it and the Clubshaft must take throughout the Stroke (2-J-3). The “Angle of Approach” position of the Right Forearm shows the precise Cross-Line direction the Forearm must take through Impact.

And just a lil'bit mo . . .

Even with the Pitch Basic Stroke. So the Right Forearm must leave – and precisely return to – its own Fix Position (7-8 ) “Angle of Approach” (regardless of the true Clubhead Angle of Approach) because both procedures will produce identical Clubhead Delivery Lines.

Am I smellin' watchu cookin'?
