Originally Posted by Daryl TGM Basic Motion requires the Shaft Grip be positioned in the Lifeline of the Left Hand; Zero #3 Accumulator and no cocking of the Left Wrist.

This same stroke pattern using a traditional Grip, address engineering would include an Uncocked Left Wrist. Chip with an Uncocked Left Wrist and the Clubshaft will be (darn close) on the Turned Shoulder Plane. Uncocking the Left Wrist at Address creates a Rigid Primary Lever, reduces Hand manipulation, lends an undisturbed Clubhead Radius, Soles the Clubhead evenly for superb Contact with the Ball and reduces heel-ground and toe-ground contact. It Eliminates wobble, keeps the Flying Wedges Intact and allows the Clubface to perfectly open during the Backstroke and perfectly close during the Downstroke and eliminates throwaway. Using an Uncocked Left Wrist creates a Rigid Primary Lever for Body Power to pull through Impact; whether worked by the Pivot, or shoulders only, or a Left Arm Only Stroke. Uncocking the Left Wrist at Address increases your sensitivity to inertia. Clubhead Lag will have greater feel and you'll have ultimate control in choosing Angled or Horizontal Hinging. Choke down an inch or so. There are Professional Golfers who have a 55% Greens in Regulation statistic. Daryl, As ever, an absolute mound of information covering all aspects of the basic motion in relation to chip shots. Nothing missing other than a direct answer to Stuts' question. You ever thought of running for President. __________________ IB "My only handicap is me!!!" Burner View Public Profile Send a private message to Burner Find all posts by Burner
