It's been a long time. Work has kept me busy 24/7.
Above is a pre-impact photo of Jim Furyk. It serves to illustrate that one can build a respectable game and include almost any oddity one can imagine. JF drops his hands straight-down-vertically to the ground before finding the Elbow Plane. That’s not “Tracing the Plane Line” and it’s not clearing the Hips in the traditional sense. His Power Package looks ok, but his Hips are doing what? Is his Pivot supporting Delivery Alignments? Is his Pivot helping the #3 Pressure Point Trace the Plane Line?
Power comes from the Accumulators and not from flinging the Hips forward and toward the target like Elvis Presley in Jail House Rock. If a student starts acting like Elvis, then V.J. gives them the dowel drill to thwart other bad habits before they start creeping into the swing.
Consider what happens when planting the left heel initiates the downswing. The Hips move slightly toward the target, the left hip moves away from the plane line, the right hip doesn’t move much toward the plane line, the shoulders instantly begin their rotation as the right shoulder and Power Package are “driven” toward the plane line which helps/allows the #3 Pressure Point Trace the Plane Line . The Right Elbow will “clear” the Right Hip and the dowel drill will have served its purpose. The Purpose is to teach that the Pivot moves to support all of the delivery Alignments while the Accumulators create Power.
