DG,

Then I'll ask again, in spite of your previous refusals to answer - how does the right forearm move? It has to be from right shoulder flywheel action OR right tricep thrust. There are no other mechanisms available to move the right forearm downplane.

Right Shoulder responds to the action of the Right Forearm...Right Triceps respond to the action of the Right Forearm....there I said it (and I have been saying FOR A LONG TIME). For the umpteenth time it's called the MAGIC OF THE RIGHT FOREARM.

For Tom Tomasello October 1993...driving range Deer Track Golf Resort.

Backstroke sequence: Right Forearm (Takeaway), Shoulders, Hips (clearing right hip).

Downstroke sequence: Right Forearm (start down), Shoulders, Hips (pay attention to the left hip it must keep moving...sliding action motion at the beginning of the downstroke (in response to the right forearm moving downplane), rotating hip action once the right arm reconnects to the body, right elbow in front of the right hip.)

DG

OK, what causes this right forearm "action" that EVERYTHING is responding to?

The GOLFER... naturally....and his/her right forearm!!! The proceeding action would be birth from his or her mother and father....just kidding (Joe, we should make this a comedy routine).

DG

I do not feel my right forearm move. I feel my hands move, my hips move, my elbow even. The right forearm is pure magic but I can't start it without the pivot, hips and hands moving first. The right forearm is a major alignment tracing the Plane Line, I don't want to move it out of place without my lane producer- pivot hips.


And as you make mention to often,
Penick's magic move isn't an arm move first. It is a hand shift, elbow relocation, with a simultaneous weight shift or slide.

just my two cents within the family of devoted machiners

Mike,

Right Arm Swinging and Three Barrel Hitting use the right forearm to initiate startdown.

DG

I bump to start when I hit, I "feel" as if my pivot has ended before the arms strike downward.

Mike listen (read) carefully....

3 barrel hitting - right forearm initiates the downswing.

4 barrel hitting - Hip Slide initiates the downswing.

You compared apples and oranges...In my previous post, I said right arm swinging and 3 barrel hitting...nothing mentioned about 4 barrel hitting.

DG

Right Forearm does not initiate the Downstroke for 3 Barrel Hitting.

What you feel like is happening and what actually happens (or should happen) are two different things.

Tongzilla,

You left us hanging....what starts the downswing in 3 barrel hitting?....then tell us the difference between 3 barrel and 4 barrel hitting???
