Thanks! Now I get it. One final thing: I never really understood how he positions the leaning "plane angle stick" behind him.
How does he make sure that he does not catch it on the downswing? He'd make a mess if he did. Maybe he has good-enough margin between the shaft and the plane - or its long enough that his plane-shift will end up well down the shaft - ensuring that he can not catch it.
mac uses this drill to help your takeaway i hit shots with it often, the plane angle shaft that is. all you do is stick the shaft in the ground on your plane line at the same angle your club is at at address about 2 feet behind the ball. i actually hit it on the backswing because i take it away on the hands plane but on the downswing i miss it by 4 to 5 inches. if you look at alot of video youll notice almost every one except hogans shaft raises 5to 12 degrees from address to impact thats why you dont hit on downswing.
That photo should be banned from this forum! Not only does he not have the "frozen bent" right wrist, but, he also clearly isn't using extensor action.
Thanks for the pics Anakin. Knowing the way that I am swinging at the moment, I will hit the shaft on the way down, hit the shaft on the ground, then the ball and then the water bottle!!!

As I understand Swinging... only a Swinger could have much success with a right hand Position like this at IMPACT.
Couples also does something very similar.
A Hitter, ideally NEEDS, and USES the #1 Pressure Point, but Swingers do not necessarily need it here.

As a sports photographer let me just say this- any picture of VJ with his right hand coming off the club will always be chosen by an editor. Watch VJ on TV when he is in the last group and you may not see that right hand leave the club even once. He does this far less then people think.
And in the pictures when he does- that right hand is still behind the shaft.
Mike - I agree to an extent!
At impact, Vijay's right hand is still on the club! Now, post impact (what is that 1- 1 millionth of a second?), his right throws but his educated left hand still is flat!

Best explanation I have hear is from Mr Brian Manzella a few years ago. He is hitting it as hard as he can with his right hand, but his educated left hand remains flat.
Makes sense to me!
Vijay is perhaps the best power ball striker on tour - Tiger included. Yoda's post is excellent!
Could you imagine having the power and accuracy he has????
