Bucket...you are way too flattering...just doing what I know and love dude!!!!
For you "poo-pooers" of MORAD out there...check this out!!!
Mac starts on the Hands only Plane until have way up then shifts to the Elbow plane and as aresult of the lengthening of his stroke locates the Turned Shoulder Plane even with the Rotated Shoulder Turn Component....then pending on ball flight...in this case shifts back down to the elbow plane during downstroke and impact...then after folow-through begins to shift it up to the Turned Shoulder Plane and perhaps on this shot slightly above....Definitley NOT Zero Shift!!!
But where it counts...
NOW you may not like or understand his backstroke pattern...
BUT let's TALK...
start down,downstroke, release, impact,follow-through and finish...
SHOW ME BETTER!!!
AS
Looks like the Hand Plane is a set-up preference since it is abandon during take-away. I can see how it feels comfortable and strengthens the feel of accumulators #2 and #3. What does Mac like about the set up?
I'm posting VJ's Mess vs Mac's hear cause my good friend the Bucket asked for it..Now compare ...Who's the real ballstriker???
Player A
OR
Player B
Mmm. STRONG LIKE BULL.
Ballstriker . . . Where would a player setting up on the Hands Only Plane establish the Right Forearm Flying Wedge alignments? Is there a preference? Or would it dependend on Loading and/or Hinging employeed?
In your Library of Strokes is there anyone who's alignments would approach Mac's?
The Secret is to keep the right wrist level as you lower down to the HandsOnly plane and stand further from the ball so as to increase Waist Bend and in Mac's Case a Deep Knee Bend...The Flying wedge alignment could not be established until the plane of the clubshaft reached the plane of the right forearm without coking the right wrist...in this case...just prior to 1/2 way up...
Warning...
Most players make the huge mistake like I did... is by lowering to the Hands Only plane by Cocking Both Wrists and holding the plane of Both arms Vertical...Both a huge NO-NO!!!
Mac kept telling me my wrists(plural) were too cocked and my arms too vertical...What it looks like and what it is ...two different animals!!!

as- is there a biomechanical advantage to increased waist bend (mac looks at least 45 degrees!) and when you do bend that much how do you determine how far to stand from the ball? also, re: vertical arms being a no-no, it appears that mac's arms are brought in a bit (from the vertical) toward his body (as opposed to reaching out toward the ball) and with a bend to his right elbow - is that what it is? thanks ...

Yep yep. I can see from the pics that his right wrist is definitely not cocked. So really he hasn't lowered his hands by cocking the wrists. He has lowered his hands via bending his hips and knees . . . No?
However, by Mr. K's definition he hasn't achieved the Right Forearm Flying Wedge at address. But he seems to have established the Right Forearm and Clubshaft in the same plane very well by the third frame huh?

annikan- could you elaborate on the arms too vertical fault - how exactly should the arms be. thanks.
