Elkington sequence

[hue]

He is not swinging on plane in the followthrough. He bends the plane line right in a steering move in the followthrough .In pics 6,7, and 8 he is above plane.Pics 7and 8 (Bottom pics) indicate that there has been some flipping also.

He's on the Hands Only Plane which requires a lot of pivot motion in the follow-through..and with that sharp of a #3Acc Angle with Layback requires the Hand Path to keep going around the corner!!!!

Thanks for the observations guys. Pardon my ignorance but,
Hue when you say he is bending the plane line right are you basing this on the above plane positions in pics 6, 7 and 8? Why is this of any consequence when the ball has separated from the club by pic 5?

Annikan are you saying he is compelled to be where he is with the hands "disappearing" because of the hinge action employed and the sharp angle between the left forearm and the clubshaft shortly before impact and if so is this desirable?

He just needs to go a little more left with the hands and it would be pointing at the plane line.....even being on the hands only plane ....Staying in yur waist Bend longer than usual and Pivoting the Right Shoulder furhter forwaard would mandate the handpath to go more left...and end up on the "heel line" at finish...


Hands Only plane is great for little lobs and pitches...especialy with "manageable throwaway' and shortening the radius via "cracking the elbows around the ribcage"...this creates layback and a loss of the compression point...this is the "Modus Operandi" for a lot of advanced players...as oppossed to goin to both arm straight which maintains the compression point longer...

You are either swinging on plane or not. Elkington is not on plane in these pics. Where he ends up on pics 8,7 and 6 has been inluenced by what was going on in pic 5.

To me, that doesn't look like much of a flip (lag leakage).

?

I don't think it's that bad.....especially since it's a pitch.....as Annikan talked about.

Look at Fr. 5 in the face-on seq.
