I use the Claw to eliminate an, ahem, stroke flaw. I would like to use a normal grip, but have not had much luck. However, I have been experimenting inside this winter and came across something that I hope you can advise me on. I have been working on getting my right forearm in line and directly behind the shaft. To do so, I have to bend my right arm a little more. It feels very difficult to yip it b/c it feels very "locked." Is this an on plane right forearm that everyone discusses? If so, would my previous setup, with the right forearm more under/below the shaft contribute to a jerky stroke?
Hmmm...
Not sure about the 'locked' feeling. I suspect it's due to zeroing out #1 accumlator.
However....the onplane right forearm is inline with the shaft as established at impact fix. If, at fix, your right forearm is inline (per 7-2,7-3, and 2-F) with the shaft, then you right forearm is 'onplane'.
Yes, thanks VJ and Philly. Went and looked at the Imapct Fix thread aswell and read this bit that helps too from VJ:
"In the shoulder only stroke the pivot is zeroed out and the shoulders move only because they are a part of the power package. Impact and address match. The only difference could, but should not be, the height of the putter at address and impact. If you ground the putter then a difference will be found, however if you sole the putter you are in good shape.
Since the pivot is zeroed out there is no weight shift or axis tilt. Because the hands are frozen there is no bending or cockig."
There is a great down the line picture of Jimenez putting and it really looks like his right arm is in line. I don't know how to post the pic and the site requires registration. Here is the link http://www.bombsquadgolf.com/invboar...owtopic=100645
4th pic down. Further down there are 2 other pictures of people putting and their right arms don't look as good. One is of Monty. If anyone can see these, is Jimenez's setup better?
