Downswing Triggers

[6bmike]

Do you straighten your right knee as Snead did?

Thanks

No, I don't use Snead as a model to copy or anyone else. After loading the left wrist on the back swing, I just want to pull down and let it fly and uncock. It's the ol' Roll Prep of accumulator 3- transfering power from acc2.

I like Snead but I could never look like him.

As always thanks for your input guys. I will practice and experiment with your suggestions.....

DG,
I have also experimented with just starting my DS with bringing my right shoulder down the plane line like Tommy, and not thinking of anything else.
It does seem to shift my weight and simultaneously open my hips at impact. (Im referring to the drill where he puts the club behind his arms, and then just moves his rt. shoulder down the target line)

"Left shoulder up."

"Drop and pivot." (or "drop and hit it.")

...

(or- "drop it like it's hot, drop it like it's hot.")

Thx DG,
So I should concentrate on the rt foremarm going down the target/plane line and not the right shoulder? Maybe you can tell which of the Tommy vids shows this downswing procedure? I always thought it was tough to hold the rt shoulder back, but since learning TGM mechanics the rt shoulder down move seems get the job done IF I get my weight to the left side.

Birdie, thats kind of what Ive been doing as mentioned earlier, head over rt knee and rt shoulder down plane. This type of thing was NEVER taught to me by pro's here in Indy. Ive only seen a couple couple pro's, and this d/s thought/move, which basically eliminates the OTT "lunge", was never even mentioned.

Thats why you gotta love TGM.....

Thanks

Thanks Powerdraw, hope the info helps. I'm not here to debate the issue anymore. If someone is trying to seek help in an honest way. I'll help out. If you here to debate the subject, you're really here to debate Homer's work. What Tommy taught can be found in the book. There is actually nothing to debate, it's a proven system/approach (Tomasello students winning tournaments (at all levels) and/or lowering their scores/handicaps).

DG,

Been out of town man. I really do appreciate the work you put into your response. That is classic.... I have printed and put it in my TGM file

Exactly what, does TT mean when he says that one has to connect in the beginning of the downswing?
