Thanks for your response. I admit I am a little confused. It appears that your comments are in describing the downswing thrust, but my question is about the takeaway.
But the quote from TGM, about the right forearm must have a fanning motion, not a linear push is interesting. I was terrible in Geometry, so forgive me; but isn't linear a straight line? Isn't that what we are supposed to do; push straight at the aim point? Or are you saying, instead of pushing straight out towards the aim point from the elbow with the right forearm it is it describing a chopping motion towards the aim point? Is that fanning?
Your answer will be very interesting to me because maybe I have been thinking about this move towards the aim point all wrong.
Thanks again,
Jim
Hi Greyguy,
Sorry to confuse you Bro, I may have it wrong as well. I think of the fanning as being necessary on the back-stroke. That is also where Hardy talks about pulling the lawn mower cord... On the downstroke, hitting is more like a thrust with an axe handle, straight line to the aiming point just as you said.
Kevin
