Do u have the book? What's absurd is u telling to pull up the hands right before impact
I owned the book before you even existed.
I didn't say that it should be done as a deliberate action. It happens because impact hands location for a good swing is past low point of the hands, which are being pulled up and in by the left shoulder.
So, let's look at the Impact picture 9-3-10 on pg. 131 in the book(6th ed). Look at the white hand path and look at where the hands are at Impact - they are on the upward arc. They have passed their low point and are moving upward at Impact.
I'll give u that and I understand the left shoulder is pulling upward however wether u meant it as a deliberate action or not this what golfers are reading and homer wants u to swing the hands down plane down down down. Sure the hand path of golfers may not ever be a straight line as in the straight line delivery path but the effort is a straight line and other instances the effort of what your Trying to accomplish for the desired results is what matters even if sometimes it is not as literal as some of the things in the book. Homer Said to not be a hacker u had to have a flat left wrist does this mean if u don't have a flat left wrist then u absolutely cannot hit a golf ball with power and accuracy. No it doesn't he cant say that but would I recommend otherwise, no would I recommend pulling the hands upward before impact, no I would tell any student to hit down an through the ball with a strong focus on the word down, maybe incidentally his hands will be minutely on the upswing at impact for a driver. fine but the effort should always be down and out.
