Okay, Teach, need a cheat sheet...

ZB?

RFT - Right Forearm Tracing
EA - Ext. Action
BRW - Bent Right Wrist
BLP - Base Line Plane?

think i get most of this ICT but flick my #3 PP back
would you explain what you mean here ? thanks
i know what #3 pp is btw just not sure what you are feeling/doing with it

Distances are messed up in a good way. All I'm doing when Hitting is TRACING BLP with # 3 PP to my shoulder (smoother is better), Thrusting (Punching) DOWN, and making sure my ball is slightly ahead of my belt buckle. I can sweep the shots too with Standard Address.
PW -130 yards carry and rolls, Hitting, and more Sweeping/Swinging
9 - 140 " " "
8 - 150+ "
7 - 160 +
6 - close to the 175 yard fence and 5 and 4 irons are into the fence on the fly! The sound is very cool, too.

Holy buckets, City, are sure your driving range isn't an empty parking lot? Those are some prodigious yardages.

OK, here we go...
 

When you bend your right wrist back, your # 3 PP point to the base line of the plane if your right arm is aligned on plane. If you do it quickly, one might call it a "flick." DO IT SLOWLY AND FEE AS IF THAT PP IS LEADING YOUR RIGHT ARM UP PLANE. Let me know if this helps or if my imbalances are adversely effecting your imbalances. :)

I am punching down on the ball with about 90% of my weight into my Hula! I throw the # 3 PP back and up Plane and then crush that pebble by driving my forearm into it! My ball position is really back towards my (ample) middle.
:golfcart:

Do you think you are describing "lagging clubhead takeaway?"

b4 i start, i might have the exact location of no3 pp incorrect, i don't have the book yet, so please correct me if it is not the fleshy bit of the rt fore-finger between the knucle & first joints that rests on the club shaft.

so when i bend the rt wrist it points through the shaft & out to a point on the base of the plane line target side of the ball ?

yes i can get the feel of this pp leading my rt arm up the plane so i think i'm with you & i like it - it gets me sensing whether i'm in touch with getting the club lagged or not.

i played 9 holes yesterday & more or less completely lost this lag feeling that had allowed me to play some good shots on Saturday, but i found it again hitting a few balls today - it is like it causes the club face to become hot & live - i love it !! It is definitely a big step in the right direction for me.

not off message i hope - can someone point me towards an understanding of how the right wrist can stay bent & level whilst the left wrist has cocked at the top of the backswing - has me foxed :-) TIA

The Magic Of The Right Forearm

Once you learn the proper Strong Single Action Grip, can't do it without a perfect SSA grip, and get your Right Forearm Set Up On Plane, you use your right forearm and elbow to cock your left wrist. Takes a little time, a little patience, a little work, you will love the results...

Start with the grip.
Move to set up.
Don't rush, take it in stages.

Watch videos from YODA.

Work with an instructor who understands the Machine. Incredibly important as youy are getting started. I see too many guys try to do it on their own, get frustrated, and quit.

Kevin

thanks Kevin

hard to believe, but there is no one registered within 100 miles of me. On the plus side i'd say i'm not easily discouraged :-) but maybe i will end up having to make a monthly trip to the nearest one.
Can i get a good handle on the SSA grip from somewhere on the website or maybe the Alignment Golf video from Yoda ?
