you use your right forearm and elbow to cock your right wrist............ was this meant to say something else ? The rt wrist is always bent & level rather than cocked ? i have been trying to work it out but will have to call time on it for now :eyes:

i'm sure i will - thanks for the help

Tim, a few things to know.
 

Yoda KNOWS. Kevin, is dam good, and I am trying to be helpful. :eyes:

After you get the feeling of bending your right. elbow several hundred times, you will realize that you can do so quickly. :)

Please don't resent my humor. I consider myself thick so I'm laughing at myself for taking so long to learn this.

Ok, back to you. So your hands are clamps. The strength is in your hands. Relax your wrists. Pretend you are effeminate. You can be if you want for real, but I'm trying to describe a light, loose wrist. Some of my best friends....etc.

(Actually, I know lots of men who are young and gay. You see, I believe in live and let live and I do not disrespect people because of their sexual preference. If I wanted someone to change their preference, the only way to do it would be to be accepting and respectful of their insight as a person. Haters never win!)

Make your trigger finger taught and your wrists very loose. Put your right forearm on plane at Standard Address. (Tim, I'm hoping you have a book, since it's crucial.) Your left wrist must be straight and level and your right wrist is bent. (The Barclay's video is great for this discussion!) Bend your right wrist slowly back and watch what your # 3 PP does. LOOK. Let it lead to your shoulder.

I'm trying to work on thrusting my right elbow down through the ball to maximize LAG. What I've deduced about the Plane thus far is that if you extend your right arm to reach it, your extended right arm has to come back to it regardless of your hand action, IF YOU BEND YOUR RIGHT ELBOW. and, if my right wrist is loose (if GOD allows another "if"), then my LAG in my # 3PP will be maxed out! My punch forearm will produce good distance with my clubs.

I have an artificial hip Tim and I'm trying to max out my upper body technique to compensate for a slow Pivot.

Now, Yoda, or OB or Daryl might want to correct my take on this and that's ok, since I hate being an idiot!

Thanks for the reply

ok gotcha, i'll bear it in mind, appreciate that you can be bothered to try & help :)

we should get along famously - you can't be any thicker than me :)

totally agree hate & anger can't get us anywhere worth going to

err guilty i'm afraid, been trying to get it for a fair price in the UK, 100+ usd seemed a bit steep on Amazon, the registered pro's here don't seem to sell it or are out of stock - so i'm getting it sent over for 70 usd but i'm doing my best to keep up in the meantime

ok i'll give this some time with girly wrists & elbows :-) i'm sure you make an important point here - thanks

ok cool, sounds like it is working for you & also it makes sense to me - which may or may not be a positive :-)

Sorry man, should read "use your right elbow to cock your LEFT wrist" ...

Kevin

no problem i figured it was a typo

does the right wrist bend increase as it accomodates the left wrist cocking ?

Please check with one of the others to be sure this answer is correct. My understanding:

It depends upon your selected Address Procedure. If you set up with "Impact Hands" your right wrist angle is pre-set and doesn't change. If you set up with "Mid-Body Hands" your right wrist will bend and snap into position at some point in the back stroke.

While I am attempting to Educate my Hands, I am using the "Impact Fix" set up procedure and trying to maintain my angles. Particularly effective in basic motion...

Kevin

ok thanks, that increase in rhw bend idea was a red herring, i was tring to figure out how the lhw cocking was accomodated but i think i'm getting it now - as you say by the movement of the rt elbow & forearm the goal being to get to the top with a cocked left wrist & a level right wrist

Tim, if you ever get any insight from my typed offerings you should...
 

by several lotto tickets . :)

City,
I'm thinking sometimes you might be living from time to time in a parallel universe.
Are you still able to play in Philly? Are you putting more focus into pp#1?

Hi Jerry! Kevin, Tim, Daryl, OB , everyone!
 

I'm writing this while a southern warmfront pushes our temperature and trash cans into the air! 65 degrees tomorrow and sunny/windy. We are talking dirt range and the Schnauzer, Anna-Louisa!

After I trace the BLP (Base LIne Plane) by "tossing," "flicking," or "pointing " my # 3 PP at it , letting it pull my arm to shoulder height with slight Extensor Action, I am aware of two things which I count to myself as a check list.

Do this at horizontal level and incline gradually with your practice swing. Extend your right arm, fully with club in the middle of your right forearm. Snap your right wrist back for exaggeration of the feeling of LAG crashing against your # 3 PP and your right /back elbow bending. Then forget about the LAG and concentrate only on your bent elbow which you will shoot out at the imaginary horizontal ball/target.

By rapidly accelerating your Bennding Right Wrist/back wrist, you have plasterd the LAG against the # 3 PP and your opposite elbow straightening will keep it there until you come to your left/frontside ear. Fire the elbow and (sooner or later) the # 3 PP will go through the ball at speed.

Playing with this approach gives me good distance until I start to get nervous and forget to fire my elbow. If I haltingly cast a fishing line, it get's messed up. Ditto for the club! Cast the # 3 PP at the ball or throw it or....

My hope is to make this casting automatic and forget all the underlying essential instructional geometries and simply play golf which must be the state of mind the greats played with in competition, imho.

I want a player's mind when playing, not an engineers.

I will let you know how it goes, you can be sure. :thumright
