BR_Excerpts from Finally the Golf Swing Flashcards
What is important about your upper arms between elbow and shoulder?
Upper arms must be touching and creating some pressure against the sides of your chest. Pic P. 36. from 1 to 10,pressure SB at 4. (Half the distance shoulder to elbow touching on you setup to start the BS)
What is the tie in between your shoulder and left arm on BS and rest of swing.
Keep straight left arm and shoulder angle tied to each other throughout swing.
Should my BS shoulder turn be flat or angled?
On BS, shoulder angle SB 12 to 6 clock position. Pic. p.51.
Caution here. Make certain you are not getting the club behind you on BS. Remember the TA is straight back from ball, one piece.
What should my grip pressure be like?
Your grip pressure, from a scale of 1 to 10, SB a 3. Someone could easily pull the club from my hands. P. 37.
My hands and fingers totally relaxed.
What is my left shoulder turn test?
On practice. Place a club in front of both toe tips of your feet. On your shoulder turn, your left shoulder should never cross the club shaft on BS.
What is my swing thought on DS?
Begin your DS thinking only of moving your right elbow towards the RHS of your body. The faster you move your right elbow to the body, the bigger your lag angle, and the farther the ball will go. See sequence 35A P. 84.
** So you create lag by only pulling R. elbow down–Not trying to backswing more as your weight transfer is going forward in DS.
Use caution here. REM the club drop is no faster that a gravity drop, you I need to experiment with what kind of results I get with a faster elbow drop. Perhaps slow drop at first then a quick drop blended into the release. Herustics will show what works best. Watching the Senior amateur tournanment at owcc, the elbow drop was pretty fast.
Another caution. Although he says elbow drop is only swing thought, all other sequences must be done in order correctly! Esp. the transition and release.
Pitches.
Note: His BS on pitches are almost all wrist cock with hardly any BS of hand movement from address. P. 87, Sequence 36.
Here again, you must experiment to see which method works the best and is the most reliable. I suspect golf loopy will be the better.
