power or assist, therefore able to maintain the right hand bend and therefore
must need right shoulder down) such that the hand directly straight to the
ball. The video shows my shoulder down, left arm etc.. Therefore I understand
the above comments and thought this should be hand controlled pivot since
that what I focus on the path of the hand and I don't focus on other parts.

"The Swinger's active Right Shoulder accelerates the Left Arm, and
Centrifugal Force and its Throw-Out Action then powers the Clubhead."

The above statements make me think to work on the right shoulder again.
Please note that I am still learning so I can only focus one move at a time.
Before I do that I just wonder should I work on the right shoulder or
still concentrate on the left hand path only
.


Thanks. [Bold by Yoda.]



In drill and on the practice tee, train your Right Shoulder to move back
to the Plane
on the Backstroke and down the Plane on the
Downstroke. Then, immediately return control of your procedure to your Hands.
In that regard, after your Swinger's Drag Load -- Pulling the Butt End of the
Club toward the Plane Line to Start Down -- focus on your directing your
now-Loaded Right Forefinger #3 Pressure Point -- not the Left Hand --
down the Straight Line Delivery Path. As you maintain this Straight Line
Delivery of the Clubhead Lag Pressure, allow your Left Wrist to Uncock and
then your Left Hand to Roll.


There is Magic in the Swinger's Centrifugal Release Sequence. Master these
Mechanics, and it will be yours.

Jim,

Here's my Rx for your Clubhead Speed problem.

From the Top of your swing, do these three things:

First, Drag the Butt End of the Club toward the Target Line
somewhere behind the Ball. Makes no difference at what spot, just Drag the
Club toward the Target Line behind the Ball;

Second, almost immediately after you've begun to Drag the Club
Down, let your Left Wrist Uncock, just like you were using your Left
Wrist to sling a water bottle directly toward the Target Line behind
the Ball;

Third, once you've felt the 'slinging' start, Roll your Hands
on a Straight Line through the Ball.

Drag, Uncock and Roll, Jim. Got it?


Now do it!

A very astute observation, MizunoJoe.

Jim will attempt to do as I've instructed, i.e., Drag the Butt End of the
Club Down Plane. Hopefully, this will get him Loading properly. For sure,
it's a 'light years' improvement over his current Hand Throw from the Top.

But the best Loading -- whether the Swinger Loading the Left Wrist or the
Hitter Loading the Right Elbow -- is always done by the Pivot. In other
words, the Hands are 'left at the Top,' as the Pivot begins its forward
motion. This is the only real assurance the player has that his Pivot will
remain properly ahead of the Hands throughout the Downstroke.

Will Jim be able to do that on his own?


Probably not, but at least now he knows what to do.

Now do it!





Yoda, if you would drag the butt end of the club at the target line
behind the ball, would the farther behind the ball on the target line you
drug the handle poduce more lag? Or is there an optimun target at which to
shoot for?

Thanks

Whiteflash,

The answer is 'No' to both questions. As a Swinger, you ideally Load the Club
by Dragging the Butt End toward the Line (10-19-C). The exact point on the
Line will be changing constantly due to the Path of the Hands.

For Aiming purposes, you should actually be monitoring the Right Forefinger
#3 Lag Pressure Point. In so doing, let your Downstroke Pivot (that has
produced and is now sustaining the Drag Load) simultaneously move the Lag
Pressure Point precisely (and strongly!) down the mentally-constructed
straight line toward your Aiming Point (6-E-2-1).
