I assume you mean yes bizarre, not yes reasonable, altho in Steve Elkington's
book he said that after the takeaway he focuses on getting left thumb to
point up as soon as possible in backswing.
The Pre-Impact functions of the Left Wrist (7-1 serve a different purpose
than the Right Forearm function in Start Up (2-F).
Thanks holeinone. I must admit that while I understand a great deal about the
golf swing, I'm ignorant when it comes to TGM so I don't understand your
response. I do like this forum in spite of my ignorance because you all seem
to be so knowledgable and dedicate when it comes to teaching. I just want to
know How not Why. My post about left thumb was a little facetious, altho it
is helpful for short high pitches and bunker shots. Thanks to you, I do focus
in right arm takeaway which does simplify the backswing.
Ripper,
Forgive us TGM Brothers in the Bond for being somewhat obtuse. Let me
be more direct:
When Steve Elkington focuses on his Left Thumb in Start Up, he is talking
about using his Left Forearm to Swivel the Clubface On Plane.
When TGM focuses on the Three-Dimensional Start Up, it is talking about using
the Right Forearm to take the Clubhead simultaneously Up, In
and Back On Plane.
