zONE 1 -THE PIVOT
Hi
I'm new around here and TGM, could some one give me a starting point on what they think a standard pivot would be, and also would Yoda be able to give us what he thinks Mr Kelley would recommend for std components for a swinger.
Thanks and I am enjoying the site

See the MacDonald Exercises #1-#4 here.

http://lynnblakegolf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4435

Note the 'mark time' Foot and Knee Action (Exercises #5-#6), the Turned Chin (TGM / 1-L #1 and #2); the full turn of the Hips and Shoulders (10-12-A); the Flat Backstroke Shoulder Turn (10-13-B #2); and the vertical Back.

Dear Yoda,

What is your opinion regarding the Flat Backstroke Shoulder Turn (10-13-B #2) and the rotated shoulder turn (10-13-C)?

I use the Flat Backstroke Shoulder Turn (10-13-B #2) in conjunction with the On Plane Downstroke Shoulder Turn (10-13-D #3). This combination is the Standard Shoulder Turn (10-13-A).

The Rotated Shoulder Turn (10-13-C) and its consequent Shiftless Hip Turn (10-14-C) is a 'low power' Variation and is normally confined to short shots.

Are the stack and tilters using the rotated shoulder turn?

I think they say they are.



Andy Plummer posts occasionally on our site as Plumdog. Perhaps he could respond.
