But he is not more capable. Though he has good control of his Clubface (Hinge Action as controlled by the Flat Left Wrist), his control of the Clubhead Line-of-Flight (Inclined Plane as controlled by Right Forearm and #3 Pressure Point Tracing) is abysmal. Even in these powerfully-made full Shots, his sweeping Impact Geometry reveals the truth -- he hits Up through the Ball, not Down, and has no idea how to achieve a true Three-Dimensional Downstroke (Downward, Outward and Forward).

Yoda,

Great to hear your view on the efforts of Ben & the student.

Watching this 3rd video, I think I am starting to see what the student is missing too. He seems to be having issues regarding RFP and extensior action. His right arms (elbow) seems to be so extended through most of the down stroke that it is getting close to a right arm swing. I think this might be a root cause that the student is unaware of.

The power leak may be a compensation to avoid hitting the turf before the ball and/or prematurely closing the clubface.

While Ben is stressing hip action and passive hands. I believe RFP and extensior action might turn on the lightbulb with this student.

This is a great exercise in swing analysis. Please let me know how I am doing.

Best regards,

Bernt
