It helped me a lot to spend time in Lynn's section here, the chapter by chapter breakdown of discussions. It really personalized Homer's work for me. Take it slow Frank, there is a LOT to learn, it's a journey, not a crash course...

I have started to love the Right Forearm Takeaway and I have been watching Lynn and Ted Hit like crazy on film. If I understand them correctly, the RFT will achieve the entire backswing time and time again given a correct grip. In order to Hit well, a golfer must use their front heel to shift the hips shallowing the club and bringing the right arm close to the body and allowing the golfer not to run out of right arm and maintaining the Flat Left Wrist through Impact and the Forward Swivel. As Kevin has observed, without that shift of the hips, the club comes in too steeply IMHO. My pattern is "elbow bend/RFT, left heel, elbow bend" after the slight Impact Fix I learned from Lynn last Spring. Make sense? ICT BTW, the School District has been exposed as the train wreck it is, and my school has about 20 fights a week. Currently, half my school has been suspended. I am teaching my brains out as a form of self-defense and can't wait for golf-season! __________________ HP, grant me the serenity to accept what I cannot change, the courage to change what I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
