Turned Shoulder - Flat
 

For a Turned Shoulder 10-6-B & 10-13-B
At the top, are both shoulders level, horizontal, the
same height from the ground?

On as flat and as straight of a line as you can get the back to the plane . . .

Bucket, you explained exactly what I needed to know. What
a prince of a guy you are.

Thanks, Donn

Shoulder Support Of the Hands
 

Right on, Bucket!

This essential alignment -- Right Shoulder back to the Plane -- is missed by those who would have you take your Left Shoulder down in the Backstroke. When the Left Shoulder goes down, the Right Shoulder goes up. And for now, forever and for always, the surface of the Inclined Plane is located back of your Right Shoulder, not up vertically!

The Hands, of course, have been On Plane since Impact Fix (8-2) and remain so during their journey to the Top (8-6). As they reach Shoulder height, they ideally are joined by the Right Shoulder (10-21-0-1). But, when the Shoulder goes up (instead of back), the Hands lose a valuable ally and must forfeit Right Shoulder support during the Start Down (8-7).

The result is a compensated Stroke and a Machine that is less efficient than it could have been.

:)

Lynn, thanks for the added input. Don't know what we would
do without you.

Could you describe (roughly) what the proper shoulder-to-hands alignment feels like at the top/end? Does it feel like there's a "connection" between the hands and the shoulder? Do you know what I mean?

Radius Power To the Top
 

Sure.

Approximate the left arm by looping a 4-foot cord around your left shoulder and stretching it with your right hand. Swing the stretched cord to the Top -- right shoulder high and On Plane -- with your right arm.

That is the Mechanic.

And that is its Feel.

I wrote a post recently for DrewitGolf with an idea for a TV teaser spot on exactly this mechanic. I'm having trouble finding that post, but when I do, I'll link it here. Meanwhile, if anybody beats me to the punch . . . Thanks!

:)

Was that post for DrewitGolf or that other great New Englander BBax? I thought the suggest demonstration you gave BBax was excellent and would love to see it in the video Gallery. It sounded both informative and entertaining.

Mistaken Identity
 

Oops . . . it was Bbax! No wonder I couldn't find it! Check out Post #27 here: http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...bbax#post53449.

Thanks, Sligo!

Lynn's Hits
 

This has the makings of a great thread. Top Ten Lynn Blake Posts!

I have cut and pasted practically all of Lynn's posts, particularly those relating to TGM proper. We are talking hundreds of pages, folks! The best information...excellent prose!

This is my all time favorite!

NO. The hands and arms. FORGET the clubhead. Swing the HANDS not the clubhead.

Check the second video from Barclays- Yoda explains the back and forth.

True Dat!
 

Internet at the homestead is kaput, internet at work youtube is verboten! Any chance the vids will make their way to this site?

Yes. This was the quickest way to get them out of my computer plus the added exposure of LBG to non- tgm golfers.

check this one out in the mean time- see free videos in gallery- Ben Doyle lessons- Mind in the Hands. Lynn talks about swinging the Hands in this too.
