Frozen Moe - Stroke Sequence
 

Sequences of the pictures ..... :)

Great stuff Mathew. I love watching how Moe's hands move. Very 'on plane' the way I see it. A great horizontal hinge too.

Maintaining The Tripod
 

Thanks, Mathew.

As all can see, Moe Bobs a bit through Impact (due to more Knee flex than at Address). He knew where he was going though, so all is forgiven. However, also note that there has been no Sway.

Mathew, I'd appreciate it if you would draw some Triangles (on the Front View sequence) to illustrate the Tripod Concept at Address, Top, Impact and Follow-Through. This will clearly illustrate that Moe's Head has remained 'precisely between the Feet'. Only when he allows the momentum of the Stroke to carry him well onto his Left Foot (and remember, he has an extra-wide Stance) does he allow his Head to move out of the Tripod relationship.

Kinda like this Yoda :)

The Illustrated Pivot Swing Center Tripod
 

Exactly, Mathew. Thanks!

Everyone will benefit from studying this relationship, and almost all readers need to immediately incorporate it into their Stroke. There is no easy way: You just look LOOK LOOK and DO IT!

Yoda, could you go into more about how to set one's head correctly at fix before going to adjusted address so that their is no need for bobbing on the downstroke ...

Thanks :)

This is great. I always thought sway referred to the hips. Never occured to me that sway referred to the head/feet tripod .

Moe has a lot of hip slide on the downswing, but maintains the tripod.

Reference the chair in the back ground. He almost covers it with his left hip. His swing went to END back then. Hey Hula Hula! His more recent swings end at TOP. Interesting that he is a Swinger using 10-16-B Knee action Left Anchor. Could this have something to do with the bobbing or is this a symptom rather than a cause?

Single-shift BTW. Inside to elbow-plane, up to TSP, down TSP to impact. Shift is from elbow to TSP in backswing.

birdie_man I must be getting tired, how can you tell he is using the TSP? Did you learn that from a different sequence, taken from a better angle? I've drawn the TSP onto this one, with this camera angle, and Moe's shaft is nowhere near the TSP on the way down. Except for maybe two frames, his shaft never even looks onplane to me, although the camera angle might be to blame.

Mathew could we see Moe's first tripod drawn over him at impact, just to see how much his head and ankle have moved? Thanks for the sequence :D Get rid of the Bob and add a right foot anchor and you would have a tripod that didn't change in size like Moe's has, right?
