[12 piece bucket]

Mike,

This is a fascinating discussion. Thank you for these posts.

I assume you are describing a Swinging procedure with the exercise. To put a "label" on these motions, I would say that #1 describes the "start up swivel" and #4 describes the "release swivel".

I'm probably doing something wrong because I don't do step #2. Once I reach the step #1 position, I maintain it to the top and back down to club once again parallel to the ground.

What am I missing?

Mike,

To piggy back on RCW's question . . . where would the club be pointing in step #2 based on the pronation of the right forearm? "across the line" or "laid off"?

Also, when you define "hands" are we talking humerous bone, forearms, wrists, hands and fingers?

I agree with RCW you are "on to something."
