Magic of the Right Forearm

[Daryl]

Is my understanding the Magic of the Right Forearm kerrect?


Re-re-research makes me think that the “Magic of the Right Forearm” has two distinct procedures.

Furthermore, in compliance with 6-B-3-0-1, Bending and Straightening the Right Elbow will RAISE AND LOWER the Left Arm and/or COCK AND UNCOCK the Left Wrist without Bending, Flattening or Cocking the Right Wrist. Practice this first at Impact Fix. So, the Right Elbow Action either powers and/or controls all three elements of Three Dimensional Impact (6-C-0) per 1-L-9. All this you will come to know as the MAGIC OF THE RIGHT FOREARM.

Hitting Procedure:

1. Bending and Straightening the Right Elbow will RAISE AND LOWER the Left Arm and COCK AND UNCOCK the Left Wrist without Bending, Flattening or Cocking the Right Wrist.
2. And, the Right Elbow Action both powers and controls all three elements of Three Dimensional Impact.
3. Hitters use Single Wrist Action and Extensor Action Take-Away to acquire these Alignments and Actions.

Swinging Procedure:

1. Bending and Straightening the Right Elbow will COCK AND UNCOCK the Left Wrist without Bending, Flattening or Cocking the Right Wrist.
2. And, the Right Elbow controls all three elements of Three Dimensional Impact.
3. Swingers use Standard Wrist Action and Extensor Action Take-Away to acquire these Alignments and Actions.

Hitters Focus on Cocking their Right Elbows 6-B-3-A, Swingers focus on Cocking their Left Wrist. See 7-20

(note to OB. This makes your understanding correct and I was mistaken thinking that Hitters don't bend the Right Elbow)

Hey Daryl

Ive been doing some re research too. Having been mainly Hitting of late, Ive been really working on the right elbow or arm just pushing the Primary Lever through the shot. No sense of turn, roll, left wrist cock and uncock etc. It does cock but on its own when the right side of triangle shortens. Like a steam shovel or crane type deal. It is a simple and deadly straight method of doing things.

I've been looking at it from a mechanics point of view and from there, I think that it's a smart way to golf. Swingers need so much flexibility. I've been looking at a lot of hitters and many seem to use the Right Arm Throw. I remember playing with guys that swing like this (though with elbows a little closer to their side than TGM Hitters). I didn't know what they were doing at the time, and neither did they maybe, but there's no mistaking it from a swinger. It looks like they're more in control. Maybe I'll give it a try.

May I join the party?

Hitting has been quite a revealation for me as well. Permission to use the right arm, who would have thought???

Precision alignments are soooo important. As a recovering "feel" player, I am amazed at the difference precision can make at set up. Right forearm on plane, left wrist flat and level. I am finding impact address with a straight line from my left shoulder through the shaft to be beneficial as well, especially in basic and acquired motion. Things I never thought of trying before...

As Yoda says in the Brian Gay video, it's just habit, why not do it properly, EVERY time!

I enjoy all of your posts guys.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin

How has the transition been for you?

Hi Kevin

How has the transition been for you?

Well, it started with the putting yips, then the chip yips, last year I added the driver yips. Couldn't even hit balls on the range for fear of killing either one of my members, a neighbor, or some poor soul having the bad luck of traveling down the highway adjacent to our second hole while I was letting it fly.

I quit golf last year.

Now I am back hitting balls, even with my members close enough to watch, playing, having fun again! All thanks to Mr. Kelley and the Golfing Machine, along with Yoda and folks here like you guys who have helped me learn...
