Yoda- In Mr. Kelley's notes on Bobby Clampett's follow-through he mentioned the relationship between the length of shoulder turn and how far the hands must travel before both arms become straight. Can you help me understand his meaning when he mentions reducing the shoulder turn so the hands can be automatically stopped at any selected point. I know this concept has been mentioned before but I am still not geeting it. My experimentations have left me even more puzzled.
Thank you, Eric
Eric,
Not Yoda but, if you turn to page 117 in the 6th Edition reference 8-11 in this regard. Note that it mentions that the straight arm position is dictated by the location of the right shoulder at impact. View this by moving the right shoulder at different locations down plane. Also view this by referencing the photo that represents 8-11. If you have everything as shown and you keep both arms straight and you move the right shoulder back and going up, note the location of the follow-through.
Hope this helps.
By the way, this is the same procedure that is used in 12-5-1 for a putting stroke to adjust the length of stroke for follow-through.
Eric,
Randy's response is correct and should help you see how the amount of RightShoulder Turn through Impact governs the length of the Follow-Through. If it'sstill not clear, let us know and we'll try again.
