Full Blades/Musclebacks/ or Perimeter Weighted for #3 PP?

[tim chapman]

When you bend your right wrist back, your # 3 PP point to the base line of the plane if your right arm is aligned on plane. If you do it quickly, one might call it a "flick." DO IT SLOWLY AND FEE AS IF THAT PP IS LEADING YOUR RIGHT ARM UP PLANE. Let me know if this helps or if my imbalances are adversely effecting your imbalances.

b4 i start, i might have the exact location of no3 pp incorrect, i don't have the book yet, so please correct me if it is not the fleshy bit of the rt fore-finger between the knucle & first joints that rests on the club shaft.

so when i bend the rt wrist it points through the shaft & out to a point on the base of the plane line target side of the ball ?

yes i can get the feel of this pp leading my rt arm up the plane so i think i'm with you & i like it - it gets me sensing whether i'm in touch with getting the club lagged or not.

i played 9 holes yesterday & more or less completely lost this lag feeling that had allowed me to play some good shots on Saturday, but i found it again hitting a few balls today - it is like it causes the club face to become hot & live - i love it !! It is definitely a big step in the right direction for me.

not off message i hope - can someone point me towards an understanding of how the right wrist can stay bent & level whilst the left wrist has cocked at the top of the backswing - has me foxed TIA

The Magic Of The Right Forearm

Once you learn the proper Strong Single Action Grip, can't do it without a perfect SSA grip, and get your Right Forearm Set Up On Plane, you use your right forearm and elbow to cock your left wrist. Takes a little time, a little patience, a little work, you will love the results...

Start with the grip.
Move to set up.
Don't rush, take it in stages.

Watch videos from YODA.

Work with an instructor who understands the Machine. Incredibly important as youy are getting started. I see too many guys try to do it on their own, get frustrated, and quit.

thanks Kevin

hard to believe, but there is no one registered within 100 miles of me. On the plus side i'd say i'm not easily discouraged but maybe i will end up having to make a monthly trip to the nearest one.
Can i get a good handle on the SSA grip from somewhere on the website or maybe the Alignment Golf video from Yoda ?

you use your right forearm and elbow to cock your right wrist............ was this meant to say something else ? The rt wrist is always bent & level rather than cocked ? i have been trying to work it out but will have to call time on it for now

Yoda KNOWS. Kevin, is dam good, and I am trying to be helpful.

After you get the feeling of bending your right. elbow several hundred times, you will realize that you can do so quickly.

Please don't resent my humor. I consider myself thick so I'm laughing at myself for taking so long to learn this.

Ok, back to you. So your hands are clamps. The strength is in your hands. Relax your wrists. Pretend you are effeminate. You can be if you want for real, but I'm trying to describe a light, loose wrist. Some of my best friends....etc.

(Actually, I know lots of men who are young and gay. You see, I believe in live and let live and I do not disrespect people because of their sexual preference. If I wanted someone to change their preference, the only way to do it would be to be accepting and respectful of their insight as a person. Haters never win!)

Make your trigger finger taught and your wrists very loose. Put your right forearm on plane at Standard Address. (Tim, I'm hoping you have a book, since it's crucial.) Your left wrist must be straight and level and your right wrist is bent. (The Barclay's video is great for this discussion!) Bend your right wrist slowly back and watch what your # 3 PP does. LOOK. Let it lead to your shoulder.

I'm trying to work on thrusting my right elbow down through the ball to maximize LAG. What I've deduced about the Plane thus far is that if you extend your right arm to reach it, your extended right arm has to come back to it regardless of your hand action, IF YOU BEND YOUR RIGHT ELBOW. and, if my right wrist is loose (if GOD allows another "if"), then my LAG in my # 3PP will be maxed out! My punch forearm will produce good distance with my clubs.

I have an artificial hip Tim and I'm trying to max out my upper body technique to compensate for a slow Pivot.

Now, Yoda, or OB or Daryl might want to correct my take on this and that's ok, since I hate being an idiot!

Thanks for the reply

ok gotcha, i'll bear it in mind, appreciate that you can be bothered to try & help

we should get along famously - you can't be any thicker than me

totally agree hate & anger can't get us anywhere worth going to

(Tim, I'm hoping you have a book, since it's crucial.)

err guilty i'm afraid, been trying to get it for a fair price in the UK, 100+ usd seemed a bit steep on Amazon, the registered pro's here don't seem to sell it or are out of stock - so i'm getting it sent over for 70 usd but i'm doing my best to keep up in the meantime

ok i'll give this some time with girly wrists & elbows i'm sure you make an important point here - thanks

IF YOU BEND YOUR RIGHT ELBOW. and, if my right wrist is loose (if GOD allows another "if"), then my LAG in my # 3PP will be maxed out!

ok cool, sounds like it is working for you & also it makes sense to me - which may or may not be a positive

Sorry man, should read "use your right elbow to cock your LEFT wrist" ...

no problem i figured it was a typo

does the right wrist bend increase as it accomodates the left wrist cocking ?

Please check with one of the others to be sure this answer is correct. My understanding:

It depends upon your selected Address Procedure. If you set up with "Impact Hands" your right wrist angle is pre-set and doesn't change. If you set up with "Mid-Body Hands" your right wrist will bend and snap into position at some point in the back stroke.

While I am attempting to Educate my Hands, I am using the "Impact Fix" set up procedure and trying to maintain my angles. Particularly effective in basic motion...
