Stack & Tilt, 5 Simple Key and Tilt, Extension and Rotation

Stay with it. The so called expert in the Pic above doesn't have his wedges at 90 degrees. Use the bucket drill.

Yeah, using it for some time now. I use a grip where both hands/palms are square to the sweetspot. In order to square and throw out the clubhead from "holding the bucket" at Release, I have to square my R hand/wrist. I do this actively; otherwise it's all pushes especially with longer clubs.

Widen your Stance. No more Pushes.

Widen your Stance. No more Pushes.

Yeah, tried that. Prob with that for me is I have to be very exact on the stance, otherwise it's a guess if push or pull. Hate it. I want to eliminate one side of the course. So looked for other options. Plus that wider stance makes me skull the ball with a driver at times.

That option is to be more down to elbow plane at Release. Still can't do it all the time, but getting there. BS is the tweak for me to achieve that.

just for reference this below makes zero sense....

This is the difference between a good ball striker and a poor ball striker. Wedges at 90 degrees. The Bucket drill teaches 90 degree Wedges. It's easier than the drawing below. Put a Red Dot on the inside of your Right Wrist. Put another Dot on the Outside of your Left Wrist. The Dot on the Left Wrist will Face he Target at Impact. The Dot on the Right Wrist will Face upwards at Impact. If you rotate the Right Wrist to the Left, so that it faces the Target just like the Left Wrist Dot, then your Wedges are Aligned at "0" degrees.

The Swing Plane is a Angled Plane. The Angled Plane is at Right Angles (90 degrees) to the Vertical Plane. The Primary Lever is Aligned to the Vertical Plane (Left Arm, Wrist, Clubface) at Impact. The Right Forearm is aligned to the Swing Plane at Impact and Separation (best if always aligned to the Swing Plane).

and that picture of that guy, its just awful.

Of course you know that he's a G.S.E.D.

What are they teaching these guys? I agree, he doesn't have great Wedge Alignments.

That isn't what they tought me... and I guarantee its not what they tought him and its not in the book except as malfunction. Either way u shoild take it down its a real eyesore and does not represent the golfing machine very well people see a big picture like that and get carried away thinking that's what homer told us to do

The real problem with that photo is that it will cause a student to over accelerate the hands instead of getting the passive hands ahead of the club head at impact by using the pivot only.

So what did Homer say about that (wedge alignments especially the R flying wedge)?
