[12 piece bucket]

Bucket, I just missed you!! had to eat all those peanut butter 'nanner sandwiches by myself.

Ted also tried this on bambam last Thursday.

Ted = genius....bambam = pivot controlled roundhouser

My roundhousing problem is rooted in my lack of understanding of where the hands/arms needed to be and habits from my old baseball swing. Ted had me hit the ball out towards the first baseman (exagerated) to help get the concept in my coconut. Once I understood where I should have been (this is an old, ingrained habit, so it took a couple days), my pivot started behaving better to comply with what my hands/arms wanted to do. The parallel hip slide concept has definately helped with this.

Dude! Hate I missed you!

Going cross-line is a bit spookie. You feel like "well that's in the right trees and look up and the rock is streakin' at the flag."

How about this for a quote . . . from the 5th Edition . . .

2-J-3 PLANE LINE EQUIVALENTS . . . So select an alternate Target Line - for the Clubhead. Some object at which your selected Delivery Line or Angle of Approach points. At which the Clubhead is to be thrown, driven, swung or whatever. The line of the Rolling Left Hand (4-D). Not just "as if" but "for real." Now you have a Clubface Line (the Target Line 2-J-1) and a Clubhead Line (the Alternate Target 2-N). So - unless the Ball is at the Low Point, they must be two separate distinct alignments but per 7-2, they must be one inseparable Feel. Also the Right Forearm presents the correct Angle of Approach and its utilization is far superior to all other procedures. So, during Address Routine and Takeaway, adjust the Clubhead Angle of Approach to appear parallel to the Right Forearm.

So wanna see the cross-line direction and how much cross-line? Look down on the ground and imagine a line PARALLEL TO YOUR ON-PLANE RIGHT FOREARM AT FIX. Whooooomp der it tis!!!! This is your Alternate Target Line per the above for the Clubhead. And per the 3rd edition . . .

6-G-0 HAND MOTION . . . The On-Plane relationship of the Hands, Shoulder Turn and Hip Turn causes them to feel and look (to the player) as though they were all travelling parallel with the Plane Line form Top to Finish. Having a geometrical basis, this "Parallel Pivot" is acceptable therapy for the tendency for any or all of these three motions to left the Clubhead "Above" Plane and set up Pull Shot alignments. ROUNDHOUSING anyone??????????

So I'm sure you heard from Daddy Hurt . . . ABANDON the 10-5-A Plane Line???? Right??? Remember? ABANDON THE DAMN THING!!!
