TT says that he invented it, showed it to Homer, then Homer included it in the next edition of the book. Something interesting regarding takeaway appears on Disk 5 as well. TT says, "Pivot controls the backswing, Right forearm controls the downswing". He makes that statement a few times and says that is the easiest way to do it. He makes the statement when discussing "monitoring" in 5-0. Question for DG or anybody else who had the pleasure of having lessons with TT. Did he teach a right forearm takeaway??? /////////////////////////////////////////////// He taught... Right Hip starts very slightly first(clear the hip), then the right arm pickup. "Right hip/ Right arm, then Right arm/ left hip...face the target." lagster View Public Profile Send a private message to lagster Find all posts by lagster
