"To start your downswing, let your weight shift to your left foot while bringing your right elbow back down to your body."
There is a big difference between your recollection of Tommy's advice to "pull down as you shift" and DG's steadfast demand that we uncock the right elbow from the top and in advance of any lower body action.


Sorry guys that is incorrect....for a swinging stroke using 10-20-B, the golfer starts the downstroke by uncocking the right elbow through the muscles of the right forearm the pivot responds with a sliding action...then a rotational action during the release phase. Tommy executes it on both the Chapter and Letter series videos.

It's Right Hip Right Forearm/Right Forearm Left Hip.....not Right Hip Right Forearm/Left hip Right Forearm.

Lynn, I know you're just trying to give me hard time...
