For The Teachers
what do you think is the hardest thing to teach to someone. hank johnson, in his book, said it was when to teach the right arm to straighten.

Clubhead Lag Pressure #3 Pressure Point.

3-D Concept
The toughest thing to communicate is that all strokes on an inclined plane are three dimensional. Most folk try to go forward when ONLY down and out will do.

both sided putting
Hands down (in my humble opinion) the answer to a great question....
teaching someone to use both sides of the brain when putting. |
rhythm/ teaching the rolling of #3 in sync with the straightening right arm

You can't teach a person anything; you can only help them discover it within themself. That is the challenge.

Do it without thinking of doing it.

Getting to low point with the correct hinge action.Before that we need to get the rt elbow in pitch position with the magic of the rt forearm.Before that we need a flat left wrist with extensor action at the top. , We must insure they on plane with a stationary head ( turned shoulder is my favorite ) .
Oh yea they had better have a nice zone 1 pivot and train the hands to lead this symphony.But first a great grip and the coded map of this complicated movement. But the most important is to stress that their main problem is that THEY DONT NOW WHAT THEIR PROBLEM IS. They say the devil is in the details I say the devil is not knowing the details -------------MAC O'GRADY |
being both sided

Left Brain (Right Handed): Prefer Classical Music Prefer things like instructions to be done verbally Good at math Like to read Very Logical Dog lovers Don't enjoy clowning around Can't be hypnotized Usually remember things only specifically studied Need total quiet to read or study Like to read realistic stories Like to write non-fiction Prefer individual counseling Enjoy copying or tracing pictures and filling in details Also like to read action stories Usually rational Usually do things in a planned orderly way If you have to answer someone's question, you won't let your personal feelings get in the way Good at algebra Can remember verbal material Almost never absent minded Like to tell stories but not act them out Can think better sitting down Like to be a music critic Attentive during long verbal explanations Prefer well structured assignments over open ended ones Read for specific details and facts Skilled at sequencing ideas Likes to be Organized Right Brain (Left Handed): Prefer rock music Prefer visual instructions with examples Good at sports Good at art Cat lovers Enjoy clowning around Can be hypnotized Like to read fantasy and mystery stories Can listen to music or TV while studying Like to write fiction Prefer group Fun to dream about things that will probably never happen Enjoy making up own drawings and images Good at geometry Like organizing things to show relation Can memorize music Occasionally absentminded Like to act out stories Enjoy interacting effectively with others Think better when lying down Become restless during long verbal explanations Enjoy creative storytelling Prefer to learn through free exploration Good at recalling spatial imagery Read for main details Skilled in showing relationships between ideas Preference for summarizing over outlining Solve problems intuitively Very Spontaneous and unpredictable Dreamer philosophical So, that should give you some idea where you stand. When you hear people talking about putting, they talk about being linear (left sided) or non-linear (right sided). But, I've always been a good putter, and I see both the line and the curve. It seems as if the left brained thinker would be able to build a great routine and mechanically sound stroke. But, they might not believe that they're going to make everything, as logic would tell them that they keep missing putts. They might have difficulty seeing the 3-D topography. On the other hand, the right brained thinker might think he was going to make everything, no matter how many putts he had already missed (dreamer). They may see the putt in it's totality, because they see the 3-D lay of the land. Stroke may be based solely on feel with less regard for sound mechanics. Sorry for the verbosity. |
Test
Great thread Yoda Luke. Several years ago, after a round,
Fran Deshine took me to the range to show me how to determine if a golfer was left or right brained. Fran was in charge of the Sutton Golf School at Sun City, Fl. Below are his thought as I precived them: To determine, cross arms. If left arm is over right arm then right sided. If right arm over left arm then left sided. To confirm step forward until loosing balance. If left leg movers forward first, then right sided. If right leg moves forward first, then left sided. When hitting shots, if the left arm folds after impact, then left sided. If right arm is straight, chasing the ball then right sided. If arms and legs forward do not agree, then the person is a clutz. All great athletes are sided. At finish, if elbows left behind the body the body, then left sided. If elbows point toward the target, then right sided. Fran says that you can not combine left and right sided golf. Left side dominant uses centrifugal force, where as right side dominant uses a power push force. |

If number 3 rolls faster than #1, the right arm straightening, the grip seperates much like when you see VJ or Phils grip on the club, teaching a player to do both at the same degree is very difficult, obviously per grip type, and shot one is trying to hit
