Start Up Swivel

[bambam]

I find that hard to believe. I could have sworn Yoda was working with Davis Love III when I walked up on you last month. You have silky smooth and balanced action.

Back to the results of a turned startup swivel, I'll only tell you only a few things for now. Imagine you just asked the same questions to Steve Ferguson (because I did). He looks at you with a big grin and a twinkle in his eye and says,

"Just trust it".

In my case, I just keep pulling, rolling, and uncocking past impact and into follow through. I think in non-TGM circles they call this "releasing the club". You can't let the pivot stop pulling until your are well into follow through, then momentum will carry that wheel rim around.

Out of curiosity, are you thinking about tracing or anything else when you are working on this or is your focus mainly on the startup swivel?

After a roundhousing fix Ted initiated in my swing this winter, If I don't feel a strong roll through impact, I leave the ball a little right. A work in progress, but I find when thinking about a straight line from the end through the ball, with a 'frozen' right wrist and pretty strong extensor action, I can roll about as hard as I want and never lose it left. Just pull until my arms are straight and pointing at the baseline a few feet in front of the ball. Steve nailed the hardest part for me...

'Just' trust it.

'Just' trust it.

I have to think about tracing otherwise I have have a tendency to take the club inside. It's a necessity for me.
And from the top, I also think about tracing. I guess you could say I think about tracing first and turn/roll is secondary. Two swing thoughts for now until I can get this engrained.
