shoulder plane and elbow position

Hey Slicer McGolf,

I have an experiment for you to try. It will give you a very late release. It's just so that you can feel what your missing.

Practice Swing: Read instructions first.

Backstroke Procedure,
Address, with the Club, Arms only, Extend your Left Arm straight while using your Right Arm, like doing a right arm curl, to raise your Left Arm and club to the top of the swing and to hold your left arm against your chest. Let this motion pull your pivot into a coil. It will begin to move your hips as you get to the top.

Downstroke Procedure,
Keep pulling the Left Arm against the Chest and start the downswing. Do not release the right biceps muscle. Let go of the right biceps muscle to release the Left Arm as late (as very Late) as you can into the Release Zone. Feel the Release Sequence of a Late Release. You can hit Ball this way.

It's in no way the proper way to Swing a Club, but it's fun to feel the Coil and the togetherness on the downswing and the Super Late explosive Release.

Sorry Daryl,

My questions did get a little scattered there and maybe I shouldn't have brought up anything about hitting because I don't feel my action is hitting.

Your feedback was great because the 2 areas that i'm concerned with are losing both the bent right arm and bent right wrist too early.

here's a vid of the drill you asked me to try.

Hmm? It's not right but that's ok. It was my instructions. I left out a part. I'll do better next time.

Now, don't ever bend the right arm that far again. Bend it no more than 90 degrees for the rest of my life.

When you stop the bend at 90 degrees, your Right Elbow will separate from your torso at the Top as your Arms raise and the Elbow becomes much more On-Plane. Then you have a chance at developing Hand Acceleration which occurs when the Elbow returns to in-front of the Right Hip during the Downswing (more Right Elbow travel, more Acceleration). Keep your right arm bent at 90 degrees during the Downswing (without unbending your Right Elbow) until release.

If you do the above, 'you-Golfer'. Then, you can perform whats Below.

SECRETS: The Palms, or Back of the Hands are not exactly Parallel to each other with a 10-2-B Grip.

Release: For a Flat Left Wrist Swinger, you bend the Right Wrist and Turn the Back of the Right Hand to Plane (Bent Right Wrist) during the Take-away and Keep it there during the Backswing and Downswing. This Way, your Left Wrist remains Flat but your Clubshaft remains On-Plane. During the Downstroke, The Right Elbow Returns to In-Front of the Right Hip for Release.

For a Snap Release: you Turn the Back of the Left Hand to Plane during the Take-away and Keep it there during the Backswing and Downswing. Your Left Wrist Will have a Cup when you Cock your Left Wrist in order for the Back of your Left Hand to be On-plane. So, the Left Wrist will be slightly Bent and the Right Wrist will be Slightly Less Bent, but the Back of the Left Hand will be Flat against the Plane during the Backstroke and Downstroke and the Clubshaft will be On-Plane. This will Re-Locate the Right Elbow a Few inches or more inside the Right Hip for Release. The Bend in the Left Wrist will Flatten when Uncocking Begins and you can Roll the Primary Lever intact to Low-Point and beyond.
