Where does the L/arm actually "rotate" from?,in my attempts to maintain FLW(R/hander),I have found myself rotating my L/forearm,but get the feeling that it is not correct,should my L/arm be rotating from the shoulder and not the elbow?,both can be done ,butthe resultant finishes are quite different...What is right?....Thanks in advance

Where in the book is this covered...thanks


Brownman assuming you are still Hitting, Id say that given Angled Hinge Action and Punch elbow there isnt a feeling of turn or roll, so you dont need to worry about where originates from. The left wrist however will still need to swivel onto plane in the backswing and in release - a left wrist only deal as opposed to the entire left arm deal of Hinge Action.

A Hitter bends his right elbow to move the Primary Lever (left arm and club) in startup. No turning left wrist necessary but you do need to monitor your left wrist staying perpendicular to the Angled Plane. Let the right elbow provide its magic and it will get it done and cock the left wrist in the process.

Thanks for reply OB.
I still "HIT" from time to time,but at present Im learning swing procedure,my bad,sorry. The thing that got me on track today or lit up another light bulb was imagining the is a plane line 2" below the surface,NOW,Im really compressing the ball.More later...cheers

NO worries mate, I swing and hit too. There is something special about going all the way "down". I think the arms go up and down and the pivot goes back and around, the clubhead orbit netting out on plane. As such the arms and the hands if focused upon must be very "down" oriented. The pivot will supply the "out". Normally it is the "down" that is missing in 3D impact.

Thanks OB,I totally agree with your 3D concept,I played today and generally compressed the ball well,for the most part.
I have to "fess-up",I hit 2 of those shots we dont speak of,s....s,but at least I understand what took place,simply did not full uncocking left hand,I feel I actually let my fingers on my R/hand come into play...flipped...I think it is down to discipline...cheers

Hammer time.
Perhaps researching the "Throws" will help the Throwaway problem. Similarly named things but actually very different and delightfully mutually exclusive to some extent.

10-20-E The Swingers left wrist Throw. By actively throwing down plane any horizontal hand motion or "throwaway" is highly unlikely. Also 10-20-B Hitters Right arm throw.

Let the right shoulder take the power package down plane as per usual in Startdown ensuring that you dont run out of right arm and then trigger the power packages release of its accumulated power with a Throw of some sort. Early or later throw (trigger) for various shots, trajectories, power etc. No Throwaway as its hard to "hammer" and flip at the same time. It seems like a throw would encourage an early release but on film you'd be surprised by how late it can be despite the way it feels. Oh and man do you go down, way on down to where the music plays as Elvis would say.

This component may be the main difference between Hitting and Swinging for me anyways.

The Wrist Throw automatically Triggers the Release of the #3 Accumulator. If the Right Palm faces the Plane at Release and the Right Wrist is Bent and Level, then Straightening the Right Elbow will Force the Left Arm to Roll. Centrifugal Force Uncocks the Left Wrist and Straightens the Right Elbow. So, it's Automatic if one can achieve the Geometry of the Right Palm Facing the Plane at Release. Definite Pitched Elbow.

10-20-E WRIST THROW Here, the Right Hand remains palm-up to the Plane during the Uncocking of the Left Wrist to produce a Sequenced Release per 2-G and 4-D-0. Especially compatible with Swinging. See 6-H-0-F.

By deliberately initiating the Wrist Roll at any point before reaching the end of the Delivery Path Line, the Non-Automatic version can be produced.
To deliberately initiate the Wrist Roll at any point before reaching the End of the Delivery Path Line, one Flattens the Left Wrist from it's Bent Condition. A simple Bump of the Left Wrist toward Arched Rolls the Clubface. Thus, Rolling the Clubface no longer depends on the Straightening Right Elbow.

Note: Without using a Wrist Throw Procedure, all Swingers must use a Non-Automatic Roll. That means they must deliberately bump the Left Wrist before reaching the End of the Delivery Line.

Im just a tad confused here,where does the "BENT'L /wrist come from,I am lways flat L/wrist,at least I hope I am.
As for the left arm rotation,I am still having a battle finding a "feel"that reminds my body to rotate my upper arm from shoulder-NOT elbow as this is a point that is breaking my swing down from time to time.
It doesnt matter whether or not my R/ forearm pushes to both arms straight,that can be done with L/forearm roll or upper arm roll (sorry roll should read rotate)but one or the other is causing a faulty stroke.
I hope you can follow my description.....cheers
