Eldrick Picture..good?bad? depends?

edit...you need the CORRECT amount of lean for the shot at hand...

I agree with that edit Bucket however most of the time I find that too much lean is better than no lean at all-unless I am hitting a super lob perhaps or the intentional skull!

Controlling throwAWAY is integral to short game mastery!!!!!

Assuming you mean using intentional Throwaway and I think you do ....... I couldn't agree more. Absolutely. Its on the path to short shot mastery.

Don't swing the clubhead, drive the shaft.

Thanks for that Daryl. I can think of no more succinct statement that means more to me in G.O.L.F.
I get 12 new 9th graders and 3 new 10th graders with my crew in about a month. My mantra will be precisely what you have stated or I will die trying.

Don't swing the clubhead, drive the shaft.

Yes generally speaking , for full shots but not necessarily for some green side shots.

What about a 10-3-J Pause Minor Basic Stroke with Vertical Hinge Action? That'd swing the club head from the hands and given Vertical bend the left wrist wouldn't it?

Lynn teaches a particular type of lob shot where Throwaway is added. Ball forward, Sweep Release , the shaft vertical at impact , the bounce of the wedge brushing the turf at the ball or ever so slightly before, minimal hand travel etc etc.. Great shot. You can rotate the plane line or not. Even hit a little tiny draw , floater lob shot. Its one way to go but ideally you have options, lots of em. Then your a master.

I wish Lynn would do a masters level of execution short shot video where he gets into all this stuff and more , much more. It'd be better than anything out there.

10-3-J PAUSE This term indicates a pecking motion of the Hands toward the ball causing the Left Hand to stop and become the center of the Clubhead Impact arc with the Right Arm driving hard against the stationary left Wrist Fulcrum but with almost no Follow-through.

Yes but we've been discussing shots whereby the Line of compression can be manipulated. You're now introducing a shot whereby the Clubface/Ball Contact Interval (Impact Interval) is so short that although a Line of Compression is produced, it cannot be "properly" manipulated during the interval.

You cannot Hinge with Throwaway, which is one of the reasons it should be avoided but I agree that there are different shots whereby Hinging, although not irrelevant, is no more effective in manipulating the Line of Compression than any other procedure.

Apparently there is no factor – including Clubhead Throwaway – that cannot, by proper assembly, adjustment, alignment, etc., be worked into a fairly effective Stroke Pattern for some application or other.

Yes you can Hinge with throwaway...true vertical hinging....very much dependent on your stance, grip type....but it is a EXTREMELY effective method.
