David Toms' 1st move down

[bcoak]

Brian,
I love DT's swing but have never been able to figure out the little move he does at the start of his downswing. It looks like he is turning his wrist over. What does he do and whay does he do this?

It is—simply—a throw and a catch.

Would you say "a catch" can easy turn into Throwaway with uneducated hands.

 

[bcoak]

A throw and a catch of what? Thanks for the grammar check btw.

Can you go into this more? I have been looking at old tapes of Toms playing with Tiger at St Andrew's . He seems very precise in his plane.

i thought i read somewhere that d t bows his left wrist at the top of his swing. is that the throw and catch, brian?

see never hook again for the throw (arms down the wall) and catch (pivot so the club doesn't stick in the ground behind you)
