Funniest thing I've seen lately

[azgolfer]

Jim McLean describing Venturi's chip as "no hand action". Then the video shows Venturi using a huge amount of right wrist cock.

You enjoyed that too? The next thing McLean teaches me will be the first.

Now I'm hoping there is a description problem here.

Was the RH bent or cocked? I suspect bent.

 

[mrodock]

Wouldn't either be hand action dbl?

I saw this once and made sure I watched it again to make myself believe what he said. There was a great deal of right wrist bend on the take back and he allowed it to stayed loaded thru impact. I do not know why he described it as know hand action.

I no what you mean

I watched part of that show, and I didn't see the portion where he mentioned hand action.

I do know that JM doesn't want you to slap at the ball with your hands (aka left wrist breaking down).

Thus, maybe he was refering to, or meant something else when he said, 'hand action.'

It was a bent, not cocked, right wrist in TGM terms. Never seen a clearer example of the right wrist bending on a shot, but McLean missed it completely.

How do you get thru a half hour of him. I fall asleep.

By no means am i a huge JM fan, but let me say this. When i 1st started golf, his 8 step swing at least gave me a base from which to start. Was it everything i needed? No, not even close! But getting myself into those 8 positions at least set me up for further instruction. Take his method and add into it the 3 imparitives, and guess what? You're at least playing some golf.
