Help my memory...

[curtisj76]

I might be searching for a needle in a stack of needles, but here goes. Ok, I'm trying to think of a player, and a move that this player made. Brian said this player made (i think) a slight twist of his hands before he made his downswing. It was his first move before he started down. I think that's what the move was. Does anybody know what the heck I'm trying to remember???? Was it Toms? The reason I'm asking is that I'm making a slight twist to help me rotate the sweetspot off the plane. Just trying to remember??????

I didn't just sound like a dumb blonde there did I? Like, do you remember, like, the time when, like........huh?

Seriously though, does anyone remember?

...but i think that is a move hogan made, maybe not before he started down, but as he dropped, i think he twisted as well...

There was a thread some months back (perhaps many months) in which someone posted after having watched some video of David Toms, and this poster was hypothesising that Toms didn't twist on the backswing but did twist right at the transition or at the beginning of the downswing.

Now, I cannot recall who posted this, and I cannot recall whether Brian or others actually agreed that Toms made such a move. But my memory is pretty clear that it was Toms that the original poster was talking about.

hcw is right of course. In 5 Lessons Hogan makes a big point about arching his left wrist right before and through impact. And Hogan says it's the key move that all good golfers make. For me the genius of Brian's twistaway is not that he's figured out something about impact position that wasn't already known, it's that he's figured out a way to help a lot more golfers have a decent chance to get into that position. My own natural tendency is either A) not square the clubface, or B) flip it. But with a twistaway I have a much better chance of squaring up the clubface and even of being in that position that Hogan talks about. I'd read Hogan's 5 Lessons a million time and I understand what Hogan wanted me to do. But I could never really do it. But twistaway is easy; anybody can do it.

David Toms........Lee Trevino?..............

BTW Hogan was not arched until pretty late in the downswing I do believe.
