On the subject of IQ and natural intelligence:

Work ethic is much more impressive than simply being naturally smart. In almost every field(exceptions would include subjects such as theoretical physics, etc) a high level of natural intelligence is not necessary, even to be an expert. Most people, if they bust their butt hard enough, can understand most things(including the golf swing), even quite complicated subjects. Theres nothing impressive about someone with natural intelligence, the impressive things are what they can accomplish when they apply themselves fully. The same way you wouldn't criticize a retarded person for being stupid, theres no reason to applaud a genius's natural intelligence. They just got lucky, similar to how a retarded person was unlucky. Think of Ben Hogan. As much as we all think his swing was the best ever, he "knew" his swing wasn't the best in the world and had to work all day long to become the player he was. That is impressive.

Literacy isn't your strong point is it? Either that you fail to realise mensa is a social club that requires an IQ test to join - therefore there is a pass mark.

Try again...:eek:

Scope, I enjoy some of your posts. Are you a teacher? If so, how do you apply what are obviously complex ideas in a lesson to an average player?

jenhaoyen,,

Back to the purpose of this thread...

Did you get your answer?.....and did you find out how much your arm rotates with your own grip?.....

Jen,

Your left forearm can rotate on its own, from the elbow....the radial bone (top of you forearm if you are shaking hands) and the ulna bone (bottom) rotate around each other, without disturbing the elbow, so technically, the elbow is not the correct place to look...

Check your wrist angle relative to your upper arm (or the flat of the back of your left hand)....

If you were to hold the left arm straight and outward at shoulder level, your extended arm and body make what appears to be a 90 degree angle. If you move both in concert, no movement other than turning to the right, you will turn somehere around 90 degrees. Bend over and do a slight lift of the arms and you are somehwere on an inclined plane.

You can literally turn and just raise your arms without rotation of the forearm.

Is this where you are coming from?

What happens on the downswing? The "Ideal" might be having the right shoulder going down, out, and forward, basically toward the ball. Where is the back of your left hand near impact? is it open, square, closed?

Lets recap the conversation ....

1/ You mentioned in all your modesty that you had *que mocking voice* 'an IQ of 155'.

2/ To which I replied, people such as yourself have a 'mensa mentality'... a group that think they are bright individuals because they prepare for a generic IQ test and pass.

Now 'obviously' you lacked the capabilities to read this simple statement and said

3/You don't "pass" an IQ test DS.......there is no pass or fail to it.......:rolleyes:

I mean it was pretty obvious the first time around but I give you the benefit of the doubt and 4/ define again the what mensa is so that you can understand why there is a pass mark - to enter a 'social club' for *que mocking voice* 'intellectuals'..


Now tell me why this sentence just shows a complete lack of comprehension skills?

You are talking about mensa, I'm not....

I would of thought that someone with *que mocking voice* 'an IQ of 155' would be able to follow the vein of the conversation.

Obviously not....:confused:

Tourdeep,
I just tried that and at the top the club is in the wrong position i.e pointing right of target and shaft pointing upwards....

I also tried it with arms straight out and bending before turning....same result....

From address, try it with a steeper shoulder turn, maybe bend over more. You may feel your head getting closer to the ball. The right forearm remains above the left, don't let it get too much sun on the less hairy side, keep the clubface looking at the ball, and a pretty darned straight plane line on the backswing is obtainable. The hinging of the wrists may or may not add role to the forearms, depending on the grip and how one defines hinging/cocking.


The downswing, however, might be another story.

well my 3/4 backswing and my setup position is the same.

Ie. I take my 3/4 backswing, then turn my waist back where it was and drop it, it would be in the same position.

I am going to get a white or yellow mark, tape or glue it to my arm, and make a couple of different swings....then post 'em up.

I think you guys will be surprise.
