marbles and draws

[tongzilla]

I found it is actually possible to all these things in a swing:

slight bent left wrist at the top
slight arched left wrist at impact and follow through
'gather up the marbles' type finish swivel
keep the club up the left arm into the follow through and finish
swing left immediately after impact
no roll (angled hinging) feel

...and still hit a draw!

It's a weird but great feeling to be able to do this! And the ball seems to like it too.

Tong,
Are these feelings, or do you have video? Did you strengthen your grip to do this?

They are feelings, no video. But I had pretty much the opposite feelings a while back and the flight was left to right.

I weakened my grip to 5 degrees stronger than 'Manzella neutral' (leading edge parallel with flat left wrist)

You know, I've heard this "gather the marbles" reference before but never can picture what the heck that actually means.

I assume this is geared towards the right hand and it's motion through impact......

i think i've heard brian say its like making your right palm face your face during the swivel

imagine you are using your right hand to go into a bucket and "gather up as many marbles as you can."

This is a description of my exact swing....except the club up the left arm. How do you gather up the marbles and still keep the club up the left arm?

[tongzilla]

It's a TYPE of finish swivel

can someone pls. explain "gather up the marbles" ?? thnx

The right palm and clubface faces the golfer after the follow through. You should scoop the bag of marbles from right to left.

And......

throw em up high over the left shoulder

Tong,

This is a good swing thought for you and your pattern because........
