Now and then I omit the out toss, and my ball striking suffers. Things improve immediately when I go back to it, but I don't have much success when I face my palm directly backward. What is the reason for doing so? My grip is neutral.
Dear bertsmith,
FRUSTRATION FRUSTRATION, MAYBE I AM ON THE WRONG GOLF BLOG BUT PLEASE READ ON !!!
Not frusrated with you bertsmith, but with the 'drift' and sometimes the INSIGNIFICANCE AND IRRELEVANCE of the comments that followed your sincere questions, and finally, the AVOIDANCE in addressing and attempting to answer the original question.
Seems like a year ago, but really back in February for reasons only Brian himself can tell you, he gave me a coveted HALL OF FAME AWARD for writing that I personally, and suggest that everyone posting give their 'soon to be post' a last minute 'VALUE ADDED CHECK'. I at the time, (and still now), very much valued the recognition and pledged to myself that I would ALWAYS honor that simple to do test, and only the rest of you can be the judges as to HOW I have done.
Now to my real points. This will probably be the #50, or more post on "bertsmiths' questions, and I still can not find answers, even including my post #2, where I asked for a little more insight before answering SCIENTIFICALLY.
So, bertsmith, from my background and specialties, "The out toss works for you BECAUSE it provides more harmony, shoulder cuff 'rhythm' and overall better left arm 'dynamics' to those swings where you maintained your selected degree of 'out tossing'.
Further, the lack of success when you stated, "when I face my palm directly backward" is IMO the direst result of 'corrupting' but more importantly RESTRICTING the position and path of your lead arm rotating around the humerus/glenoid joint.
What are the professional instruction or player experience-based answers to these questions ?
Now, finally, my REAL FRUSTRATION.
While there are some useful direct and indirect comments from some of you responding, IMO, the responses are dominated with non-related issues ie, whether or not Keefer should have access to a glossary, how to do a search etc., ALSO, with the exception of a much to INFREQUENT input from 'mandrin', I do not 'feel' in this and most all responses, the DIRECT presence of ANY of the noted scientists that are often referenced here, and attended the Anti Summits. Of course I recognize that some of you CALL these folks, and then post your understanding of what you were told, and I certainly appreciate having at least that interchange. But, for a high quality site like this, isn't it appropriate to ask them to directly respond to 'selected high value questions' ?
So, in conclusion, as I have done ON PURPOSE with many of my recent posts , (unfortunately with little success, which may be an indication that I am a mis fit here), I now ask ALL of you to consider providing some FEEDBACK AT LEAST ON:
(1) What are your answers to bertsmiths questions,
(2) Do you SHARE, and are you willing to expand on any of my frustrations ??
AND YES, I gave this post several 'value added checks', that is value added IMO.
Very sincerely, but concerned,
art
