Right arm STRETCHING the left arm in the swing ?

[Brian Manzella]

What I am saying is this:

A wide backswing with maximum loading and a much narrower downswing, with both the hands and the club and maximum trigger delay, will produce the most distance and it can be debated, more accuracy.

Great point Brian.

Sorta like an ice skater... when they achieve maximum speed in their spins, their arms are closer in to the body and the spins slows as their arms extend out!!

I am not certain what you meant by 'much narrower'. My understanding is that the right arm is always extending, stretching out the left arm, and on the downstroke, the "narrowness" is created by the angles accumulated on the backstroke, not by the arms being pulled into the body. I hope I haven't misunderstood this concept, and that the arms aren't actually pulled into the body to create narrowness.

It is the PATH of the hands and the work of the pivot.

The pulley is measured when the club is parallel to the ground on the downswing .Measure the distance from the butt end of the club to a line straight up from the ball .With a driver George Kelnhofer G.S.E.D. likes a 4 to 6 inch pulley. People like Faldo and Strange have large pulleys and are short hitters.

Yes,
more distance.
but why more accuracy?

 

[J.S.]

Can someone explain what is meant by straight line delivery path?

Brian, the arc of the 'center' to 'wrists' doesn't get narrow (it does shift forward, because of turning 'around' the spine), yes the clubface does get narrow, because of the loading of the wrists - large pully ('center' to wrists', and small pully 'angles in wrists')

Think of your old ten speed bike - when both gears are 'small', you have 'speed', but little 'power'

It is the COMBINIATION of the two that is powerful.

If you get narrow, you have, at best, two small gears, which may be 'fast', but won't be 'powerful'.

Get it?

Hogan sure did
