Right shoulder

[taustin]

What position should my right shoulder be in coming into impact? Open or closed to the target? It seems I strike the ball much better when I try to hold my shoulder back coming into the ball. but sometimes the club passes my hands causing a thin shot.

Right shoulder should be moing down plane at impact.

If it isn't (on plane), it is better off way back.

 

[hue]

what do you mean by "way back"? Thanks

 

[Davis]

tilting...

behind the ball

Keep that Right Shoulder not only "back" but also "down" (On Plane), or you will "run out of Right Arm" before the Hands reach Impact Position--an automatic throwaway.

You Are Welcome!

Also...from the top the right shoulder goes DOWN PLANE!

Ragman, just to be clearon ball flight: throwaway would be pushed right with some slice ????

Throwaway is prematurely releasing the wrist cock so that the clubhead is decelerating at or before impact.

Just the wrist cock, but not the wrist hinge? What would that be called?

 

[ragman]

Wrist hinging is a whole different concept...

I was reffering to pre-mature unhinging of the wrists? What does Kelley call it and where does he addresss it?

If you want to talk in TGM terms, cocking is solely an up and down motion.

Hinging is basically the clubhead/wrist motion through impact...

If the wrist cock is released earlier you simply have zeroed out your 2nd power accumulaotr, velocity power...loss of power...

If you have the book, check 6-D-0. Step Three - Power Storage
Throw Away.

I think this reference along with 7-19 Lag Loading and 2-P The Wristcock will give you some insight to Throw Away.

Regarding hinging, Wrist Position check out 4-0.

(EDITED) I left one out..4-D-1, thanks Bono...(/Edit)

I don't think you will find the description "Throwaway is prematurely releasing the wrist cock so that the clubhead is decelerating at or before impact." but I could be wrong.

 

[Bono]

Clubhead throwaway is bending the flat left wrist prior to impact.

See 4-D-1
