Soft Draw Video question.

[niblick1]

I meant to ask this during my lesson with Brian or last night on the Manzella Live show, but forgot.

The Soft Draw video begins with a description of Ernest Jones swinging (swing the pocketknife) vs. more traditional TGM-based idea of swinging (left side pulling, loading from pulling the arrow from the quiver) and describes the SD pattern as being an Ernest Jones swinging plus adding right arm at the right time. But later in the video there is a mention of needing to "pull like crazy" from the top and then adding right arm. Whether you stress the shaft from the top by pulling like crazy or let the club fall by gravity and then just add right arm seems like two different procedures to me. What am I missing here?

Great Question!

I meant to ask this during my lesson with Brian or last night on the Manzella Live show, but forgot.

A- Ernest Jones-type swinging: no torque
B- Homer-style drag loading: negative torque
C- Homer-style drive load: positive torque

You need to learn A first. It is a feel you will need.

The swing is A going back, B from the top to last vertical before impact, B+C from there.

Brian, thanks for the answer. Got it.

when you say B+C, you don't meant B and C at the SAME TIME do you?

I take it to mean that c takes over from b at this point. I don't think it would be possible to just stop pulling and push exclusively.

Soft Draw video

After watching Soft draw video a couple times I now hit soft fades, which isn't a bad thing.

Depending how hard I throw the right hand = how much fade. Former shot was a draw, sometimes to much draw and hard on back.

Harder equals less fade edit
