The move to strike the ball is an inward pull from the left and FATS from the right

That flw look is also what I always imagined fats to be.

(That kind of) FATS is left handed then? FATS through the right hand, below the coupling point, is going to drive the shaft past the left arm.

That's assuming the force is a push. I suppose, technically, it could be a right handed pull across the shaft - although I doubt that's what was meant.

Good point clever man.

However, I imagined fats to be a force which restricted torque, IOW a foce which resulted in a parallel movement/displacement of the shaft. Therefore a fats, whether produced from the RH or the LH (or both) just before impact would promote the FLW look.

Can you over-tumble? If you're already tumbling pretty good, but are hitting it rubbish for other reasons but you mistakenly think that you need more tumble, how would this manifest itself?

Is the tumble a conscious or subconscious part of the swing. I assume - maybe incorrectly - that this is subject dependent

For a couple of weeks Ive been addressing the ball on the extreme heel of the club and trying to hit the ball on that spot with the club going straight thru impact (just a feel) and for some reason I have this wonderful tumbling feel and am hitting it very solid. I assume this is from a better hand path - more up and down as opposed to around - but I'm not sure.

I love how this tumble motion is evolving on this forum. It's fascinating.

Kevin, or anyone else, Right between pre and post impact can the inward pull and FATS across the shaft feel like you are trying to snap the grip in half? Like if the grip were a pencil you might actually break it in half?

Funny you mention that Jeremy, I have previously snapped a golf shaft at the coupling point. It was only the grip that was keeping the club together. I wonder what force I had been repeatedly applying to that area of the shaft to make it snap and I wonder if proper execution of the new release would introduce significant forces to that area of the shaft.

Like, as I'm sure has been mentioned/commented on before, Mike Austin saying that, when he really wanted to thump one, he had the feeling of pushing back with his left hand. That's probably quite a good way to get rapid deceleration of the lead arm.

Very difficult to actually do. The shaft was probably kinked under the rubber. Can cause serious damage to your hands. Ur lucky.

Interesting Mike thanks, I keep thinking of it terms of speeding the hand rotation I never thought that it might help decelerate the lead arm.
