Played a few holes today and felt like I was just trying to straighten my right arm from the top all the way down and thru. This ok?

Could you feel what your left arm was doing... or can you only feel one arm at a time... :confused:

See how limiting and misleading "feeel" can be ... it's like being on the wrong side of a one track mind...:eek:

Not trying to play games here, but why, in your opinion, did it help you hit it better? What did it make you feel the club did differently?
Felt wider and freerer. same ball flight too - a draw which is a miracle for me. more release. I tried the out throw but topped a bunch

Based on your IM to me regarding my prior swing post it made perfect sense. First time someone diagnosed what i was doing that made sense. Was trying to get arms swinging freeer and past body and left wrist.

Good to hear. Every once in a while I'll make sense.

You are feeling exactly what you out to be.

The right arm is very bent at transition and very straight not long after impact.

And this starts happening RIGHT AWAY.
 
Funny one, about the one track mind. All I know is that you would be a big fat pigeon in my neck of the woods! We would nickname you "novacaine" and you would help me put at least one child through college! ;) Golf is an individual sport, so subjective feel is relevant. I play golf with my hands and feet, it is all I feeel, especially when I am playing well. When I am playing out of my mind all I feeeel is my feet! I rub my right big toe raw! I am interested to know if I can plot a connection between the feel and science, but at the end of the day I play my best with distinct feelings in my hands and feet.

I hear you, Scott... and I feel for you too... But tell me this: what do you do before you experience your "feel" because "feel" is only a feedback caused by what you did?

Okay so it's a confirmation of your successful golfswing, but then it implies you have a "goood" feel and a "baaad" feel. Can you explain those feeels ... feedback feeels? What do you do when you experience baaad feeels... what do you do then to avoid those baaad feeels???

Surely, "feeel" is superficial...:p


Something like your mind Steve?

I think... therefore I am... :confused:

Should I try and add the "pulling the quiver" at first start down?

Here is some interesting info:


At the top of the swing, the AMM tour averages for the PGA Tour show that BOTH arms go from the amount they are flexed (yes the left arm of the players have some flex, obviously the right arm is much more bent) to more straight by the halfway-down point.

Left Arm 133° flexed - 153° flexed at the top —— 151° flexed to 165° flexed half-way down.

Right Arm 57° flexed - 74° flexed at the top —— 103° flexed to 120° flexed half-way down.

This straightening FEELS different to every golfer.

For many, just separating the shoulders/arm movement from the back movement is enough.

For others, like David Love III, the "arrow out of the quiver" like the look of the Fowler analysis, works well.
 
Check The Path of the Hands in Transition thread. Ekennedy just posted a video of Luke Donald doing a drill for this transition move. Maybe it will help.
