This is something that's really become clearer to me this season. I feel as though my pivot is a massive rotor and all it does is spin. I take the club to the top with my Wedges assembled and PP3 fully loaded. From there, I feel literally nothing except my right shoulder moving downplane.

Everything else feels like it stays at the top as I start down. The left arm, left wrist, and club are all in one plane (I'm talking about the plane of the left arm flying wedge) and being dragged by my pivot. My right shoulder approaches the ball and my body is opening up to the target, and all of a sudden...wham! The clubhead automatically throws down and out. The harder I load it at the top and the harder I spin downplane the harder it throws out.

I always had trouble taking nice divots and getting enough 'down' when I was Swinging. Hitting was no problem because I could conciously 'hit down.' But I realized this year that if I let the club be "thrown" really hard into PP3 at the top that it would throw out just as hard at the bottom. My pivot spins and everything throws down and out at impact. It's really a cool feeling because it feels like so little work. But the sound of the compression definitely says it's working nicely!
