Weekly Golf Tip #1 Swivel

[HungryBear]

Sorry. I'm having Technical difficulties. I need a couple of more days. A rain delay.

I think the delay is because U are waiting until after I go on vacation tomorrow morning.

Sooo, I have to comment in the blind.

When incorperating any new or changed element into your swing do it first in very slow motion and Look, Look, look at every detail. As you speed up, at the first wobble, back up and correct it.

Next week I'm giving my second TGM Tip of the Week. It's all about Hinge motions and Uncocking and Rolling on the same Plane Line. It is really a very simple procedure but I'm afraid that it has been misunderstood by ALMOST everyone for a very long time. When you see the Pictures you'll be shocked.

What happened?

Background Info:

A. During Release, for the Swinger, the Back of the Left Hand and Palm of the Right Hand travel as though they were on an angle (Plane) "Wheel Rim". The Left Wrist must Swivel from this On-Plane Alignment to Vertical Flat Left Wrist for Impact. The Motion is named "Swivel" because it's a Wrist/Forearm Rotation whereas "Closing the Clubface" is a "Roll" imparted by Pivot Rotation and Driving the Right Forearm into Impact Alignment.

Main Point:

If the Swinger skips step-B, and goes directly to C, then he has Swiveled Through Impact. His Swivel was continuous from A to C through Impact.

The Tell:

When you see a Player "Over Swivel" his Finish Swivel, he has "Swiveled his Swivel". He Swiveled through Impact and continued swiveling until both arms were straight, and then he Swiveled again for the Follow-through.

The Solution:

You can make a perfect Sequenced Release (Uncock and Roll) but without the Release Swivel, the Ball will fade to the Right because the Hands are still Turned to Plane. We must Un-turn them (Swivel) without Over-swiveling through Impact.

Swiveling is difficult to perform while the Body Pivots and the Clubhead is traveling at 120 MPH. However, if we can "Break" or "Stop" the Swivel when the Left Wrist is Vertical, then we can Hinge through the Impact Interval.

"Roll" in the Sequenced Release is Planned and does not occur haphazardly. However it can be Automatic. Swivel cannot be Automatic. It is a conscious manipulation that needs to be done correctly to prevent Swiveling Through Impact.

My recommendation is to use 10-2-B grip but allow for a little Arch in the Left Wrist when the Right Wrist is Fully Bent for Impact (Hogan). This will provide two Benefits. First, The Back of the Left Hand will be forced into Vertical for Impact (By the Roll procedure) and Second, the Slight Arch in the Left Wrist will prevent Throwaway by Stopping, Blocking, or "putting the breaks on" Rotation of the Left Wrist past Vertical through-out the Impact and Follow-through Intervals.

I rotated hips to my top and drove down on pp# 1 like a wildman. it was such a fluid motion that I wound up at my left ear without thinking about it. I throttled it back to simply driving the primary lever because I was afraid I was doing "throw-away."

It was one big swivel and the distance was pretty good. By simply driving the primary lever, I gain a lot of short game control, though. I need all of it plus.

Is there really a tip #2 or were you just teasing us

There is a real tip. Photo's didn't come out the way I'd like. And, now I've been busy and I'm traveling this weekend and next week looks very busy but June 27th through July 4th looks pretty open so I'm sure to get it done in that time period.

I'm really sorry for the delay, because I had that open window of time and ruined it with the poor photography.

Here is a "Weekly (TGM) Golf Tip". Insights, secrets, whatever.

Weekly GOLF TIP - Impact Swivel:
For Swingers, using the Sequenced Release, when your Right Wrist is fully bent, it may be advantageous to have a slight Arch in your Left Wrist. Adjust your Grip accordingly. I found that this aids in producing/manufacturing/Faking the Impact Swivel. It helps.


My Opinion of TGM Critics.


Next Weeks TGM TIP: "A Pictorial Narrative of the Horizontal Hinge". You don't want to miss it.

daryl,
i think your being overly generous to the critics.

Daryl, you wrote the following: "My recommendation is to use 10-2-B grip but allow for a little Arch in the Left Wrist when the Right Wrist is Fully Bent for Impact (Hogan). This will provide two Benefits. First, The Back of the Left Hand will be forced into Vertical for Impact (By the Roll procedure) and Second, the Slight Arch in the Left Wrist will prevent Throwaway by Stopping, Blocking, or "putting the breaks on" Rotation of the Left Wrist past Vertical through-out the Impact and Follow-through Intervals. "

1) Is the uncocked left wrist the same as the "flat left wrist?"

2) If it is the same as the FLW, then it is able to be swiveled, right?

3) Is there a danger or problem with starting out with a uncocked left wrist at address?

4) Where is this area contemplated in TGM?

5) Is there any other advice you'd like to offer regarding the use of the uncocked left wrist?

Thanks!

Folks who never experimented with Hitting will not normally come to this conclusion but..... THE RIGHT WRIST MUST BE FROZEN IN ITS IMPACT FIX DEGREE OF BEND by impact. Hit some right hand only chips and see for yourself the necessity for a bent right wrist. For those starting at Adjusted Adress you've got to find it , for those starting up at Fix you got it. Not saying there's anything wrong with finding it from adjusted. There can be a little play so to speak, lagging startup, but by impact its solid, frozen.

The right wrist is not a source of power.......sorry .........and so it does not fire , it does not go from fully bent to fully unbent. It will unbend but not actively which would be active Throwaway , active bending of the ideally flat left wrist.

I start at impact fix and then uncock my left wrist by rotating my right forearm or by uhmm, uncocking my left wrist.

It seems easier. ( I have a better sense of the ULW though the RFFW does still cock the left wrist a bit as it travels to the top ) When I take the fully uncocked left wrist to top by RFT or by TSP, the ULW seems to immediately snap into place. As I thrust down on pp# 1, or rotate the power package, the prim. lever is locked out with the ULW and the direction is very predictable as long as I align the impact to the inner right quadrant of the ball. I do not allow the right wrist to unbend. The distances are very good owing to the delofting of the club and the longer travel of the lever in a uniform accelleration. (That's my guess, anyway.) I have to make sure that the club face is not square at impact or a snap hook will result. The ball is played in front of middle for all clubs.

I'm sorry to miss your point. Feel free to point out the obvious mistakes. I won't be upset and I'm sure your remarks will help my swing.

B. For Swingers using Horizontal Hinging and Sequenced Release, The Left Wrist Remains Vertical until the end of Follow-through when both arms become straight.

C. At the Start of the Finish, the Swinger and Hitter should Rotate their Left Wrist to the Plane. This is the "Finish Swivel".

Main Point:

If the Swinger skips step-B, and goes directly to C, then he has Swiveled Through Impact. His Swivel was continuous from A to C through Impact.

I have just started to work with FS, Daryl. My temptation is to hang onto EA for dear life and punch my way around the course but I saw yesterday, the power of the FS. Way cool!

Then I started to hook everything.

I will keep studying. Bread crumbs and whole loafs are appreciated!
