right arm pickup
 

This could be the naming but I feel to get maximun extensor action on the backswing that there is no picking up. The club does go up because the arms go up as they go back but there is no intentional lifting done by the hands. is the right arm forearm pickup different that what i have described?

6-B-1-D

I'd say The Machine is equipped with independent mechanisms for Extensor Action and RFP and that the Hands are not involved in RFP. The hands get a free ride by the RFP.

If a "lift the hands" command is sent to the Hands it would result in cocking of both wrists and in this case the right wrist in particular. Which is obviously not desired.

The sequence of an "activate Extensor Action" command followed by a "lift the right forearm" command is what should be dispatched to The Machine.

"Lifting the Hands" and "Lifting the Forearm" are different features of The Machine.

You can apply extensor action and bend the right elbow that picks up the club. Educated hands do this. The pivot can start the club in the take-away, as in a shoulder take-away, but it can not raise the clubhead- it needs a bending of the right elbow. I still love the RFT - instant extensor action. In Canton, the extensor action test was seeing what your right hand would do if the left hand was removed. It, the right hand, would shot out into space because of the force of 6-B-1-D.

Guys

Yes I was hung up on the term. The word pickup I don't think should be used but it is so I will have to accept it. As far as bringing the club back to a position that is what Yoda taught me to do and I was just trying to verify my mechanics to feelings and pickup is not what I felt.



Thanks

Any other Drills or FEELS for this procedure... that will ensure the FOREARM and club are traveling UP the plane, and not too much back and in... that can be done without another person's assistance?

Right Arm Pick-up.....Full Sweep Loading...as the right forearm moves back and up you're folding your right elbow.

True extensor action takeaway per 10-19-0....Random Loading for Hitting and Snap Loading for Swinging....move the forearm back and up and let the right elbow fold naturally al la Ernie Els.

Inside of forearm
 

In Yodas video cannot tell if inside of forearm is square to target or angled down (elbow pointing out) or angled upward (elbow pointing down).

Also, since Tomasello states that in hitting the elbow moves back more in backswing that would seem to indicate square to target.

Is it the same for swinging?

Do not have the book.

Make sure your trail arm is a little bent and a space is seen from behind so your trail arm is very slightly lower than your lead arm. From this position raise your forearm (the part between your wrist bone and elbow)apply extensor action.

I don't appreciate your offensive remark.

In the last two summers I have spent countless hours studying and practising the golf swing.

Today at the range, a rainy day with dead range balls, I peppered the 225 yard flag with ball after ball... never quite hit it but came real close a few times..I even had a little audience.

I can put my trailing arm in several different positions and still meet the criteria you speak of, so either please respect my question or don't waste my time.
