Gregg Mchatton no up in the Backswing

[miji]

I think "no up" means no reason to elevate beyond TSP. I think Jack is "across" (w/flying rt elbow), not "up". McHatton also suggests that we create a very long "club" at impact...one that begins at the left foot and ends with the clubhead (he holds the club perpendicular to the ground directly above his head). A swing without EA which culminates in one fully loaded, very long primary lever? I think the image of building the long club provides freedom of movement yet incorporates many important alignments.

Need to clarify some things here....

Jack most certainly had an upward element in his golf swing, other than the basic truth that the club is In The air and not on the ground at the top of the swing, jack shifted planes, lifted his arms as many players if not most do. For the purpose of representing homer It is not right to say there is no up in the backswing. Backwards UPWARDS and inwards? Homer was the one who suggested we create a "very long club at impact" he taught us to not pass the swingle, to create leverage by a swing radius that extends through the feet, flat left wrist, forward leaning club shaft, pivot lag. Why would you want a swing without Extensor action as you mention? ea is repeated in the mechanical checklist several times, definitely something you want to use! if the primary lever was fully loaded then he would not have released anything, the primary lever should not be fully loaded at impact. Primary lever refers to the left arm and club shaft and cannot get longer than the length of the arm and Club shaft

"The Hat" wants the club swung up, back, and in, via the shoulder turn, and cocking the right elbow/left wrist, with no intentional arm lifting. Dump all the energy downwards and out the arms with the pivot. He is one of the real bargains in golf instruction at $40/hr!
