[O.B.Left]

There's some stuff he says in Power Golf thats really good too. That book maybe doesn't get its due. I was talking to Yoda last night and snuck in a quick question about this right forearm thing. We didn't talk very long about it but basically he was confirming your line of thinking . Went something like this: "When does the Right Forearm lay flat to the Inclined Plane in the downstroke?" Yoda: "When the Right Elbow returns to the Elbow Plane". I asked him if you could trace with the right forearm . " #3pp".

On the inclined plane in Release this alignment of RFFW to the Inclined Plane would not mean the face is pointing at the ball... if you know what I mean. Geometry again. The face would point out to right field . But Im still a little vexed about the implications to hinge actions... gonna let this stew for a bit in the mental crock pot.

Speaking of the Slammer here's one of my favourite photos ever of any golfer. (Ted sent me this one, thank you Luke). Love the wrist conditions.. The left wrist is not flat here.......nor should it be . Also a Yoda and Ted insight.

Its like a mirror image of the backswing. His right palm lays flat to the plane, his left hand is Turned and Cocked. And his hands have returned to their Bent Left , Flat Right condition!!!

This is what Yoda wants me to do to free up my (swingers) flail ... no point freewheeling the backswing and then blocking the Finish Swivel .. that'd slow you down and take you off plane. Like a lot of guys I cooked up some anti hook hold off years back... thing is it wasn't the cause of the lefts to begin with. Im trying to get rid of the arched left at impact too. Trying to delay release more by getting my elbow deeper. Speaking of which your Release looks later!!! Is the ball liking it?

When I get the wrist conditions right at Top and Finish Swivel good things happen! I can just think about the Three Stations and let the thing flow. "Give up control to gain control" as Knudson said. It reminds me of the Wild Bill Melhourne drills or the MacDonald drills in terms of the feel. Lag and drag in both directions.

Yoda and Ted ... those guys are good.
