Homer Kelley Meets Annikan Skywalker

It is the perfect illustration of Homer Kelley's words from his Fall 1981 Master Class:
"The #3 Accumulator [Angle] should be constant. If you have your Right Forearm On Plane -- behind the Clubshaft -- this Angle will be constant. There's nothing that will change it. You're coming in like this [Homer demonstrates per David's photo above] as though there were no left arm."

Haven't broke 75 yet, weekend 89 and today an 84. Today was cool though because I used my first set of clubs, Hogan Edges, forged, and used Lynn's teachings to keep my left arm extended while doing a "manipulated hands swing."
Angle Hinge or open face of Horizontal Hinge, whichever, I was hitting my 5 iron almost 180 yards and my 9 iron almost 140 with a standard swinging Angle Hinge. One fellow competitor asked me how I added so much distance, 40 yards on average on my drives, and I gave him Lynn's name and told him that Lynn showed me a better grip, made me wider and put me solidly on plane. I have qualified for our "A" flight championships with a 10.7 hcp. index. One sand save, 4 long birdie putts, three putted a lot,
Bought a very simple Ping Redwood putter, 36" because I know Jerry would want me too. lol! Happy Rosh to those like my Dad who are members of the Tribe, and Shalom Jerusalem!

With range balls, Angle Hinge, turn back to the target and break the ball with my left shoulder! With a new 8 degree SMT Deep Bore driver, Grafalloy Attack Lite, regular shaft, the ball leaves like a bullet on a rope, about 3 stories high, bounces the first time at about 200 before disappearing in the woods at 260. (I have to remember to keep the right hand, bent right wrist firm!)
Ball position determines how much cut if any. Dropping my elbow after the turn carries the ball almost 240 straight before disappearing.
The Horizontal Hinge is ridiculous ! Leaves at about 30 feet high, bounces at about 180 with a 10 yard draw or so skips to about 230 before hitting the trees.
The Hogan Edges seem to like the manipulated hands swing too, flying as far as my cavities or farther where they are aimed! Turn/Turn!
Jerry G had suggested the Wilson Duos and those balls play very well, fly about 10 yards shorter then my Pro V1's, durable, and really compress on the Hogan's and are about $20 for a dozen.
Will see if I can make some noise for our club Championships!

The Ball only does what you tell it to do. Unless of course, you're using "Ladies" Balls.

Well Kids, my hcp. is 11.2. I realize that to Hit, I have to cover a line going out to right field from the inside quadrant of the ball. I also realize that hitting does not mean taking the club above my shoulder and keeping my left wrist flat or arched.
I know I have to bump my left hip into the shot. RFT to top and cover the delivery line coming down.
I also will make darn sure to decorate whatever ball I and fully identify it! And my Pivot will supply the power to my educated hands.

In pure Hitting, there is no Pivot Power - it's all right triceps, and even in 4-barrel Hitting, most of the power comes from the right triceps.
Turn/Turn!
