MJoe, please excuse my confusion, because my studying of TGM is still relatively new. Not as a 1arm drill but a regular 2armed shot, from a hitter's action, (especially when applyinng a horizontal hinge)... when I'm past the start down approaching the release, eventhough I'm thrusting with my pushrod right arm, I'm also ENCOURAGING my right forearm to rotate (or unswivel) from a turned position back toward vertical ... & evetually on to rolling in SAFT & finish. I'm assuming this rotational action has to take place? And I assuming the right forearm is where it has to happened? Am I wrong in prompting (encouraging) this PA3 action with the forearm? daluqfam
Hi d - No excusing required! First off, HH is club face control, so the left wrist should do the rotating, not the right forearm. Also, you need to understand that PA3 action(called Driveout in Hitting) is not left wrist rotation, but rather a movement of the entire Left Flying Wedge. This is accomplished by the left shoulder moving farther off-plane so that the hands move farther away from the target line to allow the sweetspot to meet the ball. It's principally a delivery mechanism for the club head, but also makes a power contribution. This is necessary (with or without left wrist rotation) and will happen naturally if you trace the plane line with PP#3.
Taking in all input, I'm 2wks into my "hitter's one arm drill" practice. From a newbie, here are observations. 1) I've been previously suspicious that I've had "switter" tendencies encroaching. This drill has confirmed it by more easily defining the hitter's right side participation & control feel. 2) With the hitter's action so dependent on right-sideness controlling ... strengthening that side & building confidence toward that means has benefitted my swing. 3) Also, improper motions seemed to be amplified & so much easier to diagnose and correct.
As you can tell from my positive observations, I plan on continuing with the drill.
