Shoulder Turn:

I understand. AND - I agree.

Right Forearm Takeaway. My Hands travel as far as I make them. If they pull the shoulders, ok. If the distance the Hands travel isn't enough to turn the shoulders very much, ok.

It doesn't "feel" like the Shoulders Start to Turn until I reach an Acquired Motion Backstroke length but they start to Turn before that. The Left side stretch "feel" starts at Takeaway. My Hips start to Turn at Acquired Motion.

Thanks. Very reassuring to hear (read).

The Clubface always stays square to the Left and Right Flying Wedges. Somewhere, there is Truth in that.

And in so doing the FLW and the clubface are constantly in line?

Let me go beyond that thought without you asking.

I think that the Right Forearm Takeaway is the "correct" takeaway procedure. But it goes beyond procedure. It's an Alignment. I'm a big proponent of Blasting the Left Arm off the Chest. This is the only procedure I've used that can align everything to get maximum Blast-off effectively.

Yes. That's what I see.

I think I'm getting that feeling as well - I hope.

It's nice to be able to see. It's not very satisfactory to be in the dark (for ever).

Here is a list of the 4 Quarters of the Backstroke:

Wrists - The FLW cocks and uncocks. The RW bends. This motion accounts for 25% of the backswing movement.

Shoulder Turn - The shoulders turn so that the left shoulder is directly above the golf ball. The shoulders account for another 25% of the backswing motion.


Forearms Rotate - To get the club on plane, the forearms rotate back. This rotation is the third 25% of the backswing movement.

Lower Body Rotates - The lats and lower body rotate, making up the last 25% of the movement.

I have to admit that it's a long way to go for me to reach the 1500 mark..

Please, Air . . .

Concentrate on the Right Shoulder, not the Left. Take it to the Plane, and the Left Shoulder will take care of itself.

See you in March, my Nordic friend!
