[O.B.Left]

I agree with you guys...

I was always around guys who could play when I was a kid. My memories of guys hitting a bad shot and slapping their right hand. Can't use your right hand. Keep the right hand out of it. It's a left handed game. Damn right hand. Blah, blah, blah...

Enter the "Magic of the Right Forearm" and it's a brave, wonderful new world. I'm LOVING it!!!

Golf's "unique move" according to Homer Kelley and the reason good athletes cant take their talents from other sports to golf necessarily is this:
the right arm extends through impact, with the right hand held bent (in its impact fix determined degree of bend, depending on ball position etc). That last bit in brackets by me, sorry.

This unique move can be done actively by the right arm (hitting) or passively by the swingers throwout of the left arm and club via the pivot. Either way the pressure points and therefore the swing forces are felt in both hands. The swinger for instance has taken it back to top with the right forearm, and is employing Extensor Action with his right side, feels the pivot stretch the left side(take up the slack) and load the cocked left wrist in transition. The Snead sit down move was probably felt in the left arm and left hand, Im guessing. Didnt he describe the "Tolling the bell" move with the left arm in Downswing. So he was feeling it in both hands, is what Im thinking. There are pressure points in both hands after all, swinging or hitting.

If only Id known this back in the days Dark Ages (in a pressure point sense) of the bad right hand, the passive hands era. Which begat pivot to hands and big muscles etc. And then Soft Rock and Rupert Holmes and............

Now, Hitting or Swinging I can feel my right side and its rock like structure at the very least. Let the right side be rock, like Keith Richards not soft like R Holmes or Air Supply or Hall and Oates.........or........England Dan and John Ford Col.............

My apologies to Bucket for denigrating his record collection.
