Tom Watson talks about his right hand
http://www.golfdigest.com/golf-instr...atson-powerkey



I'm not saying this makes anyone a Hitter or Right Arm Swinger or anything but it is interesting. Guess that Random Sweep Release wasnt just a product of his fast hand speed.

Jack and Tom Right Arm Throw? 10-20-B. Who knew?

Freddy? I dunno that seems crazy but Lynn did tell me that Hitting does not need to be "wooden". Now there's a brass plaque for the Hall of Fame. Maybe Freddy's just fooling around......or maybe he's rope handle, Bat? I dunno.

P.S. Anyone read Natural Golf by Seve? Can a Hitter even read? That's a lot of questions I know. Never mind.

O.B, did you watch the video? The one where the skinny blond haired chick got it all wrong?

TW is a swinger. He uses a side arm throw. He doesn't "shot put" the arm like a Hitter. He drives the Right Forearm into Impact and feels it in his hands.

No hadnt checked that out. Thanks.

First video I saw was Tom providing an explanation of the famous Claude Harmon right arm only sand shot. Fantastic. Random Sweep Release Bat. Sorry, had to say that, the devil made me do it.

Shot putting? What the heck are you talking about? Only a new found Hitter attempts that for full shots..... Hitting is a side arm throw. Push Basic is for short shots only .......and only if you want to push basic, which I dont. Hitting, Total Motion is not Push Basic. Emphatically.

Dont ever say that to me again.......you Leftists know how to make a guy mad.

Congrats on Da Hawks by the way. They have a lot of fans up here. Hull , Makita...... The sweaters are the best.......the tv blackouts were the Wirtz. Cant believe you guys never saw Bobby on t.v. Is that right? Weird.

So, Claude taught Tom the "Right Forearm Flying Wedge".. Who Taught Claude?


Uh oh? "Houston, we have a Problem".

Hitting, the Right Hand moves down a Straight Line Path to the Ball and the Elbow Location Loaded Directly behind the Primary Lever supports that motion. This Elbow Action insures that Right Arm Thrust will Uncock the Left Wrist. Downward Angle of Attack. This is the same Elbow Action of a "Shot Putt-er" with a different Wrist rotation. It's a Punch Motion.

Swingers, Side Arm Throw, like Ben Hogan aptly demonstrates. This Elbow Action is very compatible with CF and the Throwout of the Secondary Lever. It's a Pitch Motion. You can Drive the Right Forearm with the Power Package without it causing the Left Wrist to Uncock. This occurs in the Downstroke Acceleration Sequence.

Both Actions have some of both Motions. The Swinger has mostly Fanning but still with a little of the Punch. Hitters have mostly Punch, but with a little Fanning.

Hitting total motion is nothing like a shot put. Nothing like Push Basic.


D you are you coming out of the closet or something? I can help you, Ill be gentle.

Daryl do you make a right arm side arm throwing motion? Its beautiful if you do..........Homer said it was natural actually.

Daryl its ok to be a HITTER or even a Right Arm Swinger........

Who is Delware Golf for 1,000 please Alex.


P.S. Can a right arm only Bat Basic Stroke from the sand , Random Sweep Release be Rope Handle? I suppose so but it could be Axe Handle too. Either way its not a left arm Swing.

Who said "Push". "Shot Put" is a "Punch".

Homer never said that Hitting was like a Side-Arm Throw.

You're a Swinger. So, How does it feel to be on the side of the Righteous? Pink underwear on Sundays.

Who said TW demonstrated a "Bat". That was a Pitch Elbow.

I thought that Delware was TT's Nephew or something??

How'd you know I was Swinging today? Are you up here with Obama's security team or something?

Shot putting is inline like Push Basic and you know it. No one throws..........fans and bends a shot put. It'd rip your right elbow apart. Homer said Push Basic, bending only was for short shots.

12-1 recommends Punch Elbow.......meaning there's fanning and bending. Fanning and Bending is a side armed throwing motion. Hitting its an Active motion Swinging it isnt, it just happens, either way Homer wanted it to happen. Hitting its 10-20-B, the aptly named, Right Arm "Throw".


Punch Elbow can approach Pitch anyways. There's a range. True Pitch elbow is really something, especially with Snap Release........dont know if Ive ever been there. Dont think that many people have. That's one wide open clubface with your hands over top the ball and your elbow in front of your body. Thats a Kodak moment for sure. Which brings us back to Tom and Jack and I dunno about Freddy. Did they get to Pitch Elbow? The first two werent Snap thats for sure.

Im gonna make a life line call to Jeff Hull ....... I dont think Bat is defined by an Elbow Position. Tom coulda been Right Arm Swinging maybe (Bat rope handle) but one thing is for sure he wasnt left Arm Swinging cause his left arm wasnt even attached to the club.

Thanks D. I think viewership is way up because of all this. Ill check the trades in the morning to see what our Neilsons were like. Then Ill come over to your neck of the woods , Swingers Central so you can rip me apart on your own turf about the Left Wrist Throw or California Merlots or something like that. Fair is fair.

I have a feeling there's a lot of Hitters out there that dont know it. Tons. Millions of em. They'll talk otherwise but then use their right side. Poor lost souls..... The swing centric golf mags only make them worse.

See ya.
