Old Wise Ones, when identifying one's own Variants of Basic Stroke Components is it acceptable to classify one of your component selections as a "tweener"? For example, #3 Basic Stroke. I assess mine as a hybrid between a 10-3-A Punch and a 10-3-B Pitch. Can I develop a good, sound motion with a hybrid elbow position... or are they mutually exclusive to a type of pattern?
TIA David
Well, in "Golf Life According to Homer Kelley", the Right Elbow location at Release determines the Alignment of the Hinge Pin in the Left Shoulder. It can be Aligned Vertical, Angled or Horizontal. So, unless your Elbow location causes some different Alignment, I wouldn't consider it a "Hybrid". What if you aren't Hinging anyway? What if you're Swiveling? Hmm?
