I think this is a very important point to make, especially for beginners. Last fall, before I discovered TGM, I was experimenting with trying to drop my hands straight down from the top and then curving out. Some decent shots can be hit this way, but if feels really awkward and it is hard to be consistent. Actually now that I think about it, the good shots may have just had this feeling but were really on plane. Staying on plane the whole way is a much more intuitive and feels oh so much better.

Most weekend hackers have no problem going OUT so when taught to move Down, it is broken into two moves (outiside TGM) which leads to problems.

Now I just let my hands run the show and my only thought about my right shoulder is to let it follow my hands through the ball.

DDL your swedish is not to bad. Thank you in swedish is tack. You missed a c. Tak is roof in swedish.

LOL. Maybe it was Danish I was thinking of. Satans osse is the only other Danish I know.

My short term goal is to improve my wobbly pivot and hence my inquiries about constructing a line on the ground to the right, which I guess would ensure I am rotating my right shoulder and upper body around my spine downplane.

Currently, I am practicing pivot controlled hands by focusing on maintaining a motionless, stationary pivot center( base of the back of my neck).

THe true geometric plane line aka target line, goes forward. I don't think it is possible to 'trace' the plane line with my right shoulder without coming over the top.

If I keep my pivot center stationary without bobbing or swaying, and trace the plane line forward with PP#3 via body rotation, will that be sufficient to train my upper body and right shoulder to rotate downplane, and correctly train the down and out motion of the power package?

When I practice acquired motion, I construct an imaginary line from my right shoulder through the ball, and rotate my upper body along that line while focusing on keeping the pivot center stationary. With full swings, I add a slight hip slide at startdown.

I've read reports from others in other forums about the successes they have had when attempting to strike the ball to the right.

Looking for ways to discipline my sloppy pivot.

Tack.

satans osse :twisted: bad lingua there DDL :D

Dear Yoda,

Does this mean that the 30 day moratorium on Angle of Approach is lifted? :idea:

Has it been thirty days already? Hmmm...

Is an extension available? :roll:
