Index finger
 

I have 2 questions forTed ,

1. Am I correct in assuming that if I could draw a line from my R/elbow along my forearm and through myR/Wrist that it would point at the "plane" line (R/handed hitter) right through my swing?

2.At impact,if I were to point my R/index finger,would this point at target line?

Thank You in advance...B

hope you get an answer
 

Im Very Interested To Read An Answer To Your Questions

I Also Wondered About The Same Thing

Obviously Ted is away,Has anyone got an answer to my query.Thanks in advance,and SEASONS GREETINGS to all

5-0
 

1. Not exactly, but Push Elbow could allow your assumption.

In 5-0, you'll find the answer. It says, "...players actually Monitor the Clubhead Delivery Line by "Tracing" along it with the Right Forearm. This is done as though a flashlight were lashed to the Right Forearm with the #3 Pressure Point as the lens causing its beam to move along the Reference Line." So, you have to assume the Right Wrist is Bent, and the #3 Pressure Point is not in line with the Right Forearm.

If the light was shooting out of the Forearm and not the #3 Pressure Point, it would point out in front of the Clubface. If you see that geometry, the three Major Basic Strokes would produce different results. The light through the Right Forearm (not the #3 Pressure Point) would shine well outside the Delivery Line in Pitch Elbow, somewhat outside the Line in Punch Elbow, and on the Line in Push Elbow.

2. Yes

tracing
 

Thanks Ted,Sorry to bother again,this would mean that my R/elbow is the tracing point,this would be shining at C/head path,yes

follow the light
 

Homer said the light was from the Right Forearm through the #3 PP, not the Right Elbow. I was just making the point that a different Elbow Position, given your original assumption, would have the light missing the Delivery Line. It's tough to explain, but easy to demonstrate.

Trace
 

Thanks Ted,I appreciate how hard it must be to "TRANSLATE"say light mid-point on F/arm,this would be tracer.

On Plane Lag Pressure and the Right Forearm
 

The principle here is that the Club is "driven through Impact by an On Plane force moving toward the Plane Line" (1-L #10). Think of this action as Lag Pressure driving the entire Right Forearm Flying Wedge (with its On Plane Right Forearm and #3 Lag Pressure Point) toward the Baseline of your Inclined Plane.

If Right Triceps Power (Linear Muscle Force) drives the Lag Pressure, you are Hitting. If Body Power (Rotational Momentum Transfer and its resultant Centrifugal Force) drives it, you are Swinging. Either way, the Right Forearm and Lag Pressure Point 'Trace' the Straight Plane Line (either Geometric or Visual / 2-J-3). [The terms Linear and Rotational as applied above are my own and not defined in TGM, per se.]

So, Hitting or Swinging, think of the Right Forearm and Lag Pressure as 'one'. Then, when the Elbow arrives On Plane ("Through the Ball" per 7-24), both the Forearm and Forefinger (Clubhead Feel) will point at the Plane Line (albeit at different points on that Line).

Why not post a short video?

Tyrant Time
 

Hi Strav. Your idea is a good one; indeed, an ideal. We appreciate your post.

The answer to your question . . . and so many more . . . is Time.

Time and its tyranny: Nobody has enough; everybody has all there is.

The grocer, mortgage lender and retailer meet their customer in the market place. The negotiable medium is cash, and its pricetag is skilled time.

So, absent a substitute, the giver -- however altruistic his motives -- must weigh the gift against its cost. When he alone cannot -- or will not -- absorb that cost, the recipient must. Or else, forego the benefit.

In this instance, Premium Video is the answer.

:)

Slaying the Tyrant
 

Thanks for the reply Yoda. Whether the video is premium or not is, IMO, not the issue. The criterion should be effectiveness. Effectiveness will diminish ambiguity, provide clarity and save precious time with benefits for all.
This is a potent weapon against the uncompassionate and oppressive tyrant and we should wield it with vigour.

Brothers In the Bond
 

Agreed wholeheartedly, Strav.

You have 'thrown the gauntlet' and set the mark.

We at LBG hereby pick it up and pledge to meet the challenge in 2008.
