Clearing the right hip
 

The phrase 'Clearing the right hip' on the downswing always conjured up images for me of 'getting the right hip out of the way' (of the right elbow).

Then it was suggested to me by a highly respected member of the TGM community that it really meant 'the right elbow clearing the right hip' ie getting the right elbow past the right hip before the hip turns.

Seems to me to be a lot of difference there. Far be it for me to doubt him, but I still get the impression from other esteemed members of the community that my original thought was right....

So which is it? The right hip getting out of the way so the right elbow can pass, or the right elbow passing before the right hip turns to the ball?

thackrad,

Your original thought was correct. All you need to do is to compare the pictures in 8-6 and 8-7.

If you need more "proof" from the book, just holler...:)

Even TGM instructors are not exempted from "misteaching", therefore if possible, always let the book interpret itself.

Did you say "holler???" Corrupting people across oceans . . . you'll be picking your nose at stop lights with the windows down next! Welcome to the club Slinger.

Ack...do you also flick 'em out???:shock:

. . . . eat 'em.

Alert! Conversation warning! You are approaching the limits of good taste.... :naughty:

Thanks for clearing that up slinger.:)

No Accounting for Good Taste
 

Well done Thackrad!
Chasing Bucket around this place can wear an old guy like me out, and most of the time he's running from Mike O. &H with Mike yelling Good Taste Good Taste!

I may have to pin a deputy badge on you for that one!

Hey buggaeata . . . was that pun intended?

He's back!
 

I was just thinking today- Bucket's turned into plain white bread! Vanilla! Then you fire one out - just like good old times. In my opinion this is one of the best posts in the history of LBG- no offense to Lynn or the team of course!:thumright

Was that a compliment . . . from Mike O????
