The Active participation of the Right Arm versus the Inert Left Arm is a biggie. Also, Tom's demonstration really emphasizes the need to drive that Right Forearm OUT at the ball. With all the emphasis on DOWN, it's sometimes easy to forget the OUT part.

Absolutely right, Bob. When you think "Down Plane...Down Plane to Full Extension," remember that the Inclined Plane is inclined, and hence the Outward Dimension must be there.

When Homer Kelley first picked up Ben Hogan's book, Power Golf, he read that you should "Hit down." And so he did, routinely taking deep, 'pork-chop'-like Divots. It was only later that he discovered that you must hit Out as well as Down.

He did not want his readers to make this same mistake, so he included the following as 1-L-#14:

"Divots are taken 'Down-and-Out' -- not just 'Down.'"
