A golfer can use the Magic of the Right Forearm (7-3) to execute any short game shot.....any right arm motion....all three hinges....cut shot, lob shot or low runner. Reduce it to the right forearm and you can minimize your thinking about technique and put your energy into making creative short game shots.
I like to "Hit" shorter shots with my right elbow almost sliding up and down my ribcage. I suppose it's a Punch elbow. With a wedge, same thing. There's just more overall right forearm travel in the backstroke.
Thanks for all of the answers everyone, it will helpa lot at my next range sesion.
Matt: I train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I am a Purple Belt under the Machado Brothers they are first cousins to the Gracie's, we are affiliated with Rigan and Roger Machado. It takes 10-12 years to get a Black Belt in BJJ. I am half way, the hard part is over. Purple is considered the first advanced belt, I still have a long way to go.
I also have a 2nd black belt in an eclectic style of jiu-jitsu, 1st degree Black Belt in an Okinawian style Karate called Uechi-Ryu and have black belt level knowledge of Akido-never tested. Also trained in Judo,Sambo,traditional weapons and dabbled in everything Ican. I give different semianrs for self-defense for women, many areas of grappling, law enforcement, edged weapons and firearm retention.
I love jiu-jitsu and golf and one day I will be very good at both. It would be hard forme to choose one over the other. In the summer I train less and hit the links a little more.In order to help ease the pain of my loves with my wife I have found ways to make money fromboth loves.I teach jiu-jitsu and build golf clubs...so that always helps.
I've been doing BJJ for a few months now and really enjoy it. My school is under Rickson Gracie.
Matt welcome to your new addiction!!!!! Rickson is the man. You should take a look at NHB Gear forum. There are many famous black belts who post on there and they have an expert forum where they answer questions, lots of good info on bjj there.
