That was a really fun lesson, but I'm still trying to forget the follow up when I brought out the Taly. HaHa, I have wonderful success with that tool, but it sure made a mess with you that day. Oh well, we got it straightened out and learned there are horses for courses.
Cheers Dodger!

Hi Kevin. Sportsfans. I have been working on Hitting and watching Lynn's and Ted's videos. Their finish seems very unusual to me. (I have only worked on swinging with Lynn and we know what a reclamation program I have been.) It seems like the key to a forward swivel in a hitting motion is the flat left wrist maintaining it's shape as it is propelled through the stroke by the pistoning right elbow, The feel of the forward swivel is that of a two-handed forehand in tennis or like the angle of attack is like a sharper "U" or a cross between a "V" and "U."
Does that seem correct?

That sounds a little steep to me Patrick. Are you trying to feel a really late (snap) release? Remember, YODA's finish is more than just the wrist alignments, remember his goal post drill? Very important feel for the release of the body.

Kevin, you are referring to the MacDonald drills of the hip leading the pivot first followed by the right elbow pistoning? Though if the snap would give me extra yards ala Sergio who am I to reject such a boon?

Nope, arms up trying to look like a goal post and turn to finish...
Remember, the swing happens in the blink of an eye. We can focus on address, top, and finish. Everything from top to finish happens from preparation and intent.

Kevin, I figured out why I was shanking so bad with the Taly. Can you guess why? Now I wish I had'nt given the thing away.
dodger,
I'll bet Taly would love to sell you another. We gotta get together with Kev soon and work on our winter motions. I lift my cuppa-Joe with my right side. How about you?
No more Taly for me Jerry, still have ptsd from the shanks. I did discover that I kept my hands ahead nicely with it, but failed to correct the reason I was shanking. My old bugaboo, below plane, too inside out. By tracing from impact thru properly, no more shanks. Think of the goal post drill or Lynn or Hogan's finish. To get the hands that far left of the head at the finish, the hands and club rotate with the pivot. Move your hands to that position in a true hands controlled pivot motion and the body does just what it should.
HaHa, I have wonderful success with that tool, but it sure made a mess with you that day. Oh well, we got it straightened out and learned there are horses for courses.
