Roundhousing is when your right shoulder goes over the inclined plane line instead of on it.
Think of it as Muhammad Ali in a golf posture, pulverizing a water melon on a table that is waist high in front of him with his right arm. His shoulders will be...."ROUNDHOUSING."...
only if he was throwing a hook...if he used a jab, shoulder straight down the plane!
OK, in looking at my book, I can clearly see what downplane with the right shoulder is. My question is this, will bringing your left should up plane on the other side drive your right on plane down?
I went out and worked on this and find it much easier to drive my left shoulder up than my right down (unless I think really, really hard.....I am a little slow).
Anyone have suggestions. I do have a club from RoverGolf that helps feel the downswing sequence but I suspect I don't go downplane all the time.
Thanks again.
Yes, all things being the same, the left shoulder going up will generally mean the right shoulder coming down, but you still want to look look look.
Any more thoughts on where the imagined knife in the butt of the grip should point?
The hands or pp3 traces the plane line (ground attached to the incline plane) on the start of the back swing. At Swivel, the knife in the butt will trace the plane line to the top as it and the shaft get on the incline plane. The plane line runs to infinity so even at the top it should still point to it.
On the start down- same thing until release when pp3 traces the plane line. The ‘knife and shaft will be parallel to the plane line at the Store or pre-release position. Release, roll, and hinge action will point the knife back on the Incline Plane (only upward). The swivel reverse it back to pointing at the plane line. (Did I screw this up??)
A baseball bat swings on a (more or less) horizontal “incline” plane- call it the waist plane-
A golf club needs to find an incline plane such as the - hand, the ever popular elbow, turned shoulder or the square shoulder plane. Of course more than one can be used depending on the shift.
