What I got from the Tomasello tapes and my time with Martin Green is that as long as the pivot keeps transporting the power package, there will be no throwaway. If your hands are moving forward faster than the right wrist is flattening, you will have good impact alignments.
Martin Green is also of the opinion that lag and a bent right wrist is an illusiion. He says that pushing on the clubhead increases it's 'weight' and this increased weight causes the shaft to lag back as well as the wrists. What truth there is to this, I don't know, but that is what he says.
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.'"
In tomasello series Tom T describes the bending of the right wrist and in another the clearing of of the trail hip.....
If i can get those 2 coordinated i hit the little bugger a ton, but if hip clears late, i pull theball and or hook it, not hitting if the aft quadrant....
ive tried to pre-set cleared hip, but lost all power etc
any thoughts/help appreciated
thanks
