I mean, I understand adherance to principle...but man.....you have options....and some things just work. (for some people) ... The right forearm takeaway has been greatly misunderstood especially by those from the Rocky site via watching Brians very mistaken video on it. Actually most in that list do actually use the right forearm to pickup the left arm so the secondary lever stays on A plane at startup at varing extents - Tiger and Phil btw are usually perfectly onplane at start-up hence using the plane line as their guide - conciously or subconciously. If you want to take it offplane with a shoulder turn takeaway, read leadbetters "the golf swing".... Remember its a one piece stroke like an ocean liner. With the shoulder turn takeaway, the stroke goes like this.... Ok I just start back with only my pivot/my shoulders - ok im moving now.... oh wait if I keep doing this I won't hit the ball 20 yards, quick quick Right forearm pick me up.... Ps - another point I want to raise, it has absolutely nothing at all to do with pivot centers Last edited by Mathew : 08-21-2006 at 09:34 PM.
