Hi guys,

I have been trying to learn TT's swing, apparently I come to the conclusion that there are three components in the downswing,

(a) a 'pulling the arrow from the quiver' move with the right hand - connects the right elbow to the hip and ensure the right shoulder moves downplane. Obviously, it also reverses the direction of the clubhead;

(b) a karate chop action - as shown in the video series;

(c) a swivel and hit action through the ball - controversial move but I think it helps ensures squaring the clubface.

In TT's Chapter on Power, he showed a move by swinging a stick with his right hand, I dunno if this is right arm swing or not. But what I seem to feel is that if (a) is missing, the power is all gone. So although TT describes the first downswing move as merely connecting the elbow to the hip (move 4 to 5 , I think), it is actually a pulling action with the right hand, move (a). If this first pulling action is gone, so does the power of the right hand swinging action as demostrated by TT.

Am I on the right track? Really appreciate any help to understand TT's methods.

cheers,

daniel
