Marrying Straight-Line Downstroke Thrust With Finish Swivel

There is a fine line here.

Through Impact, Thrust -- Muscular or Centrifugal -- is always directed Straight Line and Down Plane. Down and Out to Low Point (1-L-14) toward the Aiming Point (6-E-2). This puts the Hands -- directly or indirectly -- in their Impact Hand Location (7-8 ). But...

This Lag Pressure Point Pressure -- #3 Pressure Point (Right Forefinger) -- is never an out-an-out Right Arm Throwaway from the Top and into the ground. Instead...

In Pivot Strokes, the Loading from the Top is best done via the Left Side Pull, i.e., the Body Pulling the Arms and the Arms pulling the Club. Then, with a strong sense of Finish Swivel, the Left Arm Flying Wedge is accelerated through Impact and Follow-Through.

The Lagging Right Side picks this up as Clubhead Lag.

As it should.
