What I am calling a "snap release" may not be a TGM SNAP RELEASE. I'm not sure and I can always learn new stuff.

What I am referring to is the slow movement of my right heel and knee towards the inner quadrant of the ball, maintaining my balance and suddenly having my Extensor Action- laden club shoot down-plane pulverizing the ball in a very repeatable pattern of flight. My finish is a very balanced, best seat in the house,Full Swivel with an "Arrow through the ears," position.

I set up with an Impact Fix position with my head actually creeping forward almost directly over the ball AND STAYING THERE! I then RFT feeling the arms stretch and move the right knee slowly keeping my head stationary which causes the club to SNAP through the ball with a "crack," unless I am hitting irons.


So, imagine my happiness when I found this:

I have made lots of mistakes by hanging my head too far back but now know that Impact Fix is a set of related body, head, arms and hands positions. The above observation by Yoda explains to me why I cannot drive my right knee to a 10 o'clock since it causes my head to "lean back" given my front leg irregularities, artificial hip and the heartbreak of Psoriasis. I hit a straighter baby fade with more power because I do not run out of right arm and hit an Angle Hinge through the ball. I am working on a Horizontal Hinge.

As with Hogan's right knee move - when you take the 'slack' out, you have in a very real way "lengthened" the lever - in fact at both arms straight I can often literally feel the 'full line' of the train - from my right foot, all the way through my body, to impact. Supporting impact along the 'entire' train. A good drill is to move from impact fix to the finish with 'high hands' - trying to get your hands as far away from your right ankle as you can, such that you have a bit of 'Saturday Night Fever' - a diagonal line from your hands to your right ankle.

Choo, chooo...... all aboard! Drive that train - from the ground up, just like a pitcher does.
