Back again, rg, as promised in my first reply above (Dragging Baby Brother). This time I'm bringing photos illustrating the fact that my Follow-Through alignments in the Impact Bag demonstration are virtually identical with those of the great Champions of history. The only reason they appear somewhat exaggerated is that I was Following Through with the Arms and Hands (No Quitting!) while the dowel could only remain buried in the Bag. With several hundred times more mass than that of an actual golf ball, the Bag would barely move (much less rebound resiliently off the dowel and into the air!). Imagine the photos below if the Clubshafts were not permitted to move further forward than the Impact Bag's location.

I'll begin with a still from my video; follow with a series of five photos (the last an LBG Classic); and then link to a very special, indeed historically significant, video. Here we go:

Yoda At Impact Bag Follow-Through (Both Arms Straight)

Byron Nelson At Impact

Lee Trevino At Immediately Post-Impact

Ben Hogan at Follow-Through (Both Arms Straight)

Gary Player at Follow-Through (Both Arms Straight)

Homer Kelley at Follow-Through (Both Arms Straight)

And now, for a very special, first time in history treat, click on:

...and watch the only known video Swing of The Master himself, along with his personal audio lesson from 6-E-2.

Enjoy!

Is it possible to figure out what type of Hinge Action we're seeing in these pictures? Curious.

found it in the free videos section.

the swivel action videos complemented it immensely

Apples and Oranges

GPStyles,

That is an astute connection. Many people execute the downswing as a swivel action, as opposed to reaching full extention (both arms straight) and THEN executing the finish swivel. Although Trevino did not execute a finish swivel (as far as I can tell) studying the angle of his right forearm approach allowed me to seperate THE follow through from THE finish. Without a precise followthrough the finish tends to be contrived, off-plane and for show! Once those arms are pulled as taught as guidewires where else can you go but swiveling back on the face of the plane? I have found that if I focus on taking my power package to both arms straight...I swivel. A more important distinction is also seperating hinge action from the finish swivel.

Thank you

Did I actually help?:dance:

not any direct help, but it was a nice massage for my ego!
