Air-time

That's ok - I'll not let that discourage me.

Not 500. More like 1500.

hi Air

100x a day for 2 weeks & you are there

that's no huge deal if you think about it (25 swings 4x a day or 50 twice a day ?)

I know.

Maybe you should get a Taly, Air? It seems to address the flat left wrist and rhythm very well.

Keeerect. Reference post #420 for the Yoda Taly video.

If I get the flying wedges right, does that ensure lag and the swinging of the hands (and not the clubhead)?
What's most important in this structure - the straight left arm and club working as a unite with the same RPM (or what it's called) and thus get the right rhythm, the lower right forearm coming into impact not completely straight yet, to both arms straight in the followthru .. etc.

I'd say that the flat left wrist with the vertical cocking and uncocking is the most important part. It is almost an end goal in itself.

But you need good rhythm to sustain it. The Right Forarm Flying Wedge will provide a structural rigidity to the lever assembly (or should we say the power package) that takes away motional freedom that can create a lot of mess. This will make it easier to find and keep a good rhythm.

You need to look, look, look, to monitor the flying wedges from breaking down. And if you enforce the flat left and bent right wrists throughout the stroke you can also feel the conflicts in your hands. Conflicts between where the clubhead is going and where the hands want to take it tends do be caused by problems with the rhythm. Then you can pick your poison. Let the wedges break down and have a flip. Or steer the clubhead. You are of course looking for a pattern where there is no conflict. But out of the course there will be strokes with some degree of conflict. But if it is of moderate character, steering by educated hands can bring the shot almost all the way home, IMO.

Rhythm is something you can and should be able to feel. When you have good rhythm there is a continous drag feel (lag pressure feel) from the club and also a smooth hinge action. No discontunities, no freewheeling, no snapping. It is a feeling of continous resistance.

If you learn to feel and monitor the rhythm you have a great asset in your toolkit.

And you do not only want to hit the ball with you hands, BTW. You want to hit it with your hands and the clubhead at the same time. Sccccccccccccccccmock!

Interesting as usual. Thanks.
To get the flyingen wedges right, I presupposed a FLW and a BRW. The rhythm you are talking about - is it in accordance to the definition in the book - and what Yoda is talking about? (Holding both lever assemblies to the same basic RPM thoughout the stroke while overtaking all other components at a steady, even rate).

Does anybody use - or would advise - to lower the clubshaft plane at the top of the swing as the downswing starts - a fall down, a little clubhead loop - in order to get a shallower and more in-to-out swing path into the ball?

[BerntR]

Yes. I'm using the TGM definition of rhythm.

i think you are talking about shifting from say the turned shoulder plane onto or more towards the elbow plane, this is a legit TGM move i believe

That's probably it. I was also thinking it would be a way to go to make it easier to the rid of a OTT move?
