Narrowing your stance will cause the Clubface to be more Open at Impact.
Widening your Stance will cause the Clubface to be More Closed at Impact.
Perfect weather day and format to work on Impact Fix and stsnce width.
I learned I play from a narrow stance most of the time.
It wasn't until I really put my feet outside my shoulders that I finally stopped fading my driver. I am getting used to looking at a true Impact Fix set-up and by the 7th hole I was hitting a baby draw that really ran out some 10-15 yards further.
I also got my short irons, finally, to start tracking to the pin and was able to save our team on all but 3 holes with shots that got on the green not near the pin, but in the idea of the direction of the pin.
My 12 hcp. was the lowest in our group and we finished in the top 10 with 6 under par. I chipped in once and sank two birdies from greater than 20 feet.
I have to work very hard now on set-up and training my Pivot!
Thanks Daryl!

It's good that the knowledge of the Right Forearm Angle of Approach has helped. All knowledge should transfer into improvements.
But, it does seem like you need some more time. There seems to be other issues with your swing that need to be worked out.
At least, your game won't fall apart anymore. You should be consistent from practice range to tee and from tee to tee and round to round of golf.
One of the thoughts I've had Daryl, is that with the knowledge of The Right Forearm Angle of Approach and the right wrist facing up in the backswing and in Start-down, it is much easier to use the right amount of Extensor Action as you mentioned and easier to keep the right elbow away from the body both for Swinging and Hitting.
I was nervous using the new alignments on the course yesterday and kept trying to find my side with my right elbow which certainly shortened my radius and distances.
In the following video, Lynn's right elbow is miles away from his side as his right wrist faces toward him at Top. His Impact Fix is undisturbed as he loads his machine with a slight bump (push off the right foot?) and "claps" his hands with the right forearm perfectly, time and again.
I have to let my Impact Fix travel fully to shoulder height before Drag Loading or Drive Loading, I believe.
Thanks!

I know where you're coming from. You should re-start your "Basic Motion" training, and quickly move to Acquired Motion. Everything will start becoming easier.
At 3:55 in the Video, he gets back into true form after the static demonstrations. He does an excellent job demonstrating the Right Forearm Angle of Approach at this place in the video. But he doesn't identify the Right Forearm angle of Approach as such. And, standing as upright as he does during the demonstration, you don't easily grasp the "Red Dot" learning aid I talked to you about. Sure, he's keeping it simple. To Yoda, it's as clear as day.
The video could have been more effective if he compared the Right Forearm Angle of Approach to the Swivel as I did with you. You seemed to easily identify the correct procedure by using a comparison to the alternative, "Swiveling".

With the proper Impact Fix position and a proper Bent Right Wrist the whole Power Package can go as high as it needs to with the restraint of the left arm that also provides a perfect "placeholder" for the 'Power Package." With the right arm farther away from my body, the right arm can slide very powerfully, simply dropping by covering the line or tracing the line powerfully, fluidly to the inner quadrant or back of the ball! I really didn't catch that before Daryl. The left arm check makes the right arm Impact Fix and and width carefree!
A simple hip bump of an inch activates a swingle powerfully falling straight down, out and forward into the ball.
Watch how Lynn's right forearm looks up to the sky as he works the flail and what a small hip move "throws out" the left wrist!

You're catching on.
And, that Right Elbow - away from the Body - at the Top or End, allows the "Hands" to accelerate rapidly and fully. This defines the "Hand Acceleration" phase of the "Downstroke Acceleration Sequence", necessary to bring a Lagging Clubhead into the Impact interval. Without it, Lag decreases, and the Shaft whips the Clubhead ahead before Impact.
Maybe understanding of how a machine converts rotary motion to linear motion?
HB
Linear Motion??? Maybe the #1 Accumulator but the Golf Swing doesn't produce Linear Force, but can make the ball respond to an angular force as though it were struck by a linear force.
Quote:
2-C-0 LINEAR FORCE The ball will respond to non-linear (angular) force exactly the same as to linear forces only if the application produce forces equally linear to the ball but not necessarily linear to anything external to the ball.
Briefly stated, it is necessary to find a way to compress the ball through a particular point along a particular line, and maintain this compression through the same particular point along this same particular line straight line, through the entire arc of the Impact Interval, and with geometrical precision for consistent control. Study 2-K and 2-N.
To maintain compression at a particular point that point, then, must rotate around the same center that the rotating force does. Not just the physical center of the ball nor the gravitational center – just the point of compression. In other words, the original contact points of the Clubface and ball must remain in contact throughout the entire Impact Interval. This is possible only if the motion – or arc – is uniform. Therefore there must be a perfectly centered action – or a compensating manipulation.
And, that Right Elbow - away from the Body - at the Top or End, allows the "Hands" to accelerate rapidly and fully. This defines the "Hand Acceleration" phase of the "Down stroke Acceleration Sequence", necessary to bring a Lagging Club head into the Impact interval. Without it, Lag decreases, and the Shaft whips the Club head ahead before Impact.
It is so cool to have the complete Power Package drop on a ball like a cruise missile on a terrorist, but the question comes in training the Pivot to do the firing with full power and malice!
As President Romney said "we can't kill our way out of the problem with terrorism," and we can't always kill the golf ball but a solid smash every couple shots is a beautiful thing.
To that end:

Yoda's response:
Quote:
That's right, Andy. In Pivot Strokes, the Down stroke begins at the ground (the Feet) and sequences upward through the Knees, Hips and Shoulders. The Hip Action (Hips pull Shoulders) shifts the weight and maintains the On Plane Right Shoulder during the Start Down. This Body Action pulls the Arms, and the Arms pull the Hands (which have experienced a momentary static period that defines the Top).

So a steady reversing pull of the body stops the hands and fires them down plane.
Woo Hoo this is fun.
