Great view of Luke getting his Right Elbow stuck as always.
Ya know, he doesn't change his stance width for any club in this VID. Makes me cringe. So, the shorter the club, the more he plays the ball back in his stance (Right Forearm Angle of Approach). That's an Amateur compensation.
OMG. Playing the Ball in the Middle of your stance is so wrong in so many ways.
DRILL to correct this problem:
The Right Shoulder is part of the Pivot and is also part of the Power Package. It's the Slowest Moving Part of the Power Package. Hand Acceleration (delivery path) allows the Hands to move a little farther away from the Right Shoulder and Clubhead Acceleration (pulley) allows the hands to Move all of the way in-line with the Left Shoulder (very far from the right shoulder).
Tee a Ball 6 inches forward of your Left Foot.
Put your feet together (moves low-point forward)
Swing
Hit the Ball
Learn to move that right elbow, then hands to move the Clubhead.
Your Hands at Impact, should also be 6 inches forward of the Left Foot.
If your body is in the way.........if you eat too much........put your feet together, then place your right foot 6 inches back of your left foot. This is called (new terminology) "Clearing the Waist".
At First,Practice this with the "Bucket".
Your Goal is to hit that Ball Straight-Straight.
About a week ago Daryl, I narrowed my stance and was blasting the ball high and with a very high baby draw. I have been changing so many thing though I didn't really understand why and wanted to practice the correct stance as we discussed.
Thanks for the heads and hands up and accelerating buddy!
Can I ask a non-Bears related question? When you say: "Clubhead Acceleration (pulley) allows the hands to Move all of the way in-line with the Left Shoulder (very far from the right shoulder)." does that mean that with my hands at full Extensor Action and left arm level to the ground, that that parallel bump gets my hands moving at maximum speed?
Whoaaa! I just tried it with the impact bag and that is a very dramatic forward swivel!

Tee a Ball 6 inches forward of your Left Foot. (Because the left shoulder is low-point)
Put your feet together (moves low-point forward)(See above.)
Swing
Hit the Ball
Learn to move that right elbow, then hands to move the Clubhead. (Back to studying film!)
Your Hands at Impact, should also be 6 inches forward of the Left Foot.
(So the irons and everything must be 6 inches in front of the elbow?)
If your body is in the way.........if you eat too much........put your feet together, then place your right foot 6 inches back of your left foot. This is called (new terminology) "Clearing the Waist". (Love the new term!)

(Amen)
Wow, that sense of a whip is incredible!
Thanks Daryl!

Both videos, slow mo, identify Shoulder Acceleration. I couldn't find but a scant amount of Hand Acceleration, but I did witness a Large Pulley (Clubhead Acceleration) supported by the Pivot Rotation TO INCREASE (or at least maintain) HAND SPEED.
These are not good examples of the Downstroke Acceleration Sequence. Without a generous amount of "Hand Speed" (Straight Line Delivery Path) Lag will be lost and cannot be recovered.
Pete Cowen: I don't know of him. He seems to have some TGM knowledge, maybe a coincidence. He obviously cannot define or quantify the Right Forearm Angle of Approach which is what this entire video is about. But HE BELIEVES IN IT. He's RIGHT. But, he sticks his Elbow to his side, not because of choice (because he states that he wants to keep it moving forward), but lack of knowledge. Most Pro's play this way. Just goes to show that talent, hard work, and effort, one can overpower Alignments to some degree.
If you look at how many players make it to the PGA Tour that last only a few Tournaments or 1,2 or 3 years. It's sad. I've read that the average is 3 years.
Watch toward the end of the video, he cannot, does not understand, refuses, to get his Elbow Unstuck and he'll bend his left wrist when the bucket gets pushed to low-point. It's partly because He COCKS his RIGHT WRIST....SO...he leaves his Elbow at His Side to compensate for Uncocking the right wrist. If you MAINTAIN A LEVEL RIGHT WRIST - You will allow/manage your Elbow to move FORWARD. Put on a "CAST" and FREEZE the Right Wrist and you will OWN your Golf Swing.
That he mentions "Right Shoulder Support" without explaining that it's both Alignment and Force that supports the Alignment of the Pulley..... The need for continuing education.........
I'm no longer surprised that a Teacher who lacks basic Alignment Knowledge can survive in competitive teaching. I'm sure he helps a lot of players but I bet there's a lot of needless suffering. He does a poor job of explaining the underhand pitch.
GM: It's a shame. He's been teaching that poor guy for almost two years and he still can't play.
Quote:
The Straight Line Path is a simpler procedure than the Angled Line Path. But the latter is very natural movement and has the advantage of the true Elbow Plane through Impact. The former can have a steeper-than-normal Elbow Plane compensated with a reaching-out of the arms and a shifting of the Left Hand Grip that places the Clubshaft in the Cup of the Hand instead of under the heel of the Hand, and the Right Hand Grip adjusted to correspond. The sharpness of the arcs at either end of “Line” Paths determines how much of that “Line” can remain and how much the change from Linear Speed (Downstroke) to Angular Speed (Release) will increase Clubhead Speed without changing Hand Speed – the “Endless Belt Effect” of #3 Accumulator per 2-K#6 and 6-B-3-B.
Quote:
10-6-A ELBOW Where the Right Elbow touches the waist is the reference point used for this Plane Angle. It is the “flattest” normal Plane that will still allow the Right Forearm to be On Plane during Impact. This should produce a very flat Angle of Attack (2-B) with reduced Backspin and should be avoided for Short Shots unless it is also part of your Full Stroke Pattern. The Elbow Plane allows maximum #3 Accumulator requiring earlier Release per 6-N-0. This procedure is executed by the Right Forearm per 7-3 and 10-6-B and Elbow Location per 6-B-3-0-1.

I actually hit the ball through several fairways! Great drill Daryl I hit a lot of balls dead online. I kept looking for a fade or a draw but the ball just stayed straight.
Windy day and I left a few irons short, usually an iron or so. I need to experiment more with ball position. The easier I swung the driver and the higher I teed it, the further it seemed to go-straight. I experimented looking for a draw and just hit it straight. The wind would knock the ball down but the ball stayed on line.
I converted 1/3 birdie chances and really squandered a bunch of chips on the front turning 2 shots into 3. Had a realistic chance at 40 on the front but kicked it away in close. Amazing scores for me being off season!

In this case, the bear was waiting for me on the fringe with my chipping!

Daryl, when you say "move the elbow forward" am I to move it around my waist on a circle or sort of on an angle "through" my waist (sort of). I assumed the latter and want to be sure! Unless, there is another possibility?
Thanks!
