Remember to keep set-up proper. Use true Impact Fix or true Standard Address. Remember the handle is tied to the belly button. Stationary head assemble the wedges with an Angle Hinge with Impact waggle!
"Belly lags up mid body hands or Impact Fix. Belly pulls down PP # 3 to Both Arms Straight for all strokes and chips. Drag the heavy wet mop don't throw it!"

DRAG PP # 3 as the club goes back it will return. LOOK LOOK LOOK! Impact Fix Angle Hinge works very reliably if you drag PP # 3!!! Mid -Body hands produces a Horizontal Hinge (remember the club face at set-up! The shoulder is the center!) when pulling/dragging PP# 3 with the belly button!
No trying just doing in balance! Dragging the Lag can be, should be, slow, positive and heavily focussed!

Cocking -- And Re-Cocking -- The Flat Left Wrist

No, Eddie. The referenced Bending would take place after the Hinge Action but before the Finish Swivel (back to the Plane) is completed. Admittedly, these are split-second differentiations, but they are necessary for Precision Golf. Why? Because the Ball knows.
However, programming correctly in this area requires that you know exactly what you are trying to achieve and how it looks. There is a gross misconception here -- striving to retain a visually Flat Left Wrist when the Left Wrist Re-Cocks On Plane during the Finish -- that really hurts a lot of players.
Remember, the Left Wristcock is a Vertical Motion, even when executed on an Inclined Plane. This is the same Motion the Left Wrist makes when hammering a nail, and the Cocked Left Wrist should look identical in both cases. And any degree of Left Wrist Turn when the Grip is taken (in Impact Fix) must be retained as Left Wrist Bend when the Wrist is Cocked. This is true wherever the Cocking takes place -- during the Backstroke Cocking or during the Finish Re-Cocking. In other words, the key thing is that the Left Arm and Club remain in the same Vertical Plane, the Plane of the Left Wristcock Motion, i.e., the Plane of the Left Arm Flying Wedge. Only in this manner can the Left Arm and Clubshaft remain In Line and the Stroke have true Rhythm (6-B-3-0).
In this circumstance, then, attempting to maintain a visually Flat Left Wrist during the Re-Cocking will actually result in an Arched Left Wrist. This Horizontal Grip Motion (4-0) puts the Clubshaft out of the Vertical Plane of the Left Arm and thereby disrupts the Left Arm Flying Wedge. In other words, you are trying to make the Club do something is simply does not want to do.
And that's not a good thing.

Hogan Stance
Mid-Body hands or Impact Fix,
RFT,
Belly Drag PP # 3 or Front Heal Drag PP # 3
(Belly =Angle Hinge and Front Heal Drag PP # 3 = Horizontal Hinge)
Aiming Point for Sand Shots prior to ball
Helped a young lady with her flying wedges and PP # 3 and told her about LBG.

Dropping elbow to side is very effect but I can't drag the lag and drop the elbow at same time. Vertically un-cocking the left wrist, firing it, is produced with dropping the right elbow or tracing the plane line quickly.

Started with a 7 and a 5 on a par 4 and par three..
Got in the weeds quickly but.....
got out just as quickly!
But, Adjusted Address and the # 3 "pinch" and Angle Hinge via the Hula/Hula (Rocking Horse) got me a birdie, par, par, par, birdie, par boogie to shoot a 41. Then I was feeling froggy and started unleashing the Horizontal Hinge!
I never hit drives so pure in my life! Down the middle with a draw "on purpose!" I went into shock- boogie, par par, boogie, par, double, boogie, par, par for another 41! My sand shots were solid and on target and I figured out my chips in the end. Got greedy and three putted some fast greens!
Anyway, I won a few bucks and one of the owners said I was pretty lucky as of late. I told him that it was not luck as I had not turned in anything above an 85 in the last 6 rounds and I was just getting started.
What I did well- Played with myself and controlled the Angle and Horizontal Hinges for irons and drivers. Good sand shots aiming handle 2 inches in front of ball, and kept my chips in front of me.
What I did poorly- Punch out shots need to be safe shots to avoid high numbers and I need to shoot to the middle of greens for the ball to not bound away into trouble. Also, I need to get the longer putts within a few feet and not try to make everything.

The last couple weeks have seen my growth in a couple of important areas in my game and most rounds now find me stringing together 4-5 pars a side and experiencing only one triple or two double per nine holes. Lately though, I am eliminating those bigger numbers.
What I am doing well- I have started to "hit" chips and pitches with my RFT and then right forearm thrust and the results have been several sand saves ( pays 1$ on the Monday game ) and excellent 60 degree pitches and chips within 3-4 feet of the pin. This has really helped my score.
I also discovered old Moe Norman "Natural Golf" instructions where MOe's action looks very much like Paul Bertholy's "Magic Move, Lynn and Ben Doyle's "dragging the wet mop" move! I RFT then "keep my mind in my hands as I cover my front foot with both arms straight HOWEVER I LET THE PIVOT CARRY THE BACK ELBOW PAST THE BALL UNTIL THE PIVOT SNAPS THE CLUB DOWN! I realize Moe says different things but his RFT and power package with right elbow low are my moves after Impact Fix!
THE PIVOT PROPELS BOTH ARMS TO A STRAIGHT POSITION AT THE FRONT INSTEP (INNER CIRCLE TURNS OUTER CIRCLE)!!
I really concentrate in firing my bent right wrist to my front instep in a "downhill" short punch! I do it for all shots hitting the inner quadrant and my friends have noticed how much more solidly I am striking the ball! It almost feels like it is all right arm thrust except the left foot "plants" and then I fire the power package down at an angle !
This Martin Chuck video of "Tour Striker " fame (thanks Gerry and Kevin) really helps me.
What I am doing poorly- I need to shoot over trouble on a green or away from it. I have not improved to the point yet where I can pick a target out on a green and should just shoot to the middle! I NEED TO ALWAYS HIT THE INNER QUADRANT OF THE BALL! I also need either extensor action or pushing the left arm into RFT.

Though shooting an 86, I realized the importance of a well-assembled power package. That was the problem, actually, I gained almost two clubs today!
What I did well-I don't know about you but having my hands and arms completely still with my right elbow coiled against my side (no rft today just a belly button shift right), allowed me to feel all sorts of ball crushing power being released as my Pivot carried my back elbow as far forward and as fast as possible. On a 530 yard par 5, my second shot was 210 yards away which I put on the green with my 2 hybrid about 30 yards away from the front pin. I made the par. I was sort of in shock.
What I did poorly- I necked 3 chips and left a lot of putts short. I'm not sure why I hosed the chips!

You can get your hands to the magical "Both Arms Straight " position in two ways with a bent right wrist/flat left wrist. You can RFT or lag back from Impact fix or a viable address position but then you "must" (I am a newbie so relax on this word ok?) hold the right bicep or isometrically flex it tight to your side as you come down.
When I did this yesterday, I gained the ability to let centrifugal force, generated by my Pivot, shoot or piston my right elbow and power package, fully assembled, past the plane of the ball so the divot happened in front of the ball BECAUSE I WAS NOT THROWING AWAY THE POWER PACKAGE! You can also just extend your right elbow fully keeping your right wrist bent aiming the # 3 PP which is what I do on all my sand shots and pitches and what I will remember to do on my chips.
THERE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH POWER IN THE "BOTH ARMS STRAIGHT POSITION" TO HIT THE BALL AS FAR AS YOU NEED TO! How else could Gary player or smaller golfers hit the ball as far as Ernie Els? Both arms straight compresses the ball and sustains the lag throughout the entire strike whether a hit or a swing!
Whenever I needed full power yesterday, and often when I didn't, I kept the tension in the back bicep and carried the elbow as far as I could completely trusting the centrifugal force to release the club where my hand aimed it!
It feels as if I am, uhmm, DRAGGING A WET MOP!!!!! THE BACK ELBOW ZIPS DOWN WHAT FEELS LIKE A GREASED RAIL AND THEN THE BALL GOES FURTHER THAN YOU WOULD EVER EXPECT! I hit a 140 yard 9 iron yesterday up a hill to the backside of a green that stayed in the air forever and cratered an inch deep. If it hadn't hit the green, it would've run out beyond 150 yards. I hit a 52 degree wedge 120 yards over a pin. So, the Pivot has to be gauged to shoot the elbow or bicep or #3 PP at the right speed!
I didn't score well yesterday because I was always well past the pin in weird places or really far off the tee where I was not use to hitting anything!
I don't know why tour players say they "loosen up" when they want to hit the ball far, maybe they flip the club faster?
Anyway, thanks Lynn and fellas!

The only reason is hitting the ball 260 yards in the winter is because those are range ball in the winter! I have seen Lynn HIT a ball in April in Georgia and that ball carries close to 300 yards ! Watch how his elbow or bicep is tight until thrown by the Pivot.
