Here's JB Holmes from a birds eye view. See how his right hip is inside the line of his right shoulder giving his right elbow a clear path to its Impact position with no need to re route , roundhouse.
These ideas are great. The Hip and Shoulder turns are unique to each other. I don't know the mechanical term but the Hip Turn moves one way and the shoulder turn another -- The McDonald Drills. It's like the long pole under your car that spins one way and the Axel spins another. Hip Action is when they're connected.
Like in that odd video Yoda taped while giving instruction to the non-TGM teachers. He made them walk and swing back and forth.
Roundhousing happens when the Hips and Shoulders turn the same way. When they both turn. When walking and swinging, the Hips move front to back and the shoulders turn up and down.
It's too hard to explain. Do the drill.
Quote:
7-14 HIP TURN The Hip Turn as a Stroke Component is strictly the product of the Knee Bend and the Waist Bend. Not otherwise could the weight be shifted and the Shoulder Turn Axis be tilted without moving the Head. A Hula Hula flexibility allows the Hips and Shoulders to be independent but coordinate and so avoid Right Elbow – and – Hip interference and its “Roundhousing” Throwaway (4-D-0) during the Start Down – the Delivery Line ROLL PREPARATION (12-3-22).
D, that 7-14 quote is interesting, thanks man. " Hula Hula" is a Slide With a Delayed Turn for me. I do it in one direction but there are some who do it in both. Bobby Clampett appeared to do it both ways in the video I took of him at Carnoustie. So I "Hula" and he "Hula Hula's". I dunno. How the Hula are you anyways?
Here is Hula Hula flexibility in the wild. Two things to pay particular attention to:
1. Jacqueline Smith is displaying a Slide with a Delayed Turn.
2. The head stays centered despite the Slide or Turn of the Hips.
3. Thats Bucket in the safari suit in the background of the opening shot.
OK- 2 questions:
1. How the heck am I going to get my "mind back in my hands"?
2. Who cares?.. what was my first question? I just have to watch the video to learn G.O.L.F.?? OK.
