Ben Hogan recommended to play the 5 iron from a square stance, to open the stance progressively for the shorter clubs and to close the stance progressively for the longer clubs. This shortens the backstroke progressively for the shorter clubs and lengthens the backstroke progressively for the longer clubs.
I wonder if this procedure would allow the player to use the same Aiming Point for all clubs? (The longer clubs getting more time for release because their release point would be a bit further back and in due to the closed stance, and the shorter clubs getting less time for release because their release point would be closer to the plane line / closer to the ball due to the open stance.)
In 6-E-2 (Aiming Point) I have found:
Quote:
Three procedures are available:
[...]
3. "Open" or "Close" the Stance per 10-24-F."
10-24-F is a reference to the Flip Release (which is a Variation that I do not really understand yet and have not been able to find much information on).
Does this 3rd Aiming Point Procedure require a Flip Release? If so, could someone please try to explain the Flip Release in layman's terms?
Also, in 10-24-F there is some reference to Swinging, but none to Hitting. Is Flip Release a Variation that is only compatible with Swinging?
Using the third aiming point procedure does not require a flip release, the flip release uses this procedure to give it precision despite it's pivot controlled hands nature.
automatic flip release is relegated to swinging because of it's strong pulling throughout even with right arm aid.
The 3rd aiming point procedure allows the player to have the same release point feel in relation to the body for varying clubs without moving the ball around.
The flip release is a pivot controlled hands procedure and so relates it's release feel to a relation to the body instead of the ball and plane line
Avoid the flip release because of it's limited potential for precision
Linear Mode
