More Magic of the Right Forearm!
ReplyDeleteNah, it's just TRICKY CAMERA ANGLES! Just like when JFK got shot. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're right Rich, I watched the movie again. Do you see the guy at 4:59 behind the grassy knoll on the left?

Abraham Zapruder was just one of those TGM nuts trying to con the world.
ReplyDeletelooks like elk
ReplyDeleteNot only the swing the putting stance and stroke is very similar to Brian Gay .
ReplyDeleteI could not find Simpson 's association with TGM in my google search .
Don't know for certain, but I'm pretty sure his teacher, Art Kraft, was a TGM proponent.
ReplyDeleteToday at the range I was using Brian Manzella's Never Slice Again pattern and playing quite well. In the last few shots though I concentrated on putting my right-fore-arm on plane and tracing the take-away. I only did this for my last 6 shots. With my 3 wood I hit 3 very long and straight shots. With my 7 iron I hit one shank and two very long and straight shots. The shank is something I'm always fighting, and caused by not doing the twistaway and being OTT, but the feeling of the right fore-arm being onp-lane was really nice. Richie, a question for you. To get the fore-arm on plane do you change your grip? I felt as though the handle was slightly more diagonal in my right hand palm and it felt so natural. I can't wait to try this again in my next session at the range. It was important that my right elbow was bent at address, and the takeaway was pulled by the right arm.
ReplyDeleteMy procedure for my grip is to have the left thumb down the middle of the shaft and then put the right hand on the grip so the left thumbnail is in the middle of my right palm. When I get the right forearm on plane the grip *might* get a little stronger (in style, not pressure), but that's about it. I am a firm believer that you don't have to have your right forearm on plane at address, but if you are a hitter or a swinger, that right arm is best off bent to some degree at address. When that right forearm gets way above the clubshaft at address, it usually makes the downswing path hard to execute consistently. I'm doing another video post on this soon, it will be part 9 of the understanding the basics of TGM series. Might come out tomorrow.
