  1. day 2 40 balls just swing no thought loose with no tension impact geometry.
  2. ok, sorry if I insulted you. But I just reread Hogan's downswing chapter and didn't see where he said he pushed off with his right foot. and I tried to keep the discussion relevant to the op's questions/statement; about keeping the club face square to the swing arc.....which is what the D plane is all about, well at least at impact.
  3. the implications were there, don't be coy exactly what made you think of that?
  4. I think his secret was he discovered the D Plane before it became a thing. His stance allowed 1 swing to put the low spot where it needed to be. He didn't have to chase different swings for different clubs. That thousand balls a day....he probably enjoyed. He knew where the ball would go.
  5. 2/25/223 I use 7 iron for working on particular items. Today was working on trail arm "down" working on aggressive transition and down and thru working on imagining/seeing club path and duplicate with out thought and free loose swing, no tension Total 60 balls with 7 iron; last 20 were speed and no thinking. 40 balls with 8 iron, same, speed and no thinking. 20 balls 5 iron, same, speed and no thinking.
  6. and/or meaning kind of what TGM means when they say "educated hands"
  7. you seem to agree the the pelvis has to act against something. I said quasi. "This is where you get into the weeds a bit with words like "torque of the pelvis." if the pelvis rotates, it creates torque "Rory slows his shift before the club gets outside of his trail foot during the takeaway. He slows his torque around halfway back. Well before the transition." the torque of the hips at transition rotation towards the downswing, not during back swing. During backswing he loads the trail foot getting ready for transition. sorry, using caps for emphasis. got no animosity towards anyone, just really don't know why anyone would think I am a "push off" proponent.
  8. I am saying that the trail foot, at the initialization of the downswing, Transition, exerts force on the Earth thereby creating a QUASI push off. I don't think it's actually a push off tho, as I have said. It's just a back stop for the torque of the pelvis to brace against. If your trail foot is gimpy, IT MIGHT affect your swing, as the announcers were alluding to. I don't think they meant he pushed off ALL THE WAY THRU THE DOWNSWING....but the may have and if so they are wrong on that IMO I THINK THEY USED THE WRONG TERMINOLOGY ALSO, BUT its a throwback to the old terminology. I have never stated that I thought golfers pushed off. Other people here continue to put those words in my mouth.
  9. how are you gonna see someone pushing off at the initialization of the transition???
  10. FEET plural for foot. Includes both feet. Left and right. Foot is attached to the leg. Guys, listen to what I am saying. I am NOT saying "Push off". I don't like the terminology of "push off" either. I never have. I say the feet, including trail foot, exerts pressure on the Earth. The body uses that pressure as an anchor. If that anchor is not there, the pelvis turn would not be AS EFFICIENT as it is; I DO NOT advocate that the trail foot CONTINUES to apply any force AFTER the initialization of the transition. Never have.
  11. " To maximise the golfers ability to create large amounts of rotational speed begins with the player driving their feet into the ground in order to transfer force through the kinetic chain and onto the golf club. (Chu, Y 2010) Ground reaction forces of up to 2.0 x bodyweight have been observed when hitting long irons and driver. (Hume et al 2005)" Kinematics that's what Newton's third law has to do with it.
  12. I purposely try to tuck the trail arm elbow. Something I read somewhere I guess😀 Will have to experiment a bit.
  13. there was nothing to work out. I was just asking what some swing thoughts were.
