How Do I Know I'm on Track on the Way Back?

[Yoda]

And what do I need to do?

What should my Body be doing?

What should my Arms be doing?

What should my Hands be doing?

How do I know I'm aligned to Plane?

How will these alignments 'morph' as I move into the Backstroke?

In my case I won't find out until after I see the ball in flight - Once I've decided to pull the trigger I just concentrate on keeping it smooth

How will these alignments 'morph' as I move into the Backstroke?

These are my point...

Body
Turn around the center of the pivot, for me the head. The body follows the commands of my hands.

Arms
Right elbow folds, stretches the left arm and traces the planeline

Hands
The magic of the right elbow cocks the left wrist. Right wrist bends.

Plane
Right forearm tracing a straight planeline, so do the sweetspot.

Don´t really get the last question... sorry.

Don´t really get the last question... sorry.

And that last question was:

How will these [Start Up] alignments 'morph' as I move into the Backstroke?

ac,

You monitor the same alignments as in Start Up, but they have all Turned to Plane. In other words:

1. As the Body Turns (and the Right Hip Clears), you continue to maintain the Extensor Action (of the Right Arm Takeaway).

2. The On Line Clubshaft (more specifically, its proxy, the Sweetspot) continues to point at the Line, only now it is the Grip end, not the Head end.

3. The Left and Right Wrist Conditions have changed from Vertical (to the ground / Horizontal Hinging; or to the Plane / Angled Hinging) to Turned On Plane. The Left Hand is now palm down to Plane; the Right Hand is palm up.

4. The Right Arm / Elbow Action continues to do the job of lifting the Left Arm Flying Wedge to the Top.

I think ac, like me, do not know the word "morph"...

Is that common language at the swamp...

Yoda, please elaborate on two points in the takeaway:

1. The difference between the hands turning to the plane for horizontal hinging and for angled hinging
   
   
2. Tracing the planeline - in another thread EdZ (I think) mentioned that you can choose to trace the footline (if it's square to the planeline).
   If you (at address) point your right index finger down, it points closer to the footline than to the planeline. Is it a valid option to trace a line parallel to the planeline, if it makes it more "visible"/"clear" to the player (and the right forearm remains on plane)??

You really need to personally witness the metamorphosis from humanoid to little green creature to fully understand the relevance of the word "morph".

Its not a pretty sight, mind.

bumb for tracing parallel lines
