If you do not keep the hands and arms at the top during the shift, the Right Shoulder does not get on plane. Also the dopping of the hands encourages the weight to favor the right side instead of staying on the pivot point. Then you get a radial downswing instead of longitutional and get more of an over-the-top move. If on the pivot point, the pivot/turn pulls the arms down into the ball. Any driving of the pivot with the feet/knees does not work unless your shift is completed and weight stays on the left side. Hogan said that he took the club up on a slot and into a slot at the top. This is what I am looking for so that the shift, the Right Shoulder, hands and clubshaft will all be on the same plane for the downswing without compansations at the top. Other items in downswing waggles such as extensor action and right hip back are certainly a part of it. I am going to read and organize to the references that Yoda metioned and try to improve my plan. As Yoda said, the downswing waggle may be the "Master Move in Golf". I believe it to be so. An iteresting point, people who sag the knees have a hard time saging if the hands/arms say put at the top during the shift/shuttle. As you mentioned Homer said that if going to the end, you will need to come back to the top for the downswing. A good reference is the butt of the club pointing on the target line. These are my thoughts for what its worth. Thanks for asking. Donn dkerby View Public Profile Send a private message to dkerby Find all posts by dkerby
