Shift
O.B., I am finding that one of the main purposes is
to get the Right Shoulder on plane. 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.
