Great descriptions gentleman, while doing some range work this evening I hit some decent shots focusing on the release. The shots that I timed well resulted in about a 10-15 yard gain. The ones that were not as good were slightly overlooked draws but nothing that would kill me on the course. I'll keep working at it as my goal over the next 5-6 months is to get my index to 5 or better as I am currently a 7.3. Thanks for your help again guys. ]]> Wed, 08 Sep 2010 23:38:10 +0000 http://www.golfinstructionworld.com/golf-instruction-forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7408&PID=62422#62422 One Plane Swing Theory and Help : Takeaway - Shoulder Rotation http://www.golfinstructionworld.com/golf-instruction-forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7352&PID=62421#62421 Author: BBGolfer

I try to feel/envision my hands passing the ball before the clubhead and swinging to a full balanced finish.  It helps me get through the ball without trying to slap at it.

What really helped me transition to RST was the LADD with an impact bag.  It made me get back to using my core for move 3 so that I pulled with my left oblique, lat and arm into impact.  After a week of that drill I added the right arm and have been on track ever since.  I still fight getting the right arm active too early and when that happens I take some left arm only swings to get the pull feeling back.

I think my problem is getting this elevation with a torso led rotation (passive arms). Whenever I try and even think about getting my hands higher in the backswing, I end up using my hands to get them there which ruins my swing. 

Perhaps I need a little more angle at address to ensure the turn goes more up than around?

In the RST downswing, the left arm is actively pulling the club into impact after the lower body has moved into the correct position.  The right arm and hands are relatively passive until the club approaches impact.  At this point, the throw the ball drill shows the action of the right arm.  The right arm action is generated from the elbow to the wrist -- like hitting a nail with a hammer.  The right hand/wrist should not be overly active -- if it becomes too active too early, you will cast the club and flip the club through impact.]]> Wed, 08 Sep 2010 09:09:36 +0000 http://www.golfinstructionworld.com/golf-instruction-forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7408&PID=62417#62417 One Plane Swing Theory and Help : Takeaway - Shoulder Rotation http://www.golfinstructionworld.com/golf-instruction-forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7352&PID=62416#62416 Author: BBGolfer

What I am concerned about with TW is how the media is going to treat him and how that will effect him. I hope they get him upset to be honest (not a nice thing to do) but it will motivate him so that he would be unbeatable.

What Woods needs is something to fire him up and to enjoy golf again. I don't think he will be an issue at the Ryder Cup. I am a huge Mickelson fan and feel he may not do that well.

There is a lot of young talent on the both teams I am really looking forward to seeing who will step things up!

The idea that Woods has a poor Ryder Cup record is an easy statement but a poor argument.  If you look at wins and losses he has the second best record on the team.  Maham is 2-0-1 so he carries the title of best record.  As far as tiger being a good or bad team mate how would we know?  If you haven't been involved in the actual event then you would not know.  The only other source would be the wind bags on TV and it seem that they will say anything for attention.]]> Wed, 08 Sep 2010 08:42:24 +0000 http://www.golfinstructionworld.com/golf-instruction-forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7409&PID=62414#62414 One Plane Swing Theory and Help : Takeaway - Shoulder Rotation http://www.golfinstructionworld.com/golf-instruction-forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7352&PID=62413#62413 Author: JoeShmoe
