From the Top

[Rob2197]

I used to have a problem with this.

I got rid of my tendency by using a hip slide (10-14-B).

The hips help move the right elbow into a release position.

It seems very similar to a standard hip turn (10-14-A) but the hip turn says a free turn in both directions which implys to me that it would be good for a swinger. The hip slide says weight shift in both directions which to me sounds like it would be good for a hitter.

Anyway, it worked for me. Hope it helps.

Any suggestions for staring down slowly when one is Drive Loading. I played today with winds 20-30 mph and the urge to start down quickly was overwhelming at times. I focussed on setting the Lag Pressure Point with the pivot and tried to drive the #3 ppt downplane with paddle wheel action all the way to both arms straight. It was fine most of the time but it was difficult to start down slowly. Any tips from the top out there?

Use the Practice Stroke to program the character of your entire Downstroke Motion and its Lag Pressure Feel:

Deliberate...

Unvarying...

Steady as she goes.

Repeat the words to yourself during your Address Routine.

During the actual Stroke, make this mantra your dominant thought, especially at The Top.

Then...

Drag your wet mop from The Top to The Finish.

Thanks Yoda! I knew you would have an answer to this dilemma. I cannot wait to get to the range tomorrow.
