1. Fulcrum lift
2. Twist
3. Un-twist

Fulcrum lift

Fulcrum lift refers to the way the club is brought up during the back swing.  This is really the execution side of the alive grip.  From the alive position of the hands, the right middle finger pulls the club while the left hand pad pushes down.  This action will send the club up.  At the top of the swing, the body twist below is started.

Twist

Twist refers to the body twisting at the conclusion of the back swing. There is actually more to this than just twisting the body until the muscles are constricted - and eventually the hips or waist muscles.  It actually culminates when the right hand (in the fulcrum lift above) reaches the maximum cock at the top.  It can be thought of as the point where the right hand gives control to the left arm and wrist.  At this point, the left arm and wrist are stiff and forming an "L" at the top.  The mental awareness transfers from right hand to left hand at this point and then the waist/left hip muscles.  The un-twisting action below follows.

Un-twist

Un-twist is the process of the waist or left hip pulling the body and the arms recoiling to bring the club around and hitting the ball forward.  It can be as simple as this.  However, the stiff left arm and L shaped wrist can be actively guided to hit the ball if desire. This left arm action though is not a requirement.

The un-twist motion is initiated by the waist with the body and arms following but as an automatic recoil.

Is Slo-Mo Shoulder Assist the Secret of the Short Game?

Putting:

1. Read previous instructions on this.
2. Make sure the putter head is laid down on the ground before the back swing.
3. Use the shoulder to "rock open" the putter blade.
4. Make sure this is slowly done backwards.
5. With the shoulders, slowly hit the ball.  When everything is feeling good, the right hand might even be the one left to hit the ball.
6. Make doubly sure that the forward swing is slow, slow enough to be able to know the putter head is coming back the desired way.
7. If not sure of the way the putter will make the "hit", the slow-motion way should ensure that the putting motion can be stopped!
8. Read the instructions previously written about putting and make sure you incorporate these ideas:
1. the putter face opens
2. the shoulders swing is stopped at the point just before the putter face swings around
3. aiming is the golfers responsibility.

Chipping:

1. Employ the "alive" grip.  This part is obligatory.  And the right hand does the needed cocking.
2. Imagine what kind of shot you are going to make and leave the club head open to the desired extent.
3. Make sure the club head is laid down on the ground before the back swing.
4. The right hand starts the fanning of the club and continues to cock - the severity of cocking depending on the height or flight needed by the ball.
5. At the same time, the  shoulder "rocks open" the club head slowly but fully backwards.
6. Again, make sure this is slowly done backwards.
7. Depending on the type of shot needed, the club head can come up high or stay low on the ground.
8. The shoulders slowly rocks back to hit the ball. 
9. Make doubly sure that the forward swing is slow, slow enough to be able to know the club head is coming back the desired way.
10. The right hand initiates the cocking and the shoulder react and then takes over the forward swing to bring the desired shot.
1. the right hand can flip sharp forward to keep the ball low but stop abruptly
2. or, it can stay open to get better height of the flight of the ball.

Pitching:

1. The chipping technique above can be modified for the pitch.
2. Some technique to gauge the distance should be developed.
