My God, I Accidentally Found the Slot! (REVISED)

While I was trying to implement an article about how professional golfers ...

So I wrote the previous posting.  While I was trying to implement the pull and pull - or double pull technique, I found out about this slot.  Let me explain, I was hitting balls at the driving range and I was having a problem trying to bring back the club.  I remembered what I told Anthony about the proper takeaway before.  I think I even posted something about it.  I told him that the takeaway was just bending the right wrist backward.  So I started it, a little like the alive grip but more of the wrist bending. More and more, my backswing was getting smoother and then, bingo - it happened.  The backswing was perfect - so perfect that it matches what I was working on - which is the double pull technique

Well here is everything, not only the takeaway but the full swing.

The grip is a little bit the alive grip but the three right fingers are more holding the club.  They are the one that flicks the club head and launches it like a satellite.  Only the right wrists moves - until the momentum pulls the left shoulder in - then it (the left shoulder) joins the takeaway.  Somewhere along the backswing, the slot materializes and the corresponding "plane" or the target slot appears. I guess the hips are also pulled but the attention at the top of the swing is already on the target slot where the butt of the club will be pulled in.  That is the downswing - the butt of the club is pulled to the target slot and the body turns around to continue and power up the shot.

By the way, the action is a flick of the right wrist.  Another way of doing this using the left palm and pushing it downward while the right middle finger (alive grip) is used as a fulcrum. Use whatever works.

Do not forget to use this for all shots including the putter. The right wrist must start and all the rest follows when pulled by the club.

Here we are April 4th 2014 and finally found the missing link that binds all the moves illustrated here.  What is missing is SEEING THE BACK SWING PLANE WITH THE CLUB FACE BEING PANNED ALONG IT WITH THE "FLICK".  THE FLICK IS ACTUALLY JUST THE ALIVE GRIP WITH THE LEFT PALM PUSHING DOWN WHILE THE FULCRUM FINGER PULLS AND PANS THE CLUB UP ALONG THE PLANE. THE RIGHT HAND GRIP IS EXTREMELY WEAK LIKE THE EXPLANATION IN THE FOLLOWING POST. THE LEFT HAND MUST CONTROL THE CLUB ON THE FORWARD SWING UP TO THE PICTURE PERFECT FINISH.

IMPORTANT (April 9, 2015)

What was discovered here is the essence of the golf swing.  On chip and putts, the axis is the hands is while in a regular swing, the axis is the shoulder.  The pulling force is dependent on the individual.  The main point to remember is the golf swing is the fluid motion of bringing the club up pivoting along the axis with the body feeling the weight of the club.  When the desired moment is reached when the club has stopped its acceleration, the pull of the body is started and the club thrown towards the ball, letting the pulling force be as violent as desired towards the target and then the body closing up to the picture perfect finish.

We must remember that this is the whole objective in the Imperfect Golf Swing - to create this fluid motion of bringing the club up and feeling the weight of the club and pulling and throwing the club head along the ball towards the target and turning the body to the perfect finish at the top.  All the rest, the grip, the stance, etc. are dependent on the capability of the individual to execute this move.
