The short version of a point in made in the long point: we might need to add.

The short version of a point in made in the long point: we might need to add silver devil to our lexicon. We’re familiar with white devil but there’s a silver one, too. As Chuck has noticed, many of us get the club in our hands and the foot movement falls apart. For me, I’ve progressed to being able to let the foot movement drive everything whether it’s no arms or a single arm. But then I add a club (no white devil even) and I get stalling of the foot about 50% of the time. Guess what that % drops to when I add the white devil to the silver devil? Not good. So maybe the takeaway is we’ve learned to be slow about adding the white devil but we also have to be slow about adding the silver devil. If the foot ain’t moving right then the rest of it ain’t got much of a chance.

Hmm we definitely don't need any more devils! I have seen this happen a few times when adding both hands, but not just the club yet, so we need to try and sort you out specifically. In all honesty, my guess is that you are holding onto way too much technical thinking, trying to control things and trying to make the club go where you think you want it instead of letting the club where it wants. You are likely making things way too complex, even trying to break down this movement too finite when it's more of an overarching movement that you don't need to fully understand. I know that's going to be hard for your engineer brain, I think the same way, but you have to shut your brain off for a moment and trust the motion of the hands and let the club fall and just "do its thing." Perhaps a 6 pack would be a good start to shut down that brain of yours!
