clock orientation Hi Chuck and Craig, not trying to get too pedantic here but the clock orientation for the foot is different than that of the arms/hands. Arms/hands is more like 12 oclock is facing the target and 6 oclock is at the top of the backswing. So to keep from coming over the top, the downswing stays to the inside and clockwise ...7 8 9 oclock... Before axiom was released, I had guessed, based on the other pre-videos, the key move was going to be keep the hands from breaking a vertical pane of glass when starting the move down. That's turns out to be consistent with the clock orientation I describe for the hands/arms and a great visual for me. And really really really doing it from the ground up is the key. Aha moment for me, sorry slow stubborn learner. I thought perhaps shedding some light on this clock orientation or pane of glass thingy could be beneficial to others too. Other visual for me is letting the right knee rotate freely and quickly to the 8-9 oclock position on the downswing, and then moving to the left to replace the left knee. This really helps get the hips open from the ground up. Getting off the merrygoround obviously does the same thing but I feel I'm much better able to maintain the tush line and open the hips correctly and a bit sooner if I focus a bit more on the right knee movement, which moves in a larger and more obvious circle than does the foot. Easier for me to get the correct feelings using the right knee vs the foot. A bit different than what you describe but figured I'd share and get some thoughts. Thanks again !!!
