Chuck! I've enjoyed watching and listening to some of your GOAT code stuff.

Hey Chuck! I've enjoyed watching and listening to some of your GOAT code stuff, but I have a major question. I am LEFT handed, but swing right-handed. Aged 69 and with a new hip and 35-year bad back I live in Nottingham, UK and was a good cricketer (think baseball!) for many years; I bowled and threw left-handed but I batted RIGHT handed!! I apparently have excellent hand/eye co-ordination and was able to time the ball sweetly and powerfully with little 'muscle' (slight build, 5'10" and honestly no athlete). I started golf aged 8 or 9 (right-handed of course), gave it up at 20 and re-started at 45 when my back, eyesight and athletic shortcomings stopped my cricket. I quickly got down to 12 H/C and settled there for years with a smooth, 'elegant' swing, 93-95 mph. Five years ago I briefly dropped to 6 but subsequent back issues PLUS 18 months of the dreaded 'yips' reversed all that and now I'm back up at 13. I would be happy to pay for a few of your GOAT video lessons but for one thing... it all seems to hinge on having a natural RIGHT HAND throw! Where does that leave a natural left-handed thrower?! Right-handed I throw like my wife, and left-handed I swing a club like her!! Wouldn't I just be throwing good money after bad? Btw I CAN release my left hand with a real snap, but have been trying to use more core muscles and quieten the hands - just the opposite of your highly plausible theory :laugh: I would love you convince me to give GOAT theory a go, given my weird, 'cross-threaded' left/right situation!

It's not so much a "throw" as it is widening the wrist angle. It's a move a bit more specific to golf that is quite simple. It's really in the wrist, not the arm
