One vital element in a Machine-Like golf swing is a firm Left Wrist through impact.

The Flat Left Wrist is mandatory through impact and some believe (definitely including myself) that it should be Mandatory throughout the stroke.

Flat in this instance means "in line with the forearm". The golf stroke has Three Imperatives, Flat Left Wrist, Clubhead Lag Pressure Point and a Straight Plane Line

The first stage of the Basic Motion Curriculum concerns mainly the Basic Body Positions and Basic Power Package Component Alignments and Arm Motion, Power Accumulators.

In fact, it is no exaggeration to state that it is the Foundation of the Golf Stroke

This first stage can indeed serve "as a syllabus for an exercise lesson." But it is so much more. In fact, it is no exaggeration to state that it is the Foundation of the Golf Stroke.

Remember, you swing through the Ball, not at the Ball. The Basic Drill is without a Ball and with continuous back and through and back and through and back and through motion.

Periodically, stop at the end of the Stroke, and Look, Look Look to verify that your Wrist Alignments have been maintained. Then, resume the back and through continuous motion.

This is the only way forward to golfing excellence.

Impact is the "Moment of Truth"

The following will show a list of differences between the golfer at Address Position and at the moment of impact.

The one thing you can be certain about and that is Address and Impact are completely different.

Yet when we ask golfers to take their address position and then demonstrate where they would be at impact position nearly everyone just stays at Address as they think this is where they have to come back to at Impact. WRONG.
 

This is a Tribute to Ben Doyle (USPGA, GSED) by Chris Little.

I was honored with the opportunity to produce a tribute video for Ben Doyle which was shown as he received The Golfing Machine Lifetime Achievement Award. Chris Little

Ben Doyle was the First Authoirized Instructor in The Golfing Machine. In 1969 Homer Kelley author of The Golfing Machine came tp Bens pro shop and they sat for six hours while Homer discussed The Golfing Machine.

Ben Doyle new right there and then that this was what all golfers had been waiting for.

This System of teaching has revolutionized conventional instruction worldwide. There are hundreds of Teaching and Playing Professionals using this System.

Chris Littles video Tribute to Ben Doyle gives a great account of Ben Doyle, the Man, the Golfer and his one Mission.

It soon becomes apparent that the body can duplicate a Machine, grasp the parallel and escape limiting old concepts. Develope the Machine Feel where you can just turn it loose and Trust it.

View the Left Shoulder as a Hinge arrangement not as a shoulder at all. The right arm as a piston, the hands become adjustable clamps with two-way power actuators for Vertical anfd Horizontal manipulation.

The Left Wrist as a Hinge Pin allowing Wristcock but no Wristbend. The Arms as connecting rods to the Rotar the Pivot.

These were the words of Homer Kelley author The Golfing Machine. The Golfing Machine has Three Functions, to control...

The Flying Wedges are the Precision Assembly and Alignment of the Power Package basic structure and are Mandatory during the entire motion, both Hitting and Swinging.

It is secondary in importance only to the Flat Left Wrist, the Left Arm Flying Wedge.

This forms the Precision Assembly and Structure of the Power Package and is absolutely crucial in delivering a fully supported club into the ball.

It is this ideal structure that is to be Assembled, Loaded, Stored, Delivered and Released into Impact, the Follow-Through and the Finish.
