Most of us know the difference and feeling of throwing ‘Overhand and Underhand’. The ‘Overhand Pitch’ is very similar to casting a lure out into a river. You rather throw the ‘Bait or Lure Mass’ up, out and across to the target spot. (see ‘The 12 Inch Landing Circle’) Works well in steelhead fishing, especially in brushy tight quarters.
Let’s think about tennis for a moment. Fewer people learn how to fish ‘Underhanded Forehand and Backhand’. This little ‘Tossing Action is immensely useful standing on the confining or restrictive riverbank. Little underhanded flip handed deliveries are really a sign of a seasoned steelhead or salmon fisherman. Really important in working your bait around obstructions.
Relate this ‘Hand Path’ to your golf strikes. If you have seen Jim Furyk’s unique golf swing, it is an ‘Outside & Up’ … Back & Up Swing Path. (see ‘Inside Out Path’) It starts ‘Above or Over Plane and then ‘Loops’ at the top to a ‘Below or Under Plane’. This is an ‘Underhanded Delivery’. It might feel slightly ‘Laid Off or Shallowing Out’ from Top Of Back Swing. (TOB) … in the Down & Out or Front Swing’. Be careful as these two procedures can become ‘Manipulation Errors’. The raw underlying error in ‘Casting is really Set-Up and deficient ‘Lower Body Machine Pivot Pressure or Brace Leg Drive’. ‘Casting is Arms Over Legs’.
Your fix will feel like a ‘Push Basic To The Low Energy Side of the Target Line’. Avoid making this into a ‘Push Block’ (Stuck Hands) procedure. Let your ‘Brace Hand Release Through The Bottom inside Cheek of the Ball’. (BIC – Ballistic Point)
Golf as a ‘Motion or Dynamic Activity’ is absolutely a ripe ‘Cause & Effect’ undertaking. Take a moment to consider 1) Spinal Crankshaft or Pivot Axis Condition (Set-Up), 2) your Brace Lever Activity (Brace Elbow Path) and 3) your Wrist Hinge Activity. These are always ‘Casting or Clubhead Path Causal’. Avoid fixing effects. Attack and overcome causes!
