Just got back form practicing short wedge shots using an interpretation of Abe Mitchell's use of the hands and arms and found a steady throw.

Not sure I understand the pulling reference. The bottom line though is MIke Austin did not teach me to resist with the left. Best, Chuck Hey Robert,

My question is did Mike teach in order throw the club to pull with the right resist with the left? Hello Chuck,

In order to throw under handed with the right hand arm you are pulling the object threw in order to straighten the right arm. My question is did Mike teach in order throw the club to pull with the right resist with the left?

Swinging like Mike Austin, I was finding it next to impossible to take a divot. The club head just barely hits the grass under the ball. The newest video on the power drill was amazing. Initially I thought there is no way to move the left hip that much laterally and not fall all over the place. The power move, after leisurely straightening of the right knee on the back swing, with the right hand throwing motion on the downswing, has taken my ball striking to a new level. I can't wait to learn the upper body power move. One more discovery. While leisurely straightening the right knee, I leisurely move the whole upper body, (it feels like the right leg straightening is tossing the upper body complex to the top in a relaxed fashion) seems to be a great feeling.

Never.
Mike’s swing actually went “under, out and up”.

The right hand and the right knee come through together. I will have more details on that. Mike often used that train analogy. In this case he meant that he you don't properly use your ankles, knees and hips, your swing motion will stop. As in a train, the box cars will all then collide and run into the engine.
