I am working on marrying the transition to mod 3. I realized after reviewing John E. “backswing option video…taking the outside backswing route" (like Trevino) that the arms dropping into the slot and the right knee flexing happens at the same time. For me this puts you in the Mod 1 position to flow into mod 3.
For me, arms dropping , knee flex and all weight onto right foot has to happen together…flowing together. When i can pull it off it gives me the momentum to flow into a powerful Mod 3 move and put a punishing strike on the ball.
I am sure John has mentioned this somewhere in the Mods, but I never put it together.
