Because Moe Grips the Club under the Heel of the Left Hand -- and not in the
Cup -- and because the Left Wrist is Level -- and not Uncocked -- the Plane
of the Left Arm cannot possibly be the Plane of the Clubshaft.

Teacher:

I certainly agree with you that a Grip with Club under Left Heel Pad and
Level wrist precludes Left Arm on Plane with Clubshaft. Do you agree that if
the Grip is in the Cup of the Left Hand that the Left Arm could be on-plane
with the Clubshaft? The reason I ask is because I have the Suttie video
wherein he does a freeze frame analysis showing that Moe's left arm is on the
clubshaft plane. His statement on the video is that Moe swings "on a
single axis", by which he was referring to the Clubshaft Plane.


Mathew or mgjordan, can you tell me how to get that Suttie freeze frame
displayed on the board? It is a VHS non-digital video. I will be glad to post
it so that everyone can view it.





Hi Bob,

Technically, when the Club is in the Cup of the Left Hand or
when the Left Wrist is fully Uncocked -- Zero #3 Accumulator (6-B-3-B) --
there is a Left Arm Plane. However, since these are synonymous terms, it is
best to consider this alignment as Zero #3 Accumulator (7-13).

But, this clearly is not the case in the above Address photo. It is
true that Moe has minimal #3 Accumulator -- the preferred Angle
recommended by Homer Kelley for reasons I have detailed in several posts on
other sites -- but there is some...and that is all you need for
Maximum Transfer Power (6-B-3-0) and, also, to negate the 'Single Axis'
Theory.

In the Follow Through (Both Arms Straight) photo recently published,
there appears to be a Left Arm Plane, but this is nothing more than
than the Primary Lever Assembly -- the Left Arm and Club -- at Full
Extension. In other words, the completed Release of the #2 Power
Accumulator (6-B-2-0 and 2-P) has resulted in the Left Wrist moving from its
Flat, Level and Vertical condition at Impact to its Flat, Uncocked
and Vertical condition post-Impact.

So, the post-Impact Full Extension of the #2 Accumulator has also Zeroed-Out
#3. This In Line condition of Left Arm and Club leads some to conclude
erroneously that the Left Arm and Sweet Spot have been adhering to the same
Inclined Plane throughout the Stroke. However, such is not the case. If this
'In Line' condition of the Golfer's Flail -- Angular Momentum (Phase Two of
the Law of the Flail per 2-K) -- was actually achieved at Impact,
the result would be an unstressed Clubshaft and a very soft shot (2-P). And
this obviously is not happening with Moe.

In the Release photo (also shown elsewhere on this site), the Right
Forearm is beautifully On Plane, but the Left Arm is clearly above this
Plane. This is the precision alignment of the Flying Wedges Assembly
(6-B-3-0-1) when #3 Accumulator is present. The commercial video I have of
Moe's swing clearly reveals this relationship wherein the Left Arm cannot
adhere to the Sweet Spot Plane. Therefore, throughout the Release Interval,
the Club describes an Arc around the Hands (when related to the Left
Arm) during the Clubhead Overtaking of the Hands (the #3 Accumulator Roll).
Simultaneously, it moves On Plane with the Right Forearm. A
Down-The-Line Impact photo would illustrate this point, and if someone
would put one up, I'd appreciate it.

So, until the Suttie analysis is posted, I can only conclude that (a)
selected frames of reference were used that gave the illusion of the
'Single Plane' for the Left Arm, Right Forearm and Sweet Spot; and that (b)
an inaccurate explanation reinforced the illusion.
