[Yoda]

Do you understand the string winding around the center image? That in such an
image, you would have a circle, a constant circle, and that as you wind the
string and unwind the string it would 'snap straight' back to 'full
extension'? It would be 'inside' the circle.

Your 'winding and unwinding string' image demands a Rotated Shoulder Turn (in
both directions); Zero Axis Tilt; and hence, Zero Weight Shift. This means Low
Power.

So, however else you choose to think of it, what you have described in your
image (as a substitute for Mechanics to produce a correct Feel)
is a Rotated Shoulder Turn (10-16-C) with a Shiftless Hip Turn (10-14-C)
and a Circle Path Delivery (10-23-E).


I would seriously advise playing downwind only.






No Lynn,
you do not understand my position at all.






Tell me how your 'winding and unwinding string' image differs -- in the
least little bit -- from the Stroke Pattern I have described. At this time, I
respectfully request zero deviation from that assisgned task.





OK - now, to start, let me clarify what 'you' think I am saying.

Let's look at a horizontal swing. Hands held out in front of you.
Is that the 'extreme' you think I am talking about?


[Bold by Yoda/Yoda.]





No deal. Stick to the assigned task; namely, telling me how the Stroke
Pattern I assigned to your 'string immage' was the least little bit
inconsistent. In case you've forgotten, here is the quote that established
the image:

"Here is another image that might get this across to you:

(from John Jacobs book BTW)

Imagine a circle, with its center and full radius of a piece of string.

Now imagine that center point turned and 'wound up' the string around it. The
string would shorten, the radius would shorten.

Agreed?

Now imagine that center unwound and 'whipped' the string back to full
extension. Always on plane. INSIDE the circle, only touching it at 'full
radius'

That is what I am describing.

Separate from a golf swing, do you understand this concept?"



So, I hereby swear I understand that 'string' concept "separate from a
golf swing." I also understand its mechanical equivalent in terms of a
TGM Stroke Pattern, and I have stated unequivocably its Low Power variation
from the ideal. Now I have asked you to tell me how in the
least little bit it is inconsistent with the 'string' image you have used
to illustrate your theory.


Please, sir, return my serve...or leave centre court.
