4-B-1 Level

If the Right Wrist moved from Level to Uncocked, it would be Uncocking. But...it doesn't do this. The Left Wrist moves to Uncocked after Impact, and this Full Extension of the Primary Lever Assembly (Left Arm and Club) results in a Zero #3 Accumulator (7-18 ) and an 'In Line' Left Arm Flying Wedge (6-B-3-0-1). The Right Wrist, however, remains in its Bent and Level condition during this Extension. As a result, the On Plane Right ForeArm Flying Wedge remains unchanged and in its precision 90 degree relationship with the Left Arm Flying Wedge. Topic:Hinge Action -- A Primer |

Hitting or Swinging, the Bent Left Wrist in Adjusted Address becomes Flat in Start Up via Extensor Action (6-B-1-D). Both Hitters and Swingers may start from the Impact Fix Wrist Conditions (Flat Left and Bent Right). However, these Alignments favor the Hitter's Muscular 'Carry Back' Motion and Drive Loading with its ultimate Radial Clubshaft Push through Impact. Radial Clubshaft Push is always Right Arm Thrust. The Classic Adjusted Address Alignments (Bent Left and Flat Right) favor the Swinger's Centrifugal 'Swing Back' Motion and Drag Loading with its ultimate Longitudinal Clubshaft Pull through Impact. Longitudinal Clubshaft Pull is usually Left Arm Swing. However, when the Right Elbow replaces the Left Shoulder as the Stroke Center, it may also be Right Arm Swing (7-19).

You're welcome, MJ. As Homer said, "Precision is recognizing and reconciling minute differentiations." And you've just made a giant TGM leap! Now let's 'tighten the tolerances' a bit more: As we've discussed, the Level Wrist condition can be defined as Uncocked. That's because the Cocked Wrist moving to Level is moving away from a Cocked condition (4-B-3). However, the precison Impact and Address Wrist condition of Level is not considered to be Cocked. That term is reserved for the movement from Level to Cocked and excludes the movement from Uncocked to Level (4-B-2). Therefore, while Level can be considered 'slightly Uncocked,' it should never be considered "slightly Cocked." :oops: |

We're a little off on the Level
Wrist Condition. The Wrist is not Level when the Hand is in the 'Karate Chop' position and the middle finger runs up the Forearm. It is Cocked. Not Cocked to the Maximum, but Cocked nonetheless. See text and Photo 4-B-2. The Wrist is Level when the wrist bone and the edge of the hand (to the knuckle of the first finger) form a straight line. That puts the fingers in a slightly downward pointing mode, not up the Forearm. See text and Photo 4-B-1. This post is not meant to nitpick. It is meant to clarify one of the most important and misunderstood alignments in The Golfing Machine. Hands positioned with the Wrists Level are noticeably higher than those positioned in the Cocked ('Karate Chop') Condition. The Level alignment has a profound influence on the Stroke, particularly the Plane (both its Angle and Shift Variations); Release Trigger Delay; and the #3 Accumulator Roll through Impact. This crucial alignment must first be understood. Only then can it be established at Fix and thus scientifically and reliably reproduced at Impact. |
Level? Cocked? or Uncocked? BM#170

Yes, from the anatomically 'neutral' position ('karate chop')you have described, the Level Wrist Condition requires a bit of Ulnar Deviation (a sideways movement of the hand toward the little finger). However, starting from Level, a noticeable degree of Uncocking remains until the Wrist is fully Uncocked. See text and Photo 4-B-3. With the Flat Left Wrist Level at Impact, this assures that the Primary Lever Assembly (the Left Arm and Club) will not achieve Full Extension until after Impact. |
