3rd accumulator?

[stilltrying]

How is the 3rd accumulator released? and how is it affected by the cocking and uncocking of the left wrist(2nd accumulator)?

There is a thread in the archives, Chapter 6, #1, that explains this, and more.. http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...ead.php?t=2696

I read through the archives but I still cannot fully understand the #3. If zero #3 place the grip in the cup of the hand, and acute #3 angle would have a hands low appearance at address, than what energy is accumulated and released?

It would seem that the #2 stores and releases the vertical wrist cock motion but the #3 angle relates to the same plane of motion.

The #3 angle is based on the angle of the clubshaft and left arm when the wrist is LEVEL. So if the grip is in the cup of the left hand you have a zeroed out #3. To obtain MORE #3 angle you would just move the grip more under the heel pad with your Left Wrist in the Level condition. So #3 is STATIC. It is the angle you try to roll through. So at impact you are moving from cocked and uncocking to the Level condition set up at fix and thus your #3 angle of the shaft and left arm. Setting up MORE #3 angle requires more hands speed. This is why Preacher Poke Chop advises place the grip JUST under the heel pad. Setting up LESS angle to be rolled through . . . Less is more in this case.

Note: Players that set up with "low" hands don't necessarily have a sharp #3 angle BECAUSE the #3 angle is based on when the Left Wrist is LEVEL. Not Cocked as the "low" hands set up necessitates. You can certainly set up with "low" hands (some can argue advantages of this set up). Then just move from "low" hands to Impact Fix to determine the true #3 angle when your Left Wrist is Flat Level and Vertical to the ground at Impact.

You are trying to roll the #3 angle through impact. After impact #3 would be zeroed out when the left wrist is fully uncocked to Full Lever Extension.

So #3 is TRANSFER power. You are TRANSFERRING the velocity from the #2 uncocking into the rolling motion of #3. You roll the residual uncocking speed (remember #2 is the Velocity Accumulator) into the ball.

right, the transfer of acc#3 has a roll. The rolling of the flat left wrist is the whole enchilada. The swivel keeps the left flat.

"Prepare to roll" I love that line. Changed everything

Thanks 12 and 6b, a rolling forearm motion.

12 Piece, if you have read the "center fold" article in the latest Golf Magazine by A.J. Bonar I would be very interested in your thoughts.

I'll check it out. GOLF just wacked me. I forgot to renew my prescription. But I'll read it and holla back.

I have seen his tapes and they ain't all bad. He draws the clubface on peoples left wrist . . . so he talks about the hands controlling everything . . . His stuff is just incomplete.

Heck Dalton is an AI . . .

An important move to understand to be sure, one that 'most' people are lacking, but I find it offensive that he claims it is 'his discovery' - heck, Hogan's 5 lessons, page 102 shows it. Homer talks about it (ready to ROLL on that line), I've posted about it, Lynn has posted about it and done video clips.

That said, I would agree that the vast majority of teachers/books/videos of the past don't really stress this move enough, or confuse folks with how they present it. Although I've always liked the 'hitch hiker' drill of Toski/Love from "How to Feel a Real Golf Swing".

All of that said, what A.J. leaves out in that article is that the rate of rotation has to 'match up' to the pivot - smooth motion. This is one of the big benefits of a figure 8 strap, as it shows you the relationship between the pivot and the forearms (hands and chest). The root of 'Rhythm' and 'connection'.

Go out and give it a 'roll' until you can hook the heck out of it and 'hear' the ball - then learn to synch up your body rotation and forearms.

If you've setup well, set your flying wedges and taken your grip at impact fix, you'll like the results
