12-5-0 The Basic Motion Curriculum

[Yoda]

Then, how can we learn to use pressure point #1, as you mention. In 12-5-1
and 12-5-2 There is no mention about pressure point #1 and I like to learn it
through these 12-5-1 and -2.


thanks

You are wise to use the Basic Motion Curriculum (12-5-0) to assemble
your G.O.L.F. Stroke. Homer Kelley was very proud of it and felt it would one
day become, in his words, "more popular than the book itself."
Remember, the purpose of the Curriculum is best served if the Motion is kept
continuous, i.e., back-and-through and back-and-through and back-and-through,
as you integrate each Component. Use 'breaks' in the process to rehearse the
Address Routines of 3-F-5 and 2-J-1.

You have observed that Pressure Point #1 is not listed in the Curriculum. Nor
is Pressure Point #4. However, you will find Accumulator #1
(the Right Arm) and Accumulator #4 (the Left Arm) as Items #12 and #9
respectively in Stage One (the Basic Motion per 12-5-1). The
Accumulators are normally actuated by their "same numbered"
Pressure Points (7-11). So, when the Study References are given to 6-B-1
(Power Accumulator #1) and 6-B-4 (Power Accumulator #4), the references to
Pressure Points #1 (10-11-0-1) and #4 (10-11-0-4) are implied.


As stated in 12-5-0, the items in each of the Three Stages are meant to be
interpreted per the Stroke Patterns of 12-1-0 (Hitting) and 12-2-0
(Swinging). In other words, if you are learning to Hit, then the Right
Arm becomes active, and Pressure Point #1 becomes its Direct Drive. If you
are learning to Swing, then the Left Arm becomes Active, and
Pressure Point #4 becomes the Direct
Drive.


Pressure Points #2 and #3 are listed (as Items #14 and #15 in 12-5-1).
Their associated Power Accumulators (#2 and #3) are not introduced into the
Curriculum until Stage 2 (the Acquired Motion per 12-5-2). The Swinger
uses Pressure Point #2 to drive the #2 Accumulator -- the Wristcock -- but
normally only as actuated by Centrifugal Force. The Hitter drives the #2
Accumulator with Right Arm Thrust (2-P) using either Pressure Points #1 or
#3. Finally, the Clubhead Lag must be assigned to one of the employed
Pressure Points, and this is almost always #3. For both Hitters and Swingers,
this constitutes the Indirect Drive of the Club through Impact.
