push and pull?

[6bmike]

Is it possible to both pull and push the club through impact at the same time? I had someone ask me this the other day and could not come up a good answer, maybe you all could help me out.

Thanks,
Kevin

IMHO-
Not really. Both qualities of the power source would be compromised and weaken. Some will say yes and argue the point til blue in the face. Pushing a pull is like a brake. Throwing out a push is off plane and reduces muscle power. Either one alone works great.

Another way to say it is.
all the left side is only being able to pull all the right side is only being able to pull.

I guess what I am trying to ask is this,

Imagine you and a buddy are discussing the golf stroke:

You Say: The golf club can be either pulled or pushed through impact

Your Buddy Says: why cant it be pulled and pushed through impact at the same time?

What would your response be?

What would your response be?

I would say "because pushing overrides centrifugal force" and if he wanted to know more, I would go a little deeper. But that is pretty good food for thought.
