Hey all - I did this as a quick reference guide to the swinging procedure in chapter 12 from the greatest book in golfing history - The golfing Machine by Homer Kelley.
I hope that all can find this useful - especially those that don't own the book....
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Components of 12-2-0
1. Grip Basic - A - Overlap
Any number of the last three fingers of last fingers of the Right Hand may overlap any number of the first fingers of the Left Hand. Increasing the amount of overlap further diminishes the leverage of the Right Hand….
2 Grip Type – B – Strong Single V/V/A
The #3 Pressure Point and the Let Thumb are now on the Aft Side of the Clubshaft in an On Plane Location for Impact support. Wristcock only – Single Action.
3 Stroke Basic – B – Pitch
From a “down-and-in-the-front” Elbow position, whether the Elbow is touching the Body or not, a Right Forearm underhand Pitch is delivered at the Aiming Point with a stiff-wrist slapping motion.
The only real difference from 10-3-A is that the Right Elbow can lead the Hands into Release much farther with the same amount of Hip travel (6-B-1-C) and is therefore conducive to greater Trigger Delay (10-20) for Snap Releases.
4 Stroke Variation – C-4 – Triple Barrel (2/3/4)
#2 – Left wrist – Cock, Level and Uncock
#3 – Left Hand – Turn, Vertical and Roll
#4 – Left Arm – The angle formed by the Left Arm and the Left Shoulder
5 Plane Line – A – Square-Square
This “Basic” combination sets up the Plane Line and the Stance Line parallel to each other and to the Target Line – The classic “Square Stance”. See 10-12-A
6 Plane Angle Basic – B - Turned Shoulder
This reference point is primarily the point reached by the Right Shoulder after a Flat Backstroke Shoulder Turn. But any other controlled Shoulder Turn can also provide an acceptable reference point. See 10-13-0. This Plane Angle has far better performance characteristics than any other because any Plane Angle Shift is very hazardous. This procedure does not refer to the disruptive Shoulder Turn Takeaway which is always too “Flat and/or too “low” making a Plane Angle Shift mandatory and usually unintentional and unsuspected. Study 7- and 10-24-F.
7 Plane Angle Variation – A – Zero
This classification is included so it can be indicated in a player’s prepared Stroke Pattern that one Basic Plane Angle is to be used throughout the stroke without a “Variation” – That is, No Shift.
8 Fix – A- Standard
The STANDARD FIX POSITION calls for a comparatively “squared away” Body position per 3-F-5-3 and 10-12, with the ball positioned per 2-J and 2-N. Except for special conditions this is the preferred position for both Hitting and Swinging (10-19).
9 Address – A – Standard
The identifying features of this position are:
1. The square body position.
2. The mid-body position of the hands.
3. The Standard Address position condition of the wrists – left) B/L/V, right) F/L/V
10. Hinge Action – D – Dual Horizontal
With this arrangement the Angle Mounted Hinge maintains the clubshaft on the Inclined Plane while the Horizontally Mounted Hinge keeps the Clubface turning (closing) throughout the Impact and Follow-through intervals by holding the left Wrist vertical to the ground per 2-G and 6-B-3.
11. Pressure Point Combination – C-4 – Triple (2/3/4)
#2 – actuates the Secondary Lever Assembly (6-B-2), normally, only as “Passive Clubhead Lag” (6-C-2-A). It is Loaded (7-22) per 6-B-2 and 7-19-3 and is a Swinger’s Rope Handle application.
#3 can be either active or passive (6-C-2-A) Accumulator #1 indirect drive (7-11) of the Secondary Lever Assembly (6-A-3) (2-K). That is, actively as Accumulator #2 Axe Handle application for Hitting (10-3-K, 10-19-A) but passively as Accumulator (6-B-3-0, 10-19-C) or with a Right Arm Swing (10-19). This pressure Point is located and manipulated per Grip Type (10-2), Lag Loading (10-19) and Delivery Line (2-J-3) requirements. It is Loaded (10-22) per 7-19 as required by Component 19 application being employed (10-19).
Remember with Swinging, Pressure Point #3 must have a Feel of being rotated a quarter turn at The Top with Standard Wrist Action (10-18-A), just and only because of the Loading Action direction – no actual movement of anything. So from the top to Release, the Loading puts the top side of the clubshaft against the first knuckle of the forefinger. But with Hitting there must be NO change whatever.
When the Wrists “Swivel” back to the Vertical Position (4-C-3) during Standard Wrist Action (10-18-A) per 6-B-3, Pressure Point #3 may – but need not – return to its “strong” position (Aft side of the Clubshaft). That is – if left in “Top-of-the-Clubshaft” position it becomes a Weak Single Action Grip (10-2-A) and the interchangeable equivalent to 10-2- C for Swingers. But both are improper for Hitters using Single Wrist Action (10-18-C).
#4 is normally active direct drive (7-11) of Accumulator #4 for actuating the Primary Lever Assembly (6-A-2) for Swinging (10-19-C) per 6-B-3-0 and for Hitting (10-19-A) per 2-M-4. It is Loaded (7-22) per 6-B-4 and 7-19-3
12 Pivot – A – Standard
This Pivot is a free turn in both directions – used when the Stance Line and the Plane Line are parallel (10-5-A, -D, -E).
13 Shoulder Turn – A – Standard
This is a dual application of the Flat (-B below) Backstroke and On Plane (-D below) Downstroke Shoulder Turn.
14 Hip Turn – A – Standard
The Standard Hip Turn (of any length) is a free turn in both directions with a weight shift in both directions. During the Circle Path Delivery (7-23) use the Turning Hip to carry the Right Elbow around into Release position for a Trigger Delay Control procedure (7-20).
15 Hip Action – B – Delayed
The shoulders lead and power the Backstroke Hip Turn – or at least lead. The Hips then take over and lead and power the Downstroke Shoulder Turn. Use this Hip Turn to prevent overswinging. Turn the Hips a predetermined amount – or none at all – and then “semi-lock” them at that point before starting back with either the shoulders or the Club. This willstop the Shoulder Turn at any preselected place, tighten the Left Side tension and set the stage perfectly for the Hips to initiate the Downstroke Shoulder Acceleration. But remember the shorter the Backstroke Turn the steeper the Plane Angle (10-13-D). See 2-N and 7-17.
16. Knee Action – C – Right Anchor
This method is the exact reverse of –B above (LEFT ANCHOR). Here both Knees remain bent until the Sit Down Position is passed. Then the Left Knee begins to straighten. This keeps all pre-Impact motion flat. But the Follow-Through tends to rise quicker with the straightening of the Left Knee.
17. Foot Action – C – Flat Left
This procedure differs from –A above (Standard) only in that the Left heel is not Lifted at any time.
- reference to standard 10-17-A – This procedure produces the maximum Foot Action. The Left Foot is Rolled and Lifted at the Top and the Right Foot is “Rolled” and “lifted” at the Finish after passing through the Sit-Down Point with both feet Flat.
18. Left Wrist Action – A – Standard
With this procedure the wrist is Turned and Rolled (FCT) during the Backstroke which requires that it be Rolled and Uncocked during the Release. Only where this procedure us used, do the Hands “Swivel” into Hinge Action Position. Study 4-D-0.
19. Lag Loading – C – Drag
Drag Loading is the Rope Handle Technique of the “Swinger,” an out-and-out PULL, striving to accelerate the Clubshaft lengthwise, from a quick start Down to Release. Start the Club down as though it were being drawn from a quiver like an arrow – feathered end first. Maintain this motion until the Release switches ends. This is possible only if, and for as long as, Inertia can hold the Clubhead inside the arc of the Hands or hold to a Line Delivery Path (2-L) Centrifugal Force will set in when the Clubhead crosses to the outside and it will begin to pull into its own incidental orbit per 2-P and 2-K#5. Then further acceleration can be applied only at pressure Point #1 to support the Pull on the Clubshaft – especially for the Short Shot Power.
Develop an “Instant Acceleration” Hip Action” (to the Desired Hand speed per 10-15-B) so that the Throw Out Action (6-B-3) can immediately set up the Rhythm and take over the rest of the Downsroke sequence (6-M-1). See 2-K and 6-F-0. With or without Wristcock, always Drag (or Pull 10-3-D) a swinging club Down Plane – even with only centrifugal (Angular) Momentum (2-K)See 10- 23-C
For Clubhead Throwaway Prevention, monitor the pull of Centrifugal Force and the Drag of the Lagging Clubhead.
20 Trigger Type – E – Wrist Throw
Here, the Right Hand remains palm-up to the Plane during the Uncocking of the Left Wrist to produce a sequence Release per 2-G and 4-D-0. Especially compatible with Swinging. See 6-H-0-F.
By deliberately initiating the Wrist Roll at any point before reaching the end of the Delivery Path Line, the Non-Automatic version can be produced.
21. Power Package Assembly Point – C – End
When the Backstroke arches on beyond the Top, the Assembly can occur at the End of the Backstroke travel, regardless of which of the Paths to the ball will be used on the Downstroke.
22. Power Package Loading Action - C – Snap
This pattern places the Loading on the Power Package at the last instant with a delayed Snap of the Club into position.
23. Power Package Delivery Path - A - Top Arc and Straight Line
This pattern takes the Hands beyond the Top-of-the-Line point, up and back along an Arc that is retraced when the Hands return to the Top-of-the-Line point. This “retracing” is ideal for longitudinal acceleration with 10-19-C.
24. Power Package Release – B – Non-Auto Sweep
This procedure is identical with “A” above except that the deliberate manipulation of the Release (Non-Automatic) Trigger is delayed until some preselected point in the Downstroke is reached.
