Thanks for the "Southern Hospitality"...Sure helps the esteem..thank the Good Lord for "Selective Hearing/Reading"
Friends Don't let Friends go to Hell!!!
Woo!!!! I knew that would get a rise out of you! I love it when you get that fire in your eyes!
Fo' Real though. . . The motion(s) are AWESOME! Textbook stuff. You can definitely see what you were saying in an earlier post on Hinge vs. Swivel. On the Swinging motion you can see the Release Swivel of Standard Wrist Action in frame prior to impact. Then to Impact and Hinge Action. Love how the clubhead stays below your hands well into the follow through.
Is that a little Max Trigger Delay in the Hit? You can definitely see the differences in the Lauching Pad vs. Spinning the Flywheel in comparing the pivot motions.
Don't be mad a Lil' Bucket . . . he can't help it !
In his Hitting Stroke, Annikan uses a Double Shift Plane Angle Variation (10-7-C) -- a Shift from the Elbow Plane to the Turned Shoulder Plane and back again. From the Top, he uses its compatible Delivery Path, Top Arc and Angled Line (10-23-D) wherein his Hands drop vertically from the Turned Shoulder Plane to the Elbow Plane before beginning their Straight Line Drive toward the Ball. Check out the yellow dots defining the Delivery Path. Note the three vertical dots opposite the Right Shoulder and torso, and compare them against the backdrop of the frame of the mirror in the background and assure yourself that they do indeed lie in a straight line. This is the 'vertical drop' from the Turned Shoulder Plane to the Elbow Plane and aligns the Hands for their Straight Line Thrust toward the inside-aft quadrant of the Ball.
All this is 'proof positive' that the four Straight Line Delivery Paths are possible (courtesy of Downstroke Axis Tilt via Hip Slide). There are those who say that the Hands can move only in a Circle (Circle Path Delivery), a contention that would make the Straight Line Delivery Paths an impossibility and hence the catalogued Variations bogus. But then...
These are the same folk who insisted for decades that the baseball pitcher's curve ball was an optical illusion. They forgot to ask the batters!
At impact your right heel is further off the ground when swinging versus hitting. Can you explain why??
Thanks
Not Annikan, but it's a consequence of the difference between the Massive Rotor and Launching Pad. I doubt it was a position he strived to achieve in itself.

Yes, but if the Straight Line portion of the Delivery Path was that short (only the length of those three dots joined up), this implies a much bigger curved portion of the path, i.e. a big pulley for a Random Sweep Release. Annikan's Release clearly occurs well past those three dots. Further evidence, which unfortunately we do not have here, is that Hand Speed continues to increase right until Release. I would presume the Hands have not reached their maximum speed after the last of those three dots, hence that cannot be the end of the 'Straight' Line Delivery Path.
Here's one of my student's...Melanie Granville...still need work on the Rhythm of Hinging her grip is more 3 knuckles than two..not a 10-2-B or D....in between....1/2 turned?
One lesson a week for the past 9 months!!! She's playing at ECU next fall,prayerfully!!!!
