Bending the Plane
Quote:
4-D-0 RELEASE MOTIONS This term refers to the Release of Accumulators #2 and #3. So it is not a Pattern Component in itself. Normally, it can only be either Simultaneous (Hitting) or Sequenced (Swinging) per 10-11-0-2 and 10-11-0-3. “Uncocking” (4-B-3) and “Roll” (4-C-3) are two separate motions: 1) Wrist Motion and 2) Hand Motion – coordinate but very independent (4-0). Their execution is not a haphazard amalgamation (10-10-C and D). Normally, Uncocking is a function of the Wrists actuating the Clubhead (4-B). See 5-0 and 7-11. It has nothing to do with Clubface alignment at Impact – that is the function of the Hands, executing a Clubface Motion (4-C) – Accumulator #3 (2-G). Whenever the Wrist Motion (instead of Hand Motion) throws the Clubface at the ball, there will be Steering and Clubhead Throwaway. See 2-P. The Hitter concentrates on Hand Motion, while the Swinger concentrates on Wrist Motion. Both halves of each Release Action can be either Automatic (normally) or Non-Automatic (per Pattern). Study 6-E. So each must be consciously differentiated during execution.

Normally, only Swingers with their Standard Wrist Action (10-18-A) “Swivel” – that is, actually rotate the Left Wrist – through the Release into its Vertical Position for Impact. That must be pre-programmed not later than The Top per 8-6. Have a clear picture of the intended Impact Hand Position all the way down – NOT the process of achieving it. But all players must “Swivel” – actually rotate their Wrists – into the “parallel to the Plane” position for the Finish (8-12) after the Follow-through.

It is mandatory that there is no break or bend in the Delivery Line direction during either half of the Release Motion. Both halves, as well as, the Release and Finish Roll (2-G), must be executed on the same Delivery Line (2-J-3) – On Line or Cross Line, but not both. Construct an Inclined Plane such as shown in 10-5, or find a low bench, fence rail – or anything providing the Clubshaft with a straight edge or flat surface – and swing the Clubshaft back and forth along that edge or surface while executing the above Wrist and Hand Motions until you thoroughly understand their relation to 10-5. Study 2-N very carefully. That is why item 12-3-22 is capitalized. Study 3-F-6.

Remember a flat plane has a straight baseline. A circle is two dimensional and can lie on a flat plane. If the Plane Line loses it straightness the Clubhead Orbit becomes three dimensional and precision vanishes.
Just some illustrations to review. I'm sure there are many ways to bend the Plane Line.

These are not illustrations of the Left Arm and Clubshaft at Impact. The Top two Illustrations assume that the Delivery and Plane lines are the same.




The Above picture intends to illustrate what happens when Swinging on the Elbow Plane with a Flat Left Wrist, Uncocks on the Plane of the Left Arm Wedge, but then needs to Roll to another Delivery Line for Impact.

WOW, it's too early in the morning, the incubator needs some coffee...

I have a feeling when I wake up this post is going to be VERY enlightening!

Thanks Daryl.

Kevin

I'm waking up, finally, just in time to leave for work.

Daryl, why do you say these alignments are NOT at impact? How and why would they change?

You are on a roll this morning, lovin your plane posts. I'll look forward to studying this stuff more tonight.

Thanks again,
Kevin

Daryl,

Looking at the pics again, where you say bent and flat left wrist, should it read cocked and level instead?

This better explains what I'm trying to say. The Left Wrist is Level and Flat at Impact for Both Procedures.

TGM's Turned Shoulder Plane requires a Release Swivel for the Left Wrist to return to vertical for Impact if the Sweetspot was swiveled to Plane at Start-up. We have ultimate control of the Clubshaft on a Turned Shoulder Plane with the Flat Left Wrist and full use of the #2 and 3 Accumulators. The Right Hand controls the Clubhead on every swing plane but it won't do it at the expense of the Left Arm Wedge when on the Turned Shoulder Plane.

The Elbow Plane needs the "Hogan Swivel" to change from a Bent Left Wrist to a Flat Left Wrist for Impact. I don't consider it a True Sequenced Release because all it does is spin the shaft around it's axis. It's like a Ball and Socket Swivel and can accommodate any plane angle with a lost Left Arm Wedge.

The Hogan Swivel needs to be Stopped to prevent over swiveling at or before Impact otherwise timing needs to be perfect. I think that this can be done in two ways. First, slam the wrist into an arched position after Uncocking so that the Left Wrist can be held vertical for Impact. Second, use pivot force to overcome the swivel as the left wrist becomes vertical. Arching doesn't need such a driving pivot and my experiments show that it doesn't have the timing issues either. Also, the driving pivot method, which is being talked about (force will create alignments), doesn't lend much confidence when face with a delicate 30 yard pitch shot.

If you Bend (Cup) the Left Wrist even only slightly, it is Bent and will require the Hogan Type swivel to prevent bending the Delivery Line.

Basic questions about "bending the plane"
I have MANY questions and comments but I will start one at a time:
Considering the following: For swinging,
2-F. "The right forearm of every Hacker comes into impact too high."
Trace the plane line.
The RFFW -needs to be maintained and laying on the plane.
The full pivot stroke contains the basic motion.
Impact fix still retains #2 and #3 accululator "action"
As I understand it- #2 is triggered first because the shaft is on the plane and #2 continues to be released until end #3 exists as long as some #2 remains but #3 can not trigger until left hand starts to be rotated to vertical then with precision #2 and #3 work together to keep th shaft on plane too impact , low point, end.
Now -- how can this be accomplished other than on an elbow plane?
