Mr. Mike.O. I am a fan of your posts. and i also want to join you fan club.

From my perspective it's not only the path that they take but the method that creates that path. You could pick up a ball off the ground or hit a baseball with the hands traveling on a nice plane but you could have created that motion in an un-coordinated method. In other words, you could have picked the ball off the ground by focusing on and having your intention to create a certain amount of knee flex and waist bend.

The Logic is there, but personally I would like to add what I had went through. Maybe for the benefit of people starting out or studying the book.


Justin did explain the exact logic to me. There are few fundamental hurdle.

No.1 like riding a bike, writing something, typing.. those are done subconsciously, but in order to become conscious , you have to have the correct "way" and trust them. Many abandon the "correct" way before trusting it and becoming subconscious. Thus We need incubator, coconut, and a good coach/mentor, or just stubbornly trust it . without it we lose faith and abandon the incubator.

No.2 The body , bending still need to be aligned a certain way in order to achieve a certain alignment. or follow a certain Model in TGM. Are your arm below the shoulder socket, too close to body? is your spine straight or bend down. etc.. A little of those would change Plane characteristics and loading behavior, angle of attack, visual equivalent. Not to mention we feel different Day to day .

No3 Experience and applications, There are tons of way to skin a cat. If your grip isn't correct for instance, or the flying wedge isn't correct for instance, We are not going to get the correct pressure points. Correct sequencing, different plane lines have slightly different sequence feel.

No.4 Overcoming perceptions.. 2j1,2,3, 3f5,6,7

Thats my difficulties , for someone who didn't understand much to begin with..

all pivot moves for all long shots. The difference is very little when i started to differentiate and to learn but gets more as my body understood more things. And it becomes clearer to me, that anything that involves accumulator 4 , the Pivot alignments and movement become even more important. Personally I believe, hand or pivot controlled? i believe in both. as we need zone 1 2 3 to work hand in hand.. proper alignment will yield the most consistent tendencies.

Cheers.
