6-C-2-B ANGULAR ACCELERATION The Clubhead “overtaking” speed is governed by the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum whereby the increased Mass resulting from any extension of the Swing Radius decelerates the hands and unless they are supported by Power Package Thrust (6-B-1) or Throw Out Action (2-K), can result in great loss of Clubhead Speed. Rely on Clubhead Lag to meter out the necessary support for the Primary Lever Assembly. Strictly speaking, any increase in the product of Mass times Velocity is Acceleration whether or not the Speed is changed. But the formula for Kinetic Energy gives Velocity the greater value. And, actually, the acceptable tolerance in the Ball-to-Clubhead weight ratio is quite small.

Ben Doyle practices - what I can only describe as - Hip Action to Thrust the Power Package to Overcome COAM.

This Hip Action occurs at the end of the Sit Down. He can feel the increased Drag on the Power Package when the Clubhead begins to throwout into its own orbit and the Power Package slows. He uses a hard turn with his Left Hip to prevent the Hands from slowing during the Release Interval.

This procedure adds Mass to the Clubhead. So,its an Accelerating Force.

Move into the Sit down fairly quickly from the Top of the Swing to establish a greater amount of Left Hip/Left Shoulder Tension. As COAM occurs (or as the Power Package slows because of the Sit-down), an easing of the tension will be felt; and at this point, only by accelerating the Hip Turn, can you sustain the original Tension.

In other words, he sets up the Action with a Quick Start-down with very dead hands.

One way to learn this, is to position your Hands and Club at your Release Point - with your Hips Square to the Target Line - stay there motionless for a second - then, using Dead Hands, power the Power Package through Impact using only a Hip Turn. As that motion gets perfected, move to longer Strokes.

Good Luck.......
