Help!!!! . . . What is "flick" . . "flicking" 10-19
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS FLICK . . . THE ONLY THING I CAN RELATE IT TO IS BOOGERS . . . SOMEBODY HOLLA . . .
HITTING OR SWINGING
10-19-0 GENERAL Lag Loading (Clubhead Feel) is classified according to difference in the procedures for accelerating the Secondary Lever Assembly (the Club). That is – Radially or Longitudinally – which are mutually exclusive. That is – both cannot be applied at the same time. All of which, also determines the nature of their execution – that is, Drive the one (10-19-A), Drag the other (10-19-C) or Flick either one (10-19-B) into Release. Study 7-3. This affects the Feel and emphasis of the entire motion. Especially Clubhead Lag Pressure Point participation. All must comply with the Law of the Flail in 2-K.
Drive Loading tends toward minimum Lag (the short (Compact) Stroke) – meaning contracted muscles (muscle pull). Drag Loading tends toward maximum Lag (the full (Long) Stroke) – meaning stretched muscles (tendon pull). Float Loading can be either one. See 7-20. And study 2-J-3 for Delivery Line procedures.
The above characteristics apply to Strokes of any length. If you cannot handle both Short and Full Shots with the same Lag Loading procedure, you really do not understanding Hitting or Swinging. Master first the Short Shots – where you have time for careful Monitoring per 3-F-6. Two Procedures - presented in 6-B-1-D – will help reduce excessive Arm Motion in the search for the Feel of Lag Pressure. For Hitters – substituting Extensor Action for Acceleration in both directions. For Swingers – the “Bending Right Wrist” and/or “Extensor Action Takeaway” will – more or less, as desired – snap the Clubshaft into its In-Line condition (with Left Arm) with little or no Arm Motion except what results (intentionally) from Clubhead momentum. Then use a normal Flat Left Wrist Downstroke per Pattern for both procedures – distinctly 12-1 OR 12-2. That is PUSH or PULL.
Hinge Action does NOT differentiate Hitting and Swinging. All are interchangeable – with reservations. Hitters using Horizontal Hinging must consciously resist the tendency of the Right Arm Paddlewheel Action toward Angled Hinging. Swingers using Angled Hinging must consciously resist the tendency of Centrifugal Force toward Horizontal Hinging. Both procedures require skill in Clubface manipulation per 7-2.
5. PG 192, 10-19-0, paragraph 4, last line - add "Clubface Manipulation for Swinging requires the same Grip Type as for Hitters (10-2-B) because 10-2-G offers no such precision.
13. PG 192, 10-19-0 number and caption, wrong type.
HITTING
10-19-A DRIVE LOADING Drive Loading is the “Axe Handle” technique of the “Hitter” – an out-and-out Right Arm Thrust against Clubhead Lag (Angular Inertia) striving to accelerate (radially) a Pre-stressed (Bent) Clubhshaft, from a slow Start Down through Impact. Per 7-19-1. See 2-N.
All Short Shots can be short, strong Strokes, eliminating all unnecessary motion by using only the one Accumulator (until greater distance is needed). But always –PUSH a lagging Clubhead through Impact.
Clubhead Throwaway here is due usually to over-acceleration. Use shorter Strokes and/or lower Thrust. The Stroke can be shortened per 10-15-B or by taking advantage of the fact that the Backstroke will stop when the Right Elbow becomes fully bent.
HIT OR SWING
10-19-B DOWNSTROKE (OR FLOAT) LOADING This procedure delays the Wristcock until the Start Down and completes it as specified by the Stroke Pattern Assembly Point Component. “Float Loading” also describes this procedure – especially the sensations, because the Cocking motion should not be at all sharp, but gentle, or even lazy. With a “Frozen Wrist” procedure (10-3-K) the Downstroke Cocking Action is limited to increasing the Right Elbow Bend only.
Assembly, Loading and Release are usually accomplished simulataneously, then with a Flicking action – automatic or non-automatic – continues as either Drive or Drag Loading, designating it as either 19-B/A or 19-B/C. And use corresponding Short Shot recommendations.
Downstroke Loading (7-19-2) must set up either Radial Acceleration per 10-19-A or Longitudinal Acceleration per 10-19-C for the corresponding Release procedure.
Quitting and/or collapse of the Wrist alignments and structure need special attention here for Clubhead Throwaway prevention.
