Bagger hollering from the wiring closet.

What happens to the paddlewheel when you hit the corner and when should you pull the trigger?

Read the second paragraphs of 7-18 and 7-20 as they relate to small pulleys...

7-18 . . .

Then understanding and executing the Left Wrist Action per 2-N-1, synchronizes the entire procedure. Trigger Delay alters little geometrical but magnifies the physics. The Paddlewheel Action of the straightening Right Elbow (10-10-C) initiates and sustains the #3 Accumulator Hand Motion (4-D-0) unit the Both-Arms-Straight and Zero Accumulator #3 position of Full Extension – but, of course, under the guidance of the Flat, Vertical Left Wrist Hinge Action (2-G). Accumulator #3 Action is not Lever Assembly Extension. See 2-P. With the Endless Belt Effect, The Belt (Hands) and the Clubhead have the RPM but the Surface factor sets in and gives the Clubhead greater MPH – in reverse proportion to the size of the Pulley (the smaller, the faster). That is, raised Hand Position – reducing the Accumulator #3 Travel –plus Trigger Delay. Conversely – a larger Pulley (lowered Hands) requires a higher Handspeed and an earlier Trigger. See 6-B-3-A, 6-F and 6-N-0.

smoothly, steadily with no change in the straightening or the Paddlewheel rate of Clubface Closing as set up AT RELEASE. Variations in Trigger Delay are possible ONLY beacuse the Cocked Left Wrist allows the Right Elbow to straighten faster than the Left Arm would otherwise allow (6-B-1) and the greater the Delay the more rapid the Paddlewheel Action and the more Swivel-like it becomes without increasing the actual Endless Belt speed of the Left Hand."

7-20 . . .

The term “Trigger” is used to denote that action which initiates the Release of the Power Package Assembly of Power Accumulators (6-B) to develop and apply force to the ball. It is the lengthening of the third side of the Triangle Assembly which moves the Lever Assemblies toward and through Impact per Pattern. See 6-M-0.

The procedures are termed “Throws” wither they “throw” or are “thrown.” They may be used individually or in combinations. The standard combinations are listed only in Chapter 11-20. Trigger Types are selected according to Release Type and Release Point as defined in 10-20 and 10-24 – that is, Sweep with Sweep, Snap with Snap, etc. For Hitters that means that Triggering (7-20), Assembly (7-21), Loading (7-22), Delivery (7-23) and Release (7-24) require an active Right Elbow and an inactive Left Wrist. For Swingers – vice versa. Study 6-C-2-A, 7-3 and 10-3-K. Remember – an “Active Right Arm” can be Monitored ONLY through awareness of an “Active Right Elbow.” Study 2-G regarding the Swivel and Rhythm. Maximum Trigger Delay noticeably restricts maximum Handspeed (6-N-0). Every Player has a maximum Handspeed and no amount of violent effort will change it much. However, that violent effort per 7-19, cause the Clubhead to fly out into its own orbit prematurely with typical Throwaway results.
WITH THE FLAT LEFT WRIST IN LINE WITH THE RIGHT FOREARM (7-2-3) THE #3 ACCUMULATOR "CLOSES" ONLY AS THE STRAIGHTENING RIGHT ELBOW - ACTIVE OR PASSIVE - PROVIDES THE BASIC PADDLEWHEEL MOTION FOR THE LEFT ARM FLYING WEDGE (6-B-3-0-1) AND FOR THE HAND MOTION PER 4-D-0. THIS IS THE TRUE "OVERTAKING" ACTION (6-F) OF THE LAGGING CLUBHEAD AS DIFFERENTIATED FROM LEVER ASSEMBLY EXTENSION IN 2-P. SO WITH DOWNSTROKE WAGGLES, VERIFY - THROUGH THE HANDS ONLY - THAT THE RIGHT ELBOW WILL BE ON PLANE BEFORE TRIGGERING TO ASSURE ACCURATE TRACING (5-0) FOR THE FOLLOW-THROUGH. ESPECIALLY WITH DELAYED RELEASE THIS WILL ROTATE THE LEFT HAND IN A SWIVELLING ACTION AS REQUIRED FOR RHYTHM (2-C-0, 2-G, 6-J-O).

Let me read on these a lil' bit and I'll holla back.

Another thought on your first question though . . . as a general rule more #3 Angle requires GREATER handspeed.

Lunch break.
I can't leave you hang'in and I've got to move on.

Let me leave you with this and feel free to poke holes -

The smaller the pulley and greater the release trigger delay, the faster the right elbow must straighten (#3 paddlewheel motion). So the hands may be moving slow around the corner of a small pulley, but that right elbow is straightening fairly fast as it helps turn the paddlewheel of accumulator #3 roll. It is a motion, not an action but the structure needs to be there through extensor action in order to accomodate the paddlewheel motion. The right arm is always trying to straighten. Not driving otherwise it automatically turns into Angled Hinging. It keeps an even, steady overtaking rate. The point I'm trying to make is that the right elbow must straighten faster with a smaller pulley than with a larger pulley.

That snap release, horizontal hinge can feel like a full roll swivel through impact. The RPM of clubface closing is faster with a small pulley than with a big pulley. Left wrist is in charge of hinge action, right elbow is in charge of RPM roll via the paddlewheel. None of this effects handspeed around the belt! We don't have to worry about this because centrifugal throw out action automatically lines everything up anyway. I'm just highlighting how the pieces come together around the corner of the belt.

Your observations on #3 angle at set up are what I was thinking as well. Must differentiate between left wrist cock at address vs. #3 angle as defined by where the clubshaft rests on the left hand heel pad.

For that matter, it's impact fix position that really matters because address is between impact fix and backstroke loading anyway.

It's been a wild ride Brutha, but fun! :)

This is a very important concept that differentiates swivel, from hinge action.

A great drill - go to release point and slowly practice straightening the right arm through to both arms straight.

Next trying it with 'low' hands vs 'high' hands.

You can take 'low' hands deeper before release, but you pay the price in the increased precision requirements in your Rhythm due to increased accumulator overlap. The key reason that sweep release is easier to control distances with IMO.

I think you got it licked! Very nice and astute post!

And how about this gem that ties up what we started this whole deal about from the sections you suggested . ..

Maximum Trigger Delay noticeably restricts maximum Handspeed (6-N-0). Every Player has a maximum Handspeed and no amount of violent effort will change it much. However, that violent effort per 7-19, cause the Clubhead to fly out into its own orbit prematurely with typical Throwaway results.


Summary . . . take the Right Hand Karate Chop down and through the Aiming Point like there will be no release at all . . . but keep the wrist soft so as not to disturb the Throw Out . . . do not ever Overaccelerate based on the above.

Have we done a nice job or what?

Enjoy it while it lasts.

There's a bunch of racket coming from MikeO's cellar.
He LOVE's the Paddlewheel talk.

Ed,

Very intriguing!
Can you expand on this?
Maybe add it to the drills section.

Thanks,

Nothing to say
