Had to use a Hammer today
 

Single Wrist Action: Uncocking occurs in a Vertical Plane of Motion? My interpretation is that the Clubhead goes up and down like a Hammering a nail into he floor. Is that the correct interpretation?

Hitters use this Procedure, right?

If it is true, then does Uncocking on a Vertical Plane add to Impact Clubhead Velocity? Forward Velocity?

But on an Inclined Plane. The LFFW is said to the Plane of the Wrist Cock and Uncock a vertical plane. Vertical Left hand motion but when the left wrist is turned its not vertical in a vertical to the ground sense anymore.

Is this some sort of trap? They would if they themselves actually existed outside of theoretical conjecture. Sort of like the Little People. Swingers cock their left wrists too dont they? I cant remember anymore.


I dont have my book with me isnt #2 uncocking "Velocity Power" or some such thing. Geometrically it provides the often missing dimension of DOWN, which on an Inclined Plane means OUT as well (from a DTL point of view you cant go down without going out eh?) . Done Non Automatically from the left wrist, a Left Wrist Throw, its more of a Swingers Procedure. With the Left Hand turned to the Inclined Plane.

Going back the Right Forearm pickup, Right Elbow bending, cocks the left wrist with some help from CF to varying degrees. Going down you have options.

I understand that. Swingers Uncock on the inclined plane along the LAFW.


Set a Trap? Who? Me? No.

O.B., do you, when you're Hitting, do you, yourself, Uncock on a Vertical to the Ground Plane or angled like the inclined Plane? Up and down or Angled?

If you don't Uncock Vertical to the Ground, then, do any Hitters do it that way?

I ask because I always thought that Hitters Uncocked Up and down, vertical to the ground, which seemed so odd to me that I've always stayed with Swinging.

I always thought that Single Wrist Action was "Holding the Left Wrist Vertical to the Ground". Am I interpreting that wrong? Have I for all these years?

I've only recently figured out the TGM Swivel, which means to go from a "Vertical Left Wrist" to an "On Plane Left Wrist"....1/8 rotation depending an Plane Angle. It's a little embarrassing to admit.

steep planes
 

(Not O.B.) But, when I Hit, I use an inclined Plane. Even when I use the Angle of Approach Procedure, it's still operating on an inclined Plane. It's very steep, but it's still no Ferris wheel.

Does anyone use a Vertical Hammering Motion, vertical to the ground?

different sport
 

Yes. Those playing croquet use a vertical plane.

So vertical left hand cocking, hand motion, when done on a vertical plane would be vertical to the ground in terms of the cocking direction. Vertical left hand cocking done on a horizontal plane would be horizontal to the ground. But either way its a vertical left hand cocking (hand motion) in the direction of the Plane you are traveling which for us almost always an Inclined Plane, golf being a side on game.

Right hand motion on the other hand is Horizontal, only. The Plane of the Right Hand Bend, the RFFW. Weird but wonderful. How did Homer ever figure that one out? So contrary to what you'd think at first glance or after 30 years of glancing even. Most of us imagining both hands cocking vertically, together.

Six hours research. I found an explanation of Single and Standard Wrist Action that makes the concept Clear to me.

Here's what I think.

So, the simple act of Turning (Single Wrist Action) only opens the Clubface. The cause of the Slow Rotation of the Wedges to the Top of the Swing is RIGHT ELBOW BENDING. I know what all of the swingers are thinking. It's primitive, and lacks gracefulness. It's a clumsy, almost a neanderthal type movement like banging on an animal carcass with a bone.

SWINGERS, bend their Elbows and Swivel during Start-up and allow the Pivots Rotation to carry that alignment the length of the Backstroke. It's artistic and athletic.


Does this mean that "TOP" is not a location on the way to "END" but a different "PATH"?

I read from a reliable source, that it took Homer 15 years to discover that the Flat Left Wrist was the #1 Alignment.

Who is discussing things here D? Is it you and Yoda?

I dont have my book with me but somewhere in it I believe Homers alludes to both Single and Standard wrist action arriving at the same position at Top. Despite the difference in when the Left Hand is Turned or Turns to Plane.

Either way its a Right Forearm Takeaway assuming you're a TGM adherent. Why the heck do you guys try to use your airy fairy little golfers flail on the backswing anyways. OH are you a LEFTIST?

This message is brought to you by the Canadian Liberal Hitters Party or Canada. The CLHPOC. (Noth'n burns a Bears Fan like being called a Leftist)

I'm going to write each of your members a letter. Who's the other guy? :eh:

There's another guy?

So the club cocks on plane right D? Do you buy it on the downswing too then?

"Sustain the Thrust", STT, our motto.

I always thought so. It was Hitting that had confused me.

I think Homer said something to the effect of . . .the club comes down on the inclined plane but once it reaches the impact interval the uncocking is essentially vertical due to the wrist being "swiveled" into it's vertical alignment . . . but it FOR SURE AIN'T vertical prior to the point that the wrist is swiveled into its vertical condition.

If the left wrist got to vertical too early, wouldn't #3 have released prior to #2? Not good... :thumbdown

Why "TOP" position? What's the significance of "Top"? Why can't the Swinger use Single wrist action to bring horizontal hinging to "End" position. I must be missing something simple.

That's just a Non-automatic release. Any non-automatic works because it takes the normal 2-3 out of sequence.

The Three Stations by definition are Address, Top and Finish. End is just some extra gravy on the potatoes for those who like it.

When I was at the practice tee of the 2008 Masters I was really struck by how many of the pros stopped at Top for an Iron shot. They went to End with the drivers maybe. I think most amateurs take it too far back for an iron shot, even a long iron. You really dont need that extra travel up there. It gives you a little Delivery Path Hand "arc" up there between Top and End too as the hands go past the point where they can travel a relatively straight line back to the aiming point.

Combining the advantages of stopping at Top with Homers advice to sustain the rate of acceleration with steady, smooth acceleration makes G.O.L.F. much more manageable, consistent and easy. And not at the expense of power either given a small pulley wheel. Weird but wonderful, again.

Ok, but what I was getting at is that maybe Single wrist action cannot travel to end? If you try, maybe it gets bent out of shape or something??

Dont think so. Going to End would move the pp #3 down into the knuckle, add an Arc to the Delivery Path between Top and End, necessitate some Lag or Float Loading. Although these variations are more 12-2 than 12-1 you can still be Hitting and do those things. There is some mid ground in the Hit/Swing spectrum. Although 12-1 kept things quite distinct from 12-2.

I don't think it actually works like that . . . you got "released" and "releasING". Obviously the sequence is 4-1-2-3 . . . HOWEVER it doesn't mean that each accumulator is released fully before the next one fires . . . 4 starts to go first in the chain but she don't go all the way to in-line at impact or the primary lever assembly wouldn't lean on the ball.

But I think the point Mr. Kelley was trying to make was/is . . . the wrist conditions are Flat Level Vertical at Impact right . . . so once the wrist reaches it's vertical condition . . then #2 is pretty much uncocking vertical at that point . . . if you never got your wrist back to vertical you be uncocking the hosel at the ball. {Now that deal make work a bit different with a 10-2-D grip because essentially Turned is vertical there.) Try the motion really slow from say club at say toe up in the release . . . swivel the wrist into its vertical alignment from there . . the plane of the uncocking is dang close to the vertical hammering motion (as #4 continues to release, pivot goes forward, and #3 continues to go).

Makes complete sense, thanks Bucket!

i recently changed my mind on the uncock and roll thought that i had always used. i use to uncock and roll at the samle time. i now uncock, uncock, uncock, uncock, then roll. in fact i do not think about the roll, it just happens. the nail i hit on the downswing is a nail that would be on a wall that i would lean against with my left shoulder. i hope that is clear to you. your question is great.

That's a great description of Uncock and Swivel. If you can do that, then you can roll on any of the three planes at will.
