sequenced release and 10-18
 

swinging requires sequenced release of accumulators #2 then #3 per tgm. that requires a 10-18-B wrist action. The left wrist is bent for a 10-18-B wrist action. 10-18-A, which maintains a flat left wrist, seems to require symultaneous release to stay on plane, other than with a Zero accumulator #3, how can #2 accumulator be released on plane with a flat left wrist?

The On-Plane Sequenced Release may seem incongruous. Some of the incongruity stems from faulty application and some in perspective.

Sequencing the Release:

The Left Arm “Blast Off” the Chest begins the Clubhead Throw-out. It also begins the Straightening of the Right Arm. Clubhead Throw-out, then Right Arm Straightening. Sequenced Release. These separate procedures occur almost immediately and Uncocking and Rolling continue simultaneously until the Follow-through.

Rolling On-Plane: The #3 Accumulator

The Right Hand doesn’t Roll over counterclockwise during Release. That’s for Tennis Players. Get a bucket with handle filled with water. Hold the handle with a Bent Right Wrist and move it from Release to Low Point while keeping the water level in the bucket. That’s the Paddlewheel Motion of the Right Forearm Wedge. The Right Hand Rotates around its Axis Vertical to the Horizontal Plane. Trace the Plane Line.

Left Wrist Uncocking: #2 Accumulator

The Left Wrist is Fully Cocked at Release, Level at Impact and Fully Uncocked at Follow-through. The Left Wrist Uncocks on the Plane of the Left Arm Wedge for both 10-18-A and 10-18-B.

The Left Shoulder is the center of the radius of the Primary Lever. Keep the Primary Lever Straight by using a 10-2-B grip and a Flat Left Wrist. The #3 Accumulator works as intended when you maintain the Left Arm Wedge because the center of gravity of the Clubhead remains On-Plane. You must coordinate/reconcile the Clubshaft Uncocking On the Plane of the Left Arm Wedge and the Swing Plane.

Great post Daryl, that seems to have clicked for me swinging in my appartment, can't wait to try that on the practice tee !

Darly can you post some kind of picture with the bucket and handle maneuver?

Can it be the pivot getting ahead of the hands? Stopping the down plane drag of the shaft at about right forearm level the shoulders turned back (right upplane) as it came down, the shaft can be slid away from the body and the left wrist becomes flatter? Keeping the arms and thereby the hands more in front? I do sometimes get the pivot sensation that I have to wait for my hands then get a little restart??? Or the right fielder can be busy. More of not getting the face over to square. With an angled hinge I never see this type of problem because the face is aligned much earlier??

Bear,

The waiting with the pivot is a compensation. Probably because you need to wait to square up the club face. But it shouldn't be necessary.

The pivot will perhaps slow down due to geometrical requirements and the overtaking, but it shouldn't feel as waiting. More like going into 5th gear.

I don't know all the possible causes to this problem. But my cure is to keep the right shoulder high and hands forward at address.

Same here Daryl. Think I know what you mean but would love to see a pic.

BerntR, That, going into 5th gear may be a very accurate feel. I said wait because it feels as a reducing effort then a "kick" to get the sequence right.

Ok...Allow me to say something about the Swivel. Please "Bear" with me.

First, keep in mind that we use "Dead Hands". The Hands are Clamps.

Second, a Swivel is the Rotation of the Clubface around the Longitudinal Axis of the Sweetspot Plane.

My interpretation of the Swivel is as follows.

The Pitched Elbow creates the Swivel during the Backstroke and the Unbending (straightening of the Right Arm) creates the Pre-Impact Swivel during Release.

1. Hold a Golfclub in your Right Hand and align the Right Forearm Flying Wedge.
2. Start to make a Backstroke and stop when the Shaft is parallel to the Base line of the Inclined Plane.
3. Look at the Clubface.
4. While keeping the Shaft Parallel to the Base Line, bend and unbend your Right Elbow. Notice how the Face of the Clubhead lays against the Inclined Plane as you bend your Elbow and that it becomes once again Vertical to the ground as you unbend your Right Elbow.

Although the Swivel is controlled by the Right Elbow, one should not Bend the Right Elbow or Unbend the Right Elbow. The Bending and Straightening of the Right Elbow is a response to the Check-rein Action of the Left Arm. This way the Rate of Closing and Swivel is controlled and Ball Location can be moved Forward or Aft with predictable results. You see, when you move the Ball Aft to produce a Fade, although the Clubface was open at Separation relative to the Plane Line, the Face become fully Swiveled to Vertical for Impact and one can sustain the line of compression for Horizontal Hinging. So it also goes when Drawing the Ball.

This Swivel is the Rotational Alignment Relationship of the Clubface to the Basic Plane that the Right Forearm Wedge Rotation is associated to (i.e. will Rotate around). In this case, it's the Horizontal Plane (ground).

From here, it becomes more technical so I'll save that if this discussion moves toward Closing Rates of the #3 Accumulator for Sweep vs Snap Releases. Etc.

Anyway, I could be misinterpreting the whole thing.

Daryl,

If I recall you had another major post on the svivel. Partly pre impact and partly post impact. Really interesting stuff, IMO. I think one of the big issues in the golf stroke is to be able to produce speed while approaching inmpact with the club face square.

I am speculating here so take this as a suggestion. I don't think the swiwel is controlled by the right hand / forearm / elbow. There's more to it. If you get the right rotation initially to a somewhat arched left hand alignment, pp #1 & #3 pressure will trigger a swivel. But if the the left hand is bent or flat, anything that reminds of driveloading will prevent the swivel. IMO, this is one of the reasons you can't driveload from the top if you rotate pp#3. If you stay away from driveloading, however - and do your thing :laughing9, accumulator #3 release there will be no swivel resistance and an educated left hand will take care of it bu simply knowing it's impact alignment.

It is easy to see in a lot of good golfers how they arch their left hand in good time before impact. Most of those who do it, do it in the middle of the down swing. Then you have Dustin Johnson and a few others who does it from the top. I think those who do that, driveload the primary assembly lever.
