Hand Delivery paths

[Jeff]

I am interested in learning how different golfers use different hand delivery paths.

I am particularly interested in learning how a particular golfer produces a 10-23-A straight line hand delivery path. What are the major factors that allow a golfer to acquire a straight line delivery path rather than a circle hand delivery path?

In this discussion, I would be willing to regard an angled hand delivery path (10-23-B) as being somewhat similar to a straight line delivery path - other than the fact that the hands shift planes (shallow-out) before been pulled in a straight line direction down the "straightish" section of the U-shaped handarc.

Much of this has to do with Plane Angle, Plane Angle shifts (and/or Line Shifts) and #3 accumulator angle.

I can understand there being some plane angle shifts secondary to the biomechanical process that causes the hand arc to be "straightish". However, what is the biomechanical mechanism that causes the hand arc to be straight along a portion of its arc (usually the top section)? What must a golfer do to have a section of his hand arc become straight rather than circular?

Axis tilt . . . .

I agree that axis tilt is part of the answer.

However, I think that there is a lot more involved in creating a "straightish" upper section of a hand arc.

Why does it occur in the early downswing?

I'm not really willing to go a long with the premise that it does . . .
