Release of power accumulator 3

You state that-: "The left wrist is fully released when its uncocked which is not the same thing as level."

I don't understand this point. Are you stating that the endpoint of PA#2 release is a fully uncocked left wrist rather than uncocking to a level left wrist position? It is my understanding that the left wrist at impact should be level - if correct, are you implying that PA#2 has not completely released by impact?

Bucket,
Bulldog posted #500- check it out- I definitely think he's ready- send the jacket in the overnight mail! Better start the paperwork early- this could be a serious case. Oh, by the way, can you go up to floor five, the east wing, they are complaining up there that Jeff won't stop walking the halls and talking to himself! No one is sleeping and it's getting serious. Then come to my office - we've got some potential serious legal issues with you and some of the nurses.

Thanks for keeping tally . I have been hibernating (deep incubation state) for a while now and the drugs have worn off . Time to next 500 posts will be much faster now!

Remeber - Straight-jackets do not stop those who type with their toes from posting - unless it is the full-length version with individual toe restraints...that would probably be a problem....

Jeff my problem before seeing Lynn was "holding on", as Ben Doyle said "avoiding the motion". I stopped uncocking when the wrist was level. This was aiding by the release of accum #3 too soon which decreased club head speed. Video showed just a slight flip after impact. Lynn uncocking the left wrist by throwing the club directly down into the ground really registerd. Translating that to the inclined plane gave me more distance. Now I work on uncocking beyond line of sight, rolling on the plane line to both arms straight. I make sure my THRUST continues to be down after impact to both arms straight. Impact swivel seems to be automatic. So all is left is to work on hinging. The early initiation of accumulator 3 seems to take away the down from the stroke. The downward thrust after impact seem to me to be more related to completely uncocking.

Personally I think it is silly to make a fuss about a mere 500 posts...but congrats anyway!

No wonder you hit it so far

I never realized till now that post impact was so important. My failure to release properly has resulted in stiffness and tightness on my right side(I'm left handed). So to finish better and easier I am working on stretching to finish doing stuff to release my right lateral band and other fascias that are holding me back. In a recent clinic at my course Gary Player stressed the importance of the FINISH.! It was his number one thing. Therefore what happens after impact is quite important. So I'm working on impact to follow thru(Acquired motion drill) and total motion trying to "catch the dog by the tail" as I get to finish. Most of my dogs run away. Then all you can do is yell at the ball. Since I'm told balls are female I have a chance - I am a retired gyn and made a career of talking to em.

Jeff,
2 is released when its uncocked. I would say it would be fully released after lowpoint before follow through.

I'm starting to understand how under-rated "intention" is in the golf swing. So many things that occur post-impact influence what happens pre-impact.

I'm discovering post-impact swing thoughts (that I had never considered) which are helping me with attaining good pre-impact alignments.

Not just #2, but 1,3,4 as well, I believe. The power accumulators are not in their in line condition (fully spent) until both arms straight. To fully discharge them prior to impact is to have nothing left for the ball. This isnt to say that all pro's go all the way down plane with their #2. No Sir. Perhaps only a few, perhaps only the very best.
