I think everyone agrees that there is a 'throw-out' action, #2 accumulator. I agree with the Throw-out action because in one of my Previous Lives, I was a Chinese Peasant who spent a lifetime beating Rice out of their Stalks with a flail (the nightmares still haunt me, my boss was sooo demanding). So I know a little about 'throw-out' and it has occurred on one or more occasions when I've held a Golf Club in my uneducated hands.

So? Is this thread about the cause of the 'throw-out'? If I'm hanging on to the club, and my body is rotating and me and the clubhead are being acted on by centrifugal/centripetal forces, then where else is the clubhead going to go?

Also, if we keep Calling it Centrifugal Force, and someday we discover that CF is not real, will we only be able to drive the ball 50 yards? I'm not willing to take that risk.

MAGNETISM?

CENTRIPETAL FORCE?

ANY OTHERS?

The Golf Gods are real. They represent a real force. I know because they don't like me.

Gravity: Pulls the ball back to Earth after 180 yards. Without it the ball will go 285 yards like on the PGA because they stop gravity for tournaments.

Inertia: It’s what you feel when you have a cart buddy that doesn’t drive very well.

Momentum: Is what you need to get up a steep hill on a battery operated golf cart.

Magnetism: That is why balls turn right and land in the water. They are being pulled in by the Golf Gods.

Centripetal Force: That’s Spanish for Centrifugal Force. The force that POWERS the Golf swing.

LOL.

He can run...
This yahoo tried this same thread on my site.

He made a comment about Lag not being real.

I STOPPED HIM COLD WITH THIS ONE:

"At Address, take your right thumb off of the club, point it at the target, UN-hook your right forefinger and let it DANGLE—slightly off of the club, then hit a full driver at 100+mph.

(if you can)

Why doesn't the driver FLY out of the right hand for a decent player?

Don't hurt yourself, the answer isn't in any book (except the yellow one...implied)."

BTW, dude, Mathew can knock this one out of the park!

You'll get called out on strikes without swinging.
