Pure would not Austin still have snapped the kinetic chain...whatever that is
His right hand may have been driving/accelerating baton twirling but would not the left arm slow down at release?
How does the Caesar of Rome snap his kinetic chain?
The Caésar of Burning Rome would have us believe the rock gets thrown because the hands slow down.
I believe the rock gets thrown because we let it go.
What causes the hands to slow is an inability of the human motor to generate the required force. The required force (to the keep the hands moving fast) as the club releases, begins to increase. The club is pushing back on the hands.
Some golfers foolishly follow their instructors' advice and intentionally try to slow their hands. I'm saying the dynamics are such that hand slowing can/does occur and that is does not mean momentum is being transferred in the convention (impact) sense. It simply means there's not enough horsepower available to keep them moving at the same speed. The cg of the club has moved away the center of rotation and therefore inertia has increases... more torque is needed... more horsepower.

Well- you implied and always bring him up. I don't traffic his web site for over 2 yrs now. I have read posts of yours on fgi and other forums praising him as the one AI who knows it all (and beyond.)

I never said he knew it all but I thought he knew enough. That was before I knew what he was trying to do. I thought he was an ok dude? I was wrong and I admit it. Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice shame on me.
