Learning Zone 1

[HungryBear]

Zone 1 leads Zone 2 and 3. So Zone 1 imperfections will show up in impact. The slightest difference in Zone 1 will stifle clubhead speed or affect the path of your hands. It's important that the Hands using the #3 PP Aim at the Ball or Aiming Point and make the Pivot comply with those alignments. Once your Pivot is functioning, I think it's easier to select variations for Zone 2 and 3.

Just my opinion, but, that is A great dichotomy of the golf stroke.

The hands direct the pivot. BUT the hands can't directly tell the pivot how to move. (I think they tell the pivot WHEN to move but not how to move)Have to change what the pivot does to the hands then the hands approve or disapprove of the pivot.

The pivot can/should function very well with or without hands but the hands can't do anything without the pivot even when the only function of the pivot, in the stroke, is to do nothing.

AND

we can get a long ways into developing a golf stroke before we realize that the problems are with the pivot and we got to this point with compensations we don't see.


Does that make any sense? ( I understand it but I wrote it)
