3-F-6 EXECUTION All quick, jerky and wobbly motions are improper execution. Neither the Hands nor the Club are flipped or swished around haphazardly. The ideal – even with an Automatic Release – is to be very deliberate, positive and Heavy. Never Dainty. Shorten the Stroke, slow the Stroke or delay the Release until a positive Clubhead Lag can give the hands a heavy Clubhead to drive (or swing) against the ball – at all speeds. See 6-F. Erratic execution indicates loss of Rhythm (2-G).
And a flimsy Power Package structure indicates lack of Extensor Action (6-B-1-D) and/or neglect of the Flying Wedges (6-B-3-0). Or faulty Translation. Or, it may be that you are attempting to incorporate incompatible Components as discussed in Chapters 1-K and 13. Any procedure - whether Practicing or Playing – that procedure slow that produces awkward or un-golf-like positions or motions is being misapplied. Go back and get it straight immediately – starting with 3-0 and 3-B. Learning step-by-step – start with 3-0 and 3-b. Learning step-by-step to maintain the essential Geometry per 5-0, under all conditions, alone leads to a MASTER’S level of execution. That is – with and without Wristcock, with and without #3 Accumulator, with any Hinging, with any Plane Line Combination (10-5) from any Ball Location, Hitting or Swinging, with Right Forearm Takeaway (7-3) and with a motionless Right Wrist.

When did you finish your 15 seconds? What have you done after that?
Learn the Flying Wedge Alignment and how to maintain the Alignment at Impact (15 seconds). You will ALWAYS want to Grip the Club and Align your Wedges at Impact Fix.

6-B-3-0-1 THE FLYING WEDGES The Clubhead may appear to move in an arc around and outside the Hands when related to the Left Arm – the very basic Left Arm Flying Wedge. But when related to the Right Forearm, it appears to move “On Plane” with the Right Forearm, at its normal rigid angle (Bent Right Wrist) – the Right Forearm Flying Wedge. So – except in Sections 1 and 3 (Chapter the entire Left Arm, the Clubshaft and the back of the Left Hand are ALWAYS positioned against the same flat plane – the Right Forearm and the Clubshaft are, in like manner, positioned on the plane of the Right Wrist Bend AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE LEFT ARM PLANE. That is the precision assembly and alignment of the Power Package structure and is mandatory during the entire motion. Hitting or Swinging. Study 4-D-1 regarding “Grip” and “Flat Left Wrist”. Also see 7-3. Then, ideally, the Left Wrist is always Flat and the Right Wrist is always Level (4-A-1, 4-B-1).

7-1 GRIPS – BASIC Basic Grip is the term indicating the mere act of holding on to the Club and relates primarily to the proximity of the Hands. They simply are either close enough to overlap or they are not close enough to overlap. So all non-overlapping Grips are Baseball Grips.
The Grips of Hitters and Swingers must differ in tightness. But still per 1-L-3, 6-B-3-0-1, 7-3 and 10-6-B. For the Swinger, Centrifugal Force Uncocks BOTH the Left Wrist and the Right Elbow per 7-19 and 7-20. So both must remain “Passive” but never “Whippy.” For the Hitter, the Right Triceps become “Active” and execute both Uncocking motions with a firmness that approaches the mandatory rigidity of the Right Wrist. With both procedures, the Flying Wedges’ alignments, as always, never waver. Grip types other than the Strong Single Action (10-2-B) either destroy the Wedges or produce inferior deviations. Also study 3-F-6. The prestressed (bent) clubshaft (10-19-A) and maximum Swing Radius (10-19-C) are resistances to Impact Decelerations that each must establish before – not during – Impact (2-M-1).

FLYING WEDGES Example – multiple sails on a sail boat. Mechanical – Push-Pull rams on hydraulic excavators mounted at 90 degrees to each other to position and hold the main beam. Golf – Maintaining the constant simultaneous In-Line relationship of the Clubshaft with the Left Arm and the Right Forearm positioned at ninety degrees to each other along the Line of the Left Wristcock and the line of the Right Wrist Bend.

To make use of this in a satisfactory and consistent way takes at least an additional 15 seconds/ or more ..(months)...
Looking forward to your videos to fill all the sparetime that will occur ...
lots of great comments containing great thought. From many.
Thanks all.
I would like to add a few of my thoughts from TGM, HK and my own head.
Maybe to #216 Daryl might include 7-3 ... hitting- loading entire primary lever assembly...swinging - motion of secondary lever assembly. This is important stuff for uncompensated motion.
Me- on the pivot- swinging, the pivot provides the "out" (throws the club down plane) - Hitting, the pivot creates the "around".
Me- Having a good pivot that is capable of thought free (in the computer)execution as require at the direction of the hands is CRITICAL.
Me- All impact force goes through the hands. The shoulders are on the "hands" plane.
Me- since there is a downstroke plane shift it is practical to start down pulling, (care not to set up to much CF) shifting to a hitting push with little requirement for compensation.
If the Left Arm goes slack does that mean that Left Shoulder has ceased Pulling the Power Package? It would make sense logically. I dunno.
This kid is crazy long.
Not Bad. He's Long.................
Bent, not slack. He's Driving his Right Forearm down the Angle of Approach (good). Unfortunately, his Right Forearm Wedge is not Aligned for Hinging during the Downstroke (not good, need a compensation to realign the Wedge). So,... he Tilts his torso (which Tilts the Power Package) which moves his head Rearward. This aligns his Right Forearm Wedge for Release but with the unfortunate consequence of relocating his Left Shoulder.
I'm sure that he senses the Left Arm Wedge because he allows his Left Elbow to bend so that the out-of-aligned Head and Left Shoulder doesn't disturb what little of it he has. He is throwing the Clubhead AT the BAll. 10-2-D grip - not much Left Arm Wedge Anyway. He's using the Right Hand for Clubhead and Clubface Control.

Jamie Sadlowski??
4B with lots of "wibble-Wobble" (COMPENSATIONS)
Hb
ALSO;
The line in 6-b-3-0-1;
" AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE LEFT ARM PLANE."
Seems. applicable to angled hinging-BUT- not horizontal or vertical(the dual hinges)
if, what is meant by LEFT ARM PLANE is the plane of entire primary lever assembly. ???
hb-ps. again

Not really...likely means the radius has been disrupted somehow and is a compensation to avoid crashing the ground/managing low point...That cat is Swinging....look at down the line....fonky grip type...bottom line he's a freak of nature.
