Gentlemen,
I am familiar with the "Endless Belt Effect". However I would like to go much deeper than just it's concept here on this post. I would like to discuss its application and the ability to adjust The Hand Speed(Belt), The change from Linear Speed to Angular Speed, and The Pulley Size. Like I said I understand it's basic concept...I would enjoy more discussion on this subject.
How do you regulate the Hand Speed of the Belt versus the Surface Speed of the Clubhead?
Circle Path Delivery .... No Belt just One Big Pulley!!!! Understood.... Now What controls the speeds of the hands and the Club.
Hand speed controls clubhead speed in the end. I'm guessing perhaps #3 and #4 accumulaters.
off the path, sort of. My son fences and the tip speed of foil comes from the tiny movement of his forefinger and thumb, like pp#3. I very tiny belt/circle.
I prefer to think about Left Wrist speed rather than hand speed. The LW speed must be matched to the pulley size. The bigger the pulley, the further the butt of the club travels in the pulley section which requires the LW to move faster in order to stay ahead of it and to keep it from backing up. For the biggest pulley, the LW speed is determined by how fast you can rotate. This is how Woods generates so much speed. This is what Homer is talking about when he talks about a fast start down from the top with the LW throw.
The alternative is to minimize the pulley section and the LW speed required, so that the snap into the pulley section produces a lot of clubhead travel with a small amount of butt end travel in a short amount of time. This does not required a fast start down from the top. You can deliberately drive the club butt first longitudinally to a deep release point and then provide the LW speed required to match the small pulley.
I once saw a guy that had no pulley. When the left arm was vertical, the shaft was horizontal. I suppose that is a 0(Zero) pulley. Of course one can only see this kind of thing using video.
