Lazy Man's Guide: Swinging vs Hitting

[12 piece bucket]

Left Wrist Cock and Uncock (Vertical Motion) -- Clubhead Motion

Left Hand Turn and Roll (Rotational Motion) -- Clubface Alignment

Regarding the last sentence of the first paragraph of 2-P:

• "Only with a Turned Left Wrist, such as 10-2-D, can Uncocking be both motions, that is, actually Throwing the Clubface at the Ball."

With the recommended Strong Single Action Grip (10-2-B), the Clubface Impact alignment is established in Fix with the Left Hand Vertical. During Release, the Clubhead is thrown by the Uncocking of the Turned Left Wrist. The Clubface is aligned by a separate Roll of the Left Hand into its Vertical Alignment for Impact. These actions are Sequenced for Swingers and Simultaneous for Hitters (4-D-0).

With a Strong Double Action Grip (10-2-D), the Clubface Impact Alignment is likewise established in Fix. However, with this Grip Variation, the Left Hand is Turned On Plane. During Release, just as in the Strong Single Action Grip, the Clubhead is thrown by the Uncocking of the Turned Left Wrist. But, because the Turned Left Wrist is also the Impact Alignment, no separate Left Hand Roll is required to Square the Clubface. Hence, Uncocking the Turned Left Wrist throws both Clubhead and Clubface at the Ball.

Thanks man! Crystal Clear! Much appreciated! Follow up question.

This came from the Archives. This makes a lot of since but would this also work for 10-2-D?

Regarding the Open Clubface alignment at Fix, try this experimhelp you understand why Horizontal Hina Grip the Club with your Left Wrist Flat and Vertical. Then raise your arm directly in front of your Left Shoulder and parallel to the groundVerify that the toe of the Club is pointing directly at the sky. If it is not, adjust it until it does. Now swing your arm in front of you (like a hinged gate) until it is directly over the back of the Ball (positioned forStraightaway Flight).

Closing through Impact, and that Motion must be accomodated in theImpact Fix Alignment. For the 'light' Shots -- Putts and short Chips -- the Impact Interval is so short that very little Clubface adjustment is required. In other words, the Ball does not stay on the Clubface long enough for the Closing Motion to affect it. So, on Short Shots -- for allHinge Actions -- a Square Clubface at Fix is all that is required. [Thisinformation is not 'in the book' but wre However, the opposite is true for the extended Impact Interval of longer shots. For Horizontal Hinging, the Clubface has longer to Closand it must therefore be aligned more and more Open as the shots get longer. For Angled Hinging, the Clubface should be aligned mora The degree of Clubface 'Open' or 'Close' will vary for eachlength of Shot. And this can only be determined through experimentation. Ao 1 2 3.
