Daryl,

I'm not learned enough to answer your questions, but I find them very interesting. In my opinion, from where I am in my journey as a hitter, I am making a totally different sound during the line of compression than I have for years. I am loving it. Perhaps I am not fitting the exact mold of a "hitter" though. I have a feeling that I am still employing some horizontal hinge action. My feeling of "hitting" may just be a better use of the magic of the right forearm on the back stroke. It may be easy to confuse the two motions for rookies like me.

Trying to find a way to get to the swamp...

Daryl, all, is the leakage just Layback or is it Clubface rotation as well? I dunno.

Ive been wondering about the implications of 2-C-1 to the hitters angled hinge action as well. The book illustrates Horizontal and Vertical but not Angled.

If the Line of Compression ( Angular Force as an equal to Linear Force via a point of contact between clubface and ball that remains intact and rotates on plane at separation) holds true only for Horizontal Hinging then that renders Angled less powerful, no? Does this mean that Luke could drive it 400 yards with a Thrust and a Horizontal Hinge? Does Luke do this I wonder? Or is the compression leakage associated with Angled within an acceptable margin given the obvious directional superiority.

What did Arnie do on the first hole at Cherry Hills again? I mean after he hitched up his pants, you idiot.

Ya know, I still get the same compression sound when I draw or fade the ball. So I think that there must be some room in the amount of leakage or the kind of leakage. I'll need to study it further, but I don't know if a Hitting Stroke has the kind of leakage we're talking about. Angled Hinging still has a solid straight line of compression and impact and separation points are the same as well. So does Vertical Hinging and so does the cut shot. So I assume that the compression sound is present in any strike with these characteristics.

Back to the Book.

2-C-0 LINEAR FORCE The ball will respond to non-linear (angular) force exactly the same as to linear forces only if the application produce forces equally linear to the ball but not necessarily linear to anything external to the ball.

Briefly stated, it is necessary to find a way to compress the ball through a particular point along a particular line, and maintain this compression through the same particular point along this same particular line straight line, through the entire arc of the Impact Interval, and with geometrical precision for consistent control. Study 2-K and 2-N.
