The #3 Power Accumulator is formed by placing the Clubshaft under the heel of the Left Hand with the Left Wrist in a Level condition (upper left forearm and first knuckle of left hand forefinger in-line). In this condition, Left Hand Turn and Roll produces Rotational Power.

When the Left Wrist is Cocked beyond Level, the Swing Radius is shortened. Its return to Level -- and finally, Uncocked -- creates Velocity Power, totally independent of Rotational Power.

When Left Wristcock Power is employed, the Residual Velocity (of the Uncocking Left Wrist) is Transferred into Impact by the Level Left Wrist Roll. Hence, the designation of #3 as Transfer Power.

Hello Mr. Yoda,

Re the acute PA#3 angle, you mentioned the more acute it is, the more power is lessened because of more clubhead travel to release the clubhead. Is it possible to instead focus on this, I mean maximize the clubhead travel and turn it to your advantage?

My "compensation" is this. I release right from the top of the swing. Sweep release. But my rlease just focuses on the release of PA#3 and PA#4, with everything else done to preserve the PA#3 angle as much as possible. I release PA#4 by firing the hips aggressively to start the DS from top and then aggressive turn of shoulders and arms. I release PA#3 with an independent and intentional supination of left forearm/wrist. The everything else are flat and level wrist at impact fix, pitch elbow, weak grip, bent right wrist/PP1, flat lies, low hands, butt of grip under the heel of palm, early elbow plane, and long thumb.

I don't feel a power drain on this. I achieve and ENSURE lag, greater clubhead travel translates to more momentum I think, so faster clubhead speed at impact, and best of all, tremendous accuracy. I never thought supination as fast as I can won't make the ball hook. Slight pulls, yes, but no hooks. And in a 56 degree wedge, I added 20 yards. Supination, as said by Hogan, in deed result to cleaner strikes as well, so more consistent sweet spot strikes, with the delofting of face resulting to lower shots/anti-wind shots, hence longer balls.

Anything you think is/are amiss in the above?

Sincerely.
