How Flat is Flat?

[Daryl]

At impact fix the left wrist is vertical to the respective plane of the hinge action you wish to apply. The no.2 accumulator, the left wrist, moves the clubhead up and down in a perpendicular motion relative to its 'vertical' plane - as to not change the impact alignments of the clubface with its motion. Remember, the no.2 accumulator is a clubhead motion, not a clubface motion (thats acc no.3's role) ....and thats how to 'do it right'.

Mathew,

If the back of the left hand faces down the angle of approach at impact fix, with the left arm and clubshaft in line, then is it perfectly vertical to the horizontal plane (horz Hing)? I'm a little confused here. I agree with what you are saying. Wristcock perpendicular/clubhead motion. But does that mean that all weak single action grips will have no slight bend at the top and all strong single action grips will? Even my questions sound foggy.

If you imagine the whole primary lever assembly (left arm and club) flat against a door to represent the plane of the hinge action that your left wrist is vertical to at fix, the wristcock motion during the stroke will make the clubhead go up and down that door in a perpendicular motion.

The golfing machine defines weak and strong differently than the rest of the golfing world. Homer Kelley defined a strong grip as one that the pressure points where on plane otherwise it is labelled weak. The 'golf digest world' labels it dependant on how turned the hand is.....

The more turned the hand is at impact fix - the more the perpendicular motion of the left will move from wristcock to wristbend.
