From the Top

[12 piece bucket]

I've been fiddling around with this lately, so it's funny that this thread came up. From my "experimentation", the difference is largely in the way the body moves. In other words, the amount of trigger delay was affected directly by the influence of the body, rather than the motion of the hands. For example, I noticed that when I really tried to create the look (as opposed to the feel) of throwaway, my body had to react in a very different way in order to produce that throwaway. It's funny, in my best-ever ballstriking session, I tried to feel like I was creating the "swish" of the golf club by my right shoulder. I've never had better contact, prettier ballflight, or more effortless swing as I had that day. It's a good feel, in my opinion, for the right type of player, with the right type of mechanics.

Sounds like Swinging to me. Could be that you were creating the initial pull with this thought via the spin of the Flywheel. I think your body will very much react to the intent you have interms of where you are taking your hands and how. The thought probably allowed you to Load #2 and #4.

Probably. Another thing is that this feeling (throwing the clubhead) allowed me to feel and monitor PP3 like I never have before. It makes sense; PP3 is clubhead feel, right? It's basically the difference between "holding the angle", and creating and maintaining lag. If lag pressure is the tactile manifestation of clubhead inertia, then what sense would it make (if you're trying to create that inertia) for someone to apply force in the same direction as the clubhead's backswing movement (holding the angle)? If inertia is the resistance to a change in direction (in this case, by the clubhead), then it makes sense the the force would be applied in the direction opposite the clubhead's backswing path.

I think that the advent of all of these swing sequences and the misinterpretations of those sequences have led a lot of people down the wrong path, as far as the creation of accumulator lag is concerned. Think about it; if you're trying to throw a ball as far as you can, you're letting it go. You're not muscularly holding your arm back; you're trying to move that ball forward from the jump. That look of the elbow leading the hands is the result of the proper sequence of motion, good rhythm, and good ole inertia.

At least, it appears that way to me...
