Does this mean that "TOP" is not a location on the way to "END" but a different "PATH"?
|
I dont have my book with me but somewhere in it I believe Homers alludes to both Single and Standard wrist action arriving at the same position at Top. Despite the difference in when the Left Hand is Turned or Turns to Plane.
Either way its a Right Forearm Takeaway assuming you're a TGM adherent. Why the heck do you guys try to use your airy fairy little golfers flail on the backswing anyways. OH are you a LEFTIST?

So the club cocks on plane right D? Do you buy it on the downswing too then?

I always thought so. It was Hitting that had confused me.

I think Homer said something to the effect of . . .the club comes down on the inclined plane but once it reaches the impact interval the uncocking is essentially vertical due to the wrist being "swiveled" into it's vertical alignment . . . but it FOR SURE AIN'T vertical prior to the point that the wrist is swiveled into its vertical condition.

If the left wrist got to vertical too early, wouldn't #3 have released prior to #2? Not good...

10-18-C SINGLE Here, the Left Wrist is Cocked but not Turned. The Action has three alternative procedures:
1. Let the Pivot bring Horizontal Hinging to a normal On Plane “Top” position.
2. Let the Pivot bring Angled Hinging to a normal On Plane “Top” postion.
3. Hold the Wrist – “Vertical” throughout for a True Single Action “Top” position.
Because there is actually NO HAND MOTION during the Stroke, the Clubhead Fix alignment remains undisturbed.

Why "TOP" position? What's the significance of "Top"? Why can't the Swinger use Single wrist action to bring horizontal hinging to "End" position. I must be missing something simple.

That's just a Non-automatic release. Any non-automatic works because it takes the normal 2-3 out of sequence.

The Three Stations by definition are Address, Top and Finish. End is just some extra gravy on the potatoes for those who like it.
When I was at the practice tee of the 2008 Masters I was really struck by how many of the pros stopped at Top for an Iron shot. They went to End with the drivers maybe. I think most amateurs take it too far back for an iron shot, even a long iron. You really dont need that extra travel up there. It gives you a little Delivery Path Hand "arc" up there between Top and End too as the hands go past the point where they can travel a relatively straight line back to the aiming point.
Combining the advantages of stopping at Top with Homers advice to sustain the rate of acceleration with steady, smooth acceleration makes G.O.L.F. much more manageable, consistent and easy. And not at the expense of power either given a small pulley wheel. Weird but wonderful, again.
