Throwout and Full Lever Extension

[12 piece bucket]

2-K GENERATION OF ANGULAR MOTION Angular Motion is the result of at least two divergent forces. Such as, -A. Centripetal Force (the Lever Assemblies 6-A) diverting Linear Force (Right Arm Thrust 6-B-1) into a rotating motion (Hitting 10-19-A). Or – B. Turning its axis (the Body 2-M-4) to spin a flywheel – the Lever Assemblies (Swinging 10-19-C).

Rotation induces a Throw-Out action, pulling the centers of gravity of every moveable component, In-Line and On Plane with its axis or center, whether or not they were originally In-Line or On Plane. With a short radius it can accelerate easily, and quickly acquire considerable Angular Velocity. If a portion of this mass moves to a longer radius, the slowing effect (6-C-2-B) must be computed on the basis of the total mass AS LONG AS THE PORTION IS BEING PROPELLED BY THE TOTAL. That is – the slowdown would be in the same ratio that the portion has to the whole – the original central mass. This “Transfer of Momentum” process (10-19-C) eliminates Release Deceleration (6-F-0) but not Impact Deceleration (2-M-1). This Throw-Out action is termed herein as “Centrifugal Acceleration” to indicate that Centrifugal Force (Centrifugal Reaction), not muscle, is propelling the Secondary Lever Assembly (the Golf Club) into Impact. So Swingers are totally dependent on their skill at manipulating Centrifugal Force while Hitters are not. But study 4-D, 6-B-3-0, 6-R-0 and 7-2.

Compare the Primary Lever Assembly (6-A-2) with the common flail. While the “swingle” is seeking its “in-line” (full extension ) relation with the “handle” (catching up) there is “Centrifugal Acceleration.” When it becomes “in-line” (caught up) this settles into “Centrifugal (Angular) Momentum” (Full Extension). If it passes its “in-line” relation, it again seeks its “in-line” relation (backs up) and “Centrifugal Deceleration” sets in with a huge power loss. These three phases demonstrate what is termed herein “The Law of the Flail” – the Swingers primary concern.

Based 2-K the Swinger's Left Hand is Turned against the face of the Plane and is pulled down Karate style via Drag Loading. Since #2 is a Vertical hammering motion, what actuates Full Lever Extension in Swinging? CF?

So Sequenced Release is a hammering Uncocking Action of the Left Hand DOWN PLANE Clubhead Motion and trusting that the Spinning pivot to the left will result in THROW-OUT action squaring the Clubface?

Thanks!

The left wrist uncocking provides the 'down' and the pivot provides the 'out'. Uncock then roll. The 'roll' is imparted by the pivot. The combination of those two force vectors = 'on plane' sweet spot. Force moving away from 'center' to its in line condition, which is separate from the in line condition of the lever (left arm and club) IMO.

Yes, the throw out action is the 'cracking whip' moving through the body and down the 'lever' of the left arm to its 'straight' position - that 'force' is 'in line' at both arms straight. CF is 'driving that whip'. The flywheel.

Send 'force' to both arms straight, in front of the ball and you can not have throw away. You will also have 'support' at impact. Resistence to impact deceleration. Mass in your lever.

When learning Full Lever Extension, do you consciously uncock the left wrist while keeping it in the Flat attitude?

Thanks!

As a slow motion drill to learn 'uncock then roll' yes. Keep in mind the 'cracking whip' of your body, arms, club and don't let the 'upper part beat the lower' - the sequence must be correct - then you can really 'get' the uncock and 'let' the pivot take care of the roll. Almost as if you throw the club AWAY from the target (as long as you pivot).

The key, as aways, is that the CLUB must swing. There should be no interuption of that 'swing' - just a smooth cracking of the whip through impact. The uncock then roll will become one smooth motion let the 'swinging' of the club and your total balance show you how the two blend. Swing two or three clubs held together, with your eyes closed and let the 'swinging force' be your guide. Back and through, back and through - balanced and smooth and heavy.

How to learn the "feel" of the un-cock then roll, aka sequenced release:

- take your favorite wedge
- take a narrow stance
- place the ball near your left heel
- using only your left arm, hit pitches that are crisp with very small divots

-----

Focus on this sequence:

1) turn the club to the plane (should be waist high)
2) cock the club UP the plane (should be somewhere in the 3/4 range)
3) un-cock down the plane
4) roll to the inside back corner of the ball
5) roll back to the plane

-----

Do that sequence with the 5 above until you can make a very tiny draw with your wedge and once you can do that on command, you my friend have just learned how to swing with a horizontal hinge. This is what really made me learn swinging. When i'm going at it good, i can get my 53* wedge almost 90 yards with only my left arm.

Could you go into more detail about throwing the club away from the target? Sounds like throwaway, so this image is not registering with me.

Thanks.

DDL....

Imagine a "posed" downswing and where you, the clubhead, and the clubshaft would be when your around hip high. Now that clubhead is pretty far IN from the ball right? Something has to get that club to go OUT at the ball right?

That is what centrifugal force and your pivot is doing, it is getting that clubhead to "throw-out" AT THE BALL.

Better?

It is only throw away if you are out of sequence, that 'chain' must move from the ground up to both arms straight. As long as your pivot is keeping you from 'breaking the chain', (meaning the lower part of the chain always moves first as the motion of the 'whip' moves up your left side, down your left arm, to the club), you can 'feel' a throw "away" from the target.

When you feel that throw, what you are really feeling is lag pressure, and you 'lay the hammer down' on the ball.

As another drill - get a hammer. Hold it in your left hand as if you were ready to hammer a nail. Now turn that entire 'left arm wedge' that is the hammer and your left forearm, that 'on plane' left wrist cock - to the plane. (from your standard left hand hammer position, simply get into golf posture and turn the left wrist 90 degrees clockwise so your palm is facing you)

From this extreme (basically a 10-2-D grip) you can 'hammer a nail through the inside back corner' and you will find that you don't need to think about the 'roll', just hammer that nail and the roll will take care of itself.

As you get the feel for this uncock and roll, you'll find that unless you want to play a fade, 10-2-B is the better option.

Remember it is the sequence, the rhythm, that matters, so go slowly and start with small swings - and STAY with small swings until you really have it 'down'

You need to keep the pivot moving. Not necessarily fast but "ahead of the club".

This is such a great thread, I'm glad I found it. I have been missing this in my swinging motion. I was hammering (more of a sledge hammer than a claw hammer) sideways then rolling the left wrist through impact but no conscious uncocking motion. Now I am just uncocking the left wrist and letting the pivot provide the roll. It feels wonderful! Thanks to O.B. for the AG clip a few days ago about the left wrist hammering motion. That's what sparked my interest in these uncocking threads. Great stuff!
