Support the On Plane Swinging Force In Balance

[EdZ]

Swinging and hitting are a continuum, two sides of the same coin

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=continuum

ALL motion in the universe seeks balance, although it may not always be clear which forces are at play. This is a fundamental, a true imperative, of nature. One that many if not most people on this planet are unaware of, or at least seem to be.

Equilibrium

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Equilibrium

One can equate both balance and equilibrium with the word efficient.

Efficient forces move in a straight line, with no wobble - they move smoothly - and most importantly they move ON PLANE (perhaps a bit abstract a statement, but an important point).

So we have 'on plane' force (efficient)
We have 'balanced' force (efficient)

Add to that a SWINGING force, which is of course, also efficient, an important element of TIME.

And then of course - SUPPORT - the crux of sending one object in motion by another - efficient transfer of energy.

No wasted motion.

I've certainly seen a dramatic increase in The Golf Channel, Golf Digest, and Golf Magazine mentioning the word BALANCE.

More and more each day.

As they mention EFFICIENT, more and more each day.

Knudson, Hogan - they knew how important BALANCE is.

Now if they rest of the world would 'get it'....

I haven't figured out a way to prove it but i feel that balance IS A RESULT a proper swing.

You can't have really good balance from a crappy swing.

Again, can't prove it (yet) but i will try in the future.

HOWEVER

Please know that i don't feel balance isn't important, i feel it's HUGE but i just feel the way above.

I think it has a lot to do with setup too.....I like to feel like I'm leaning back (towards heels) a bit

Then you get into on-plane rotation (force) of the actual Swing when it's in motion.

...

I LOVE the image of the hammer-thrower spinning on his HEELS....(it's not as extreme as that in the golf swing....but that's the jist).



Then Chris Farely over here:


This one is veyr extreme (in how far he's leaning back) but imagine what that feels like.
