The first -- "Acceleration Bend" -- stresses the top of the Shaft during the Start Down. During the second -- "Release Bend" -- the stress is opposite the Acceleration Bend as the toe of the Club attempts to get in line with the #3 Pressure Point. The Hitter's stress is at the back of the Shaft and does not vary. I guess then, that the 7Th edition may explain this. Then the existing 6-C-2-A section is no longer completely applicable to a swinger. I'll buy new clubs with extra flexible shafts to get that added "Kick" the shaft will supply as I stop moving my hands to allow the shaft to take over through impact. Hmm? Or I can change to a Hitting stroke pattern. Daryl View Public Profile Send a private message to Daryl Find all posts by Daryl
