Trigger Types and Trigger Delay

Yoda?...


Hey little green dude..


Come on out and play!!!!

I love your topic on trigger types and delays. This past week
I hit 2000 ball trying to figure out how to get the right elbow
past the line of sight to the ball before release. When I look
at the pictures 8-9, 8-10, in the book, the lady is now where
close to passing the ball with her right elbow before release.
I have been working with the ideas of pushing the elbow through,
more lower body shift to the left, more pivot, and more axis tilt. In your opinion, what was Homers procedure for getting
the right elbow past the ball before release?

Thanks Donn

Why do you feel the need to get the Right Elbow past the ball?

Thanks for the reply 12 Piece. I looked at Annikan's list
of trigger delays and then read #1: 6-B-C-1. Along that
line, I have always wondered how a hitter with max #1 puuch
stroke, kept the elbow postion "down-and-at-the-side" and
still got the the elbow past the line of sight to the ball
before release to get full use of the #1 accumulator. Hogan
seemed to do it, but he was swinging? Then the question come
up, swingers don't normally use #1 as a primary power source.
His elbow position as on the watch pocket, which I guess, one
could say the elbow is inside the hip? I keep refering to the
topic by Lynn on Hogans Power Source. I have been trying
to drive the elbow with the right knee/foot without distrubing
the anchors. Seems to go along with the the book "Afternoons
with Mr. Hogan" by Vasquez. If you have any ideas, please let
me know. Thanks Donn

DK,

Remember . . . it is line of site to the ball . . . not actually PAST THE BALL. That will get you into "perverted Pitch" elbow . . . equating to Plane Problems and erratic ball flights.

Annikan has a great one for this . . "Get your Right Forearm Flying Wedge VISUALLY past the ball from the golfer's perspective." Remember you eyes are BEHIND the ball . . . so what looks like past really ain't past. Don't overcook it. I did it and have suffered as a result.

I am still somewhat of a pitch perv.

How would you get more Trigger Delay in Matthew's Stroke (not saying it needs it)?



How would you get the Trigger Delay OUT of Annikan's motion

So let's see what we can do to Max Out one and Undo the other . . .

Paying particular attention to Annikan's 4th Frame and Mathew's 3rd Frame . . .

The key I feel to my stroke, inorder not to have throwaway is to aggressively use my extensor action...constantly pushing downwards hard with my right arm towards the plane line through 'pp3' (instead of pp1) to maintain a flat left wrist. It is also this factor I believe that causes my gradual release. I very much concentrate on the active pressure of the extensor action through pp3 'downwards' towards the plane line. Like your holding a knife in the right hand keep stabbing the pressure downwards with pp3. The right forearm is very active with its extensor action....

Annikan's #4 Accumulator seems more intact compared to Mathew.

I'll hazard a guess: introduce him to Drag Loading, for example compare frame 3 with photo 10-19-C #2 (page 195 of the 6th edition)

12 Piece Bucket - I think that you are right on to maintain
the Flying Wedges. Seems like Hogan got his right elbow way
in from the get go (refering to the demonstration on Shells
wonderful world of golf). Interesting, I don't see any of
the pictures in this forum where the guys get the elbow inside
the line of sight before release. Looking at previous pictures, Seems that Lynn gets the right elbow inside the line of sight before release, but Ted doesn't? The trick has to be able to do it while maintaining the flying wedges. Thanks again, Donn

I suspect his left hand grip needs to be adjusted a bit, too much in the palm, heel pad not on top. Without that change he can't get any more delay than he has now. (noted in other thread re: his sequence)
