Lag Loading And Assembly Points -- Hitting And Swinging

"Resisting the Backstroke motion" (7-19-1) is the Hitter's method of Loading the Right Elbow to Drive (10-19-A) the entire Primary Lever Assembly (Left Arm and Club) from the Top (10-21-A). Should he choose to go to the End (10-21-C), he must resist the formidable tendency to then Accelerate the Clubshaft (only) Longitudinally (Pull it lengthwise as if a piece of string) rather than the entire Assembly Radially (Push it from behind as if an Axe Handle). Study 2-K and 7-23.
"Throwing the Club against the Lag Pressure Point" (7-19-3) with the Pivot is the Swinger's method of Loading the Left Wrist to Drag (10-19-C) the Secondary Lever Assembly (the Clubshaft only) from the Top or End (10-21-A/C).
For Full Strokes, Hitters may alternatively use a Downstroke Side Assembly Point (10-21-E). Or, a Downstroke Top Assembly Point (10-21-D) if the inclination toward Longitudinal Acceleration is properly Compensated. Swingers may alternatively use either procedure without concern for an improper Loading due to the chosen Assembly Point.
For Short Strokes, both Hitters and Swingers use the Side Assembly Point (10-21-B).

I resembled that remark!

I like this ..I post a pic...and you guys go to town on the great discussion...this is a win - win.......Yoda ..don't you dare go back to sleep...keep vomiting this great stuff!!! "Green Vomit" euuuuuuh!!!
Now if he would only get his left arm flying wedge (lefty swing) more in line at setup.....................
For the 'lefty' that would be the Left Forearm Flying Wedge.
Remember, the Left Hander's entire Right Arm lies within the plane of the perpendicular Right Wristcock Motion. Hence, the Right Arm Flying Wedge. However, only the Left Forearm -- not the upper Left Arm -- lies in the plane of the Clubshaft / Sweetspot. Hence, the Left Forearm Flying Wedge.

Indeed - the 'model' swinger IMO - nice contrast to Appleby

And there you have an interesting observation.
For Wier, who is a true swinger, there is not really a 'significant' issue with the trail arm wedge not being set properly at address, because he, like a good true swinger, does not 'add' through impact. Meaining he is all 'lead wedge' (in his case, right wedge).
This, in contrast to Tiger, who despite his attempts at becoming a true swinger, still has the urge of the hitter, to add right (trail) arm at impact - hence the fact that his trail arm wedge is off at address IS a big problem.
If anyone has access to shot link patterns for Weir, I'd suspect that his misses, especially under pressure, are to the left.
In either case, yes, both of them would, in the long run, be best served by correcting this issue at address.

EdZ,
Weir does not set up as with the left forearm in line with the shaft. At impact it is inline. Does he not have to make some sort of club face manipulation to be correct at impact?
