What was the preselected Downstroke Clubshaft Plane in the Freddy sequence? How can the shoulder move down on the preselected Downstroke Clubshaft Plane unless that is the Turned Shoulder Plane? Say you were going to shift the sweetspot down from the Turned Shoulder Plane to the Elbow Plane, should your goal be to also shift the shoulder?
Freddy pre-selects nothing.
Never has.
Never will.
Freddy...
Is.
Freddy picks the Club straight up with his Right Forearm and then slams it into the back of the Ball so hard he says, "I feel I can snap the clubhead off the end of the shaft."
I neglected to add this to my earlier post so here goes.
Per 7-13, "The Shoulder is the fastest and farthest moving component of the Pivot and actually transmits the Pivot motion to the Arms."
The Pivot, Zone #1 is made up of
Components: #12 Pivot
#13 Shoulder Turn
#14 Hip Turn
#15 Hip Action
#16 Knee Action
#17 Foot Action
Like I mentioned earlier, many start down correctly until they reach the shoulders per 6-M-1 and then they move the shoulders in the wrong direction.
In other words, the sum of the total sequence is correct, "Knees, Hips, Shoulders..." but individually at least for the shoulder, it is improper.
In so doing, they roundhouse and throw the club to the point where they lose so much power it ain't funny. There is ZERO transmission of power from the pivot and they wind up with only "hand" power, instead of pivot power (see below).
You have heard the saying that "a chain is only as strong as its weakest link." In G.O.L.F, we have to deal with our gear train.
Per 6-C-0, "Pivot Lag (9-1) is Body Power for Swingers (2-M-4), Launching Pad for Hitters (2-M-3), and for both operates like a "GEAR TRAIN"...to extend the Swing Radius..."
When shoulders move out of sync, not only do you throw the club, you also lose Swing Radius.
Per 6-B-0 "So the Clubhead (or primary Lever Assembly) whose Swing Radius extends to the feet is much harder to decelerate during Impact. Which means better Clubhead Speed at Separation. See 2-E" Per 9-1, "Emphatically, Hands are not educated until they control the Pivot."
But I want to pose this question, will it not be infinitely easier for the Hands to control a pivot that is trained than one that is dumb?
Give 9-1 a shot and then add Zones 2 and 3 as quickly as possible and see if your game does not improve.

More great stuff from Justin, the Slingpore Slinger!
What was the preselected Downstroke Clubshaft Plane in the Freddy sequence? How can the shoulder move down on the preselected Downstroke Clubshaft Plane unless that is the Turned Shoulder Plane? Say you were going to shift the sweetspot down from the Turned Shoulder Plane to the Elbow Plane (from the Top down), should your goal be to also shift the rear shoulder?
Freddy pre-selects nothing.
Thanks Yoda. How about the other questions? Maybe I need the definition of what a "preselected Downstroke Clubshaft Plane" is exactly before I'll get a grasp of that quote.
Here is another one for you. How can you have the rear shoulder and rear forearm be on the same plane angle without having a straight rear arm

I am not green but here goes.
In math, there are two absolute angles, meaning that it either is or it is not. These two are the horizontal and vertical planes. They either are horizontal / vertical or they are not.
However, because golf is played at an angle in between these two planes, there are an infinite number of angles that one may choose to play golf on.
Mr Kelly identified 5 of these inclined angles and they are catalogued in 10-6 of the book. Yes, there are an infinite number of angles on an incline plane, but there are only 5 that can be readily identified in relation to some body part (elbow, hands and shoulders), thus the 5 codified plane angles.
Elbow Plane
Squared Shoulder Plane
Turned Shoulder Plane
Turning Shoulder Plane and
Hands only Plane.
"preselected Downstroke Clubshaft Plane" simply means the clubshaft on which the player wants to utilise on the downstroke.
Please read 10-7 for an exposition of plane shifts.
Anyone of the 5 can be used or anyone of the infinite angles can be used.
Personally, I use the Turned Shoulder Plane because as Mr. Kelly says, any plane shift is hazardous. Nonetheless, for physical and psychological reasons, plane shifts can and are utilised.
The "rear shoulder" and "rear forearm" can be in a straight line (with the clubshaft) if one bends the right ("rear) elbow in towards the right hip. It will appear in a straight line if viewed from a "down-the-line" perspective.
"preselected Downstroke Clubshaft Plane" simply means the clubshaft on which the player wants to utilise on the downstroke.
If you shift during the Downstroke, which plane is the preselected plane? Or, is there only ever a preselected Downstroke Clubshaft Plane in a zero shift Downstroke?
If the Turned Shoulder Plane is the angle from the the plane line up to the rear shoulder at the end of the Backstroke(no matter what type of Shoulder Turn took place), how can the rear shoulder move downplane at start down on anything but the Turned Shoulder Plane?

I can't picture this comdpa Are there any photos or diagrams that could clear this up for me?
Another question. For how long should the rear shoulder move downplane? I see many down the line sequences showing the rear shoulder moving above plane before impact, but few with it remaining on plane to both arms straight. What is ideal?
