Oh what the Hey.....You've gone through Stage One as in depth as never before...you've enticed us with Stage 2.....Let's finish the deal here...I dare ya....
Stage Two of the Basic Motion Curriculum -- Acquired Motion -- expands the very Basic Motion from 'two feet back and through' to Waist-high (Right Forearm parallel to the ground on both ends of the Stroke).
In addition to the longer Stroke -- increased Acceleration Time (2-M-4-3) -- you acquire additional Power through minimal Pivot Motion (including Shoulder Turn and Weight Shift). Also, in addition to the Body Motion that serves to Load the Left Wrist (Swinging) or Right Elbow (Hitting), the Acquired Motion introduces the Hand Power Accumulators (Left Wrist Cock and Uncock and Left Hand Turn and Roll). With the introduction of Power Accumulator #3, the Club is now Gripped normally under the heel of the Left Hand (instead of in the cup as in Stage One). Accordingly, the Rhythm of the three Hinge Actions now varies and must be accomodated in the Stroke.

The Finish Swivel does not appear until Stage Three, the Total Motion. Hence, the Clubhead remains below the Hands in Stage Two. But as we end the Acquired Motion, we're already ripping around the Endless Belt (Item #14). Stay tuned!
Today was doing some chipping/short pitching with a 56 degree sandwedge. I hit a small bucket to a hole and then realized I was using the Basic Stroke. No pivot. Ne weight shift. Just a very short right forearm pickup and right arm thrust with light lag pressure to both arms straight about 2 feet in ront of me.
Stage One is very short but I also realized you can still vary the lag pressure without lengthening the stroke. The technique of varying the lag pressure is an important one and is applied for all length strokes as the shot demands. I think it helps feel to play around with lag pressure.

Yeah..now were getting into it...Now let's explain the difference of a Hitter's Aquired Motion and a Swinger's Aquired Motion......
Let's introduce the "Endless Belt" today....here in Aquried Motion.......What size belt do ya wear?
Bucket.....where did you go to Law School..."The Creek"?
