Throws
BTS
Thank you for your response. I've been studying this for some time. I agree with response #1 & 2 as this is my normal pattern for swinging too. However, the throw is from the wrists in this case. Nothing is actually thrown. The secondary lever assembly begins to accel. to impact. (i did'nt explain that very well).

#3, this is a point of confusion.
I may be confusing something here. If we let the pivot transport the power package into the release area (which we do), keeping the hands and club lagging, the I don't think that the #4 accumulator is being fully used. If we increase the spacing in a more sequenced release, then accumulators will be felt more like 4,2,3. With greater emphasis on #4. The #4 accumulator is more fully employed. It (#4) steals momentum from the pivot and begins moving the primary lever assembly. (the pivot actually feels like it transfered momentum to the left arm). The confusion for me is that now we seemingly have 2throws in one stoke pattern. Shoulder and wrist. It feels very powerfull and sounds dead perfect on the ball. I think that this procedure uses (is) a right arm swing but I'm not pulling with the right arm. I'm not sure though. The ball does travel about 5 yards more, and there seems to be a greater left hand/clubface contol feeling. The acuracy is better too. I think this is a result of the pivot slowing down thus giving the hands more time to conrol the pivot. I can also determine/contol when the left starts to come off the body. I can hold it untill just before release or from just after the initial hip accelleration. This is different from what you and I have as a standard pattern. Concerning your answer #4, mine do too.

However, and this is the big one...it works just as well with chipping and short pitches. Hmm... i've been working with right arm only chipping which is why I think it is more of a right arm swing. I'll keep reading and studying.

The combinations of Trigger types are listed in 11-20.....What's interesting is how these combinations evolved/changed throughout the first six editions....so I can't wait to get the 7th

Annikan, 11-20 only shows the most common Trigger Type combinations.

The answer to your question is yes, bearing in mind that, here, the Delivery Path Throw is triggered at the bottom of the short arc (as opposed to the long arc in a Sweep Release).

Please refer to (2) in post #15 of this thread.

Tong,

I experimented a little at the indoor range today. The shoulder throw does seem better, though not as simple. When the wrist throw occurs late in the swing it seems to blur the #2 and #3...more swivel. A little earlier and less blur. I hope i'm not traveling on the wrong path here by experimenting.

One of the nice things which occurs, is that the horizontal hinge action is more definite..deliberate,, and even with a week grip, the ball doesn't fade the slightest, which I think shows me that the slowing of the pivot doesn't mean that they aren't fully turning through. Hmm..Strong single action grip with standard wrist action has a slightly lower trajectory. Weak single action seems more true and it has no bad effects on the deiberate horizontal hinge, i.e. good roll feeling.

However, as I said earlier, the shoulder throw is a bit tweekier, i.e. not as much room for error.

Any new feelings / patterns to report back on?

Trigger type and plane angle on downswing
Is there a tendency for most players to use certain plane angles with certain throws?

wrist throw with elbow plane / snap release?

Shoulder throw/hand throw with TSP / full sweep release??

Thanks
