Accumulator #2 vs. Accumulator #3

[EdZ]

Boss . . . after some intense study of the Martee Make-Over CD . . . I'm convinced that you absolutely have NAILED how to teach swinging with the Hammering on a Vertical Plane.

I have been experimenting with going back and forth between the vertical and inclined planes of motion . . .

But this was the kicker for me. I did the full hammering deal on the vertical plane in SLOOOOOOOOOW MOTION with the club above my head and just past parallel to the ground.

You can absolutely feel swinging as you describe it "first drag it toward the plane line . . . then uncock the wrist." It is amazing how much you can feel by doing it slow and then when the club gets outside your hands it "throws out."

Then I did the same thing super slow on the inclined plane and whamo throw and then a nice swivel back up plane . . . all as "God intended" as you say in the video.

Great stuff! Try it really slow and see what you think.

Thanks again!

An excellent way to learn that it is the pivot that produces the 'roll'.

While learning the 'hammer', it can also be helpful to use a 10-2-D grip - an easy way to learn the pure uncocking of the left hand karate chop, and how the pivot and straightening of the right arm relate to Rhythm and throw out.
