Startdown by definition commences when the right shoulder moves toward the plane line. The period of shoulder acceleration.... both shoulders but only the right is aligned to something ... the left goes where it must to accommodate the right.



For full power shots with delayed release the right shoulder will accelerate down the plane and thereby take the fully loaded power accumulators with it. Which includes the (not yet blasting off left arm) or power accumulator #4. If the right shoulder stays back the hands must keep going which means the left arm must leave the chest. Release of #4.



Classically the Swinger spins the flywheel, his pivot , creating a CF, the basic rotational motion of golf while the passive left arm lags behind , stays glued to the chest until such time as the pivot slows and CF throws the left arm off the chest .... the left arm accelerates away from the chest, or blasts off.


Sustain it as long as you can. It , lag pressure as sensed in your hands is directly related to acceleration. You want to accelerate slowly , consistently and for as long as you can, as its so easy to slow down prior to impact. You don't want to start off too fast at a rate of accelerating that is beyond your ability to maintain. Its better to accelerate gradually to be slow and heavy and accelerate at a rate which you can maintain than it is to be light , quick and decelerate prior to impact. Turtle and hare.

I know Homer talked about the swingers quick initial move but that was a "flip of the hips" which spun the shoulders (flywheel) but it only took the golfer from End to Top . Quick "initial" not quick and lasting. Nothing to do with quick initial club head acceleration which always causes problems.

Uh I think that perhaps its my answers which are foolish.... wouldn't be the first time. We're in this together Air.

I cant imagine reading Homer with English as a second language. Please know that not all of our authors are so confusing. Have you read anything by Marshall McLuhan? :)

Thanks for your answer. It's always helpfull to read your explanations. In that regard you and Yoda are easier to read than Homer.
