A third and final post relates to any drill emphasizing the Overtaking of the Hands by the Club. For example: Swinging with the Left Arm only; or with the Right Arm only; or with a Club in both hands (and keeping them parallel throughout the Stroke).

Training For Results

When the training emphasizes the correct alignments, drills can yield valuable results.

Each Hand has its respective function and should be trained independently to perform it. Left Wrist Action controls the Clubhead position (See the subheading of 10-18 ) on the face of the Inclined Plane. The Left Hand Hinge Action controls the Clubface alignment in relation to its selected Plane of Motion -- Horizontal, Angled or Vertical -- through Impact. The Right Hand (through Pressure Points #1 and #3) provides the Active Drive of the Clubhead -- actually the entire Primary Lever Assembly -- for Hitters and the Acceleration Control of the Clubhead for both Hitters and Swingers. When combined with the Right Forearm Tracing of the Plane Line, it also controls the essential geometry of the Clubhead's Line of Flight through Impact (2-N-0).

In doing drills that emphasize the Clubhead Overtaking understand these three things:

1. The Shaft Rotates around the Sweet Spot (and not the other way around);

2. The Hands Rotate about each other; and

3. There is a definite Clubhead (Sweet Spot) Overtaking of the Hands during the Impact Interval.

An intellectual understanding of these points is one thing. Knowing them is another.

Their Clarion Call is Rhythm (See The Glossary and 6-B-3-0).

Two Questions....

#1-- How does Hinge Action relate to OVERTAKING RATE?

#2-- With the usual emphasis on Forward Leaning Shafts, Impact Bag Drills, etc. in many TGMers...it seems that this Clubhead Overtaking process could be stifled? Without proper education and conceptualization of this portion of the STROKE, may problems, like the one above, could arise! Proper programming of the Computer... like with your drills, should help.
