Please note that this is in the lab section... thoughts expressed for discussion...not trying to tell anyone what to do... . You guys in USA have been busy celebrating Thanksgiving but in UK it is just cold and miserable and I have had time on my hands...so here goes...

Dowels can teach alignments ( geometry ...the "G" in G.O.L.F.) but they alone cannot simulate or teach or simulate the forces ( the "F" in G.O.L.F.).

The recognition of these forces and manipulating the direction of thrust allow hands controlled pivot ... within the constraints provided by stationary something, balance and rhythm.

I was looking for a way to combine the purity of dowel alignment with an element of force or physics. It is my belief that if the brain fully understands the task involved in directing force appropriately... all of the good positions in "position golf" are created...but in a way that is easier to remember and reproduce.

Here are 2 images ( apology to Ted - not many hitters photos i could find!! PLEASE NOTE TED HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS RAMBLE!!!)




Comments??

These are only meant to teach 7-19 and demonstrate the consequences of loading for hit or swing on 7-3... ie. lag loading and its consequent effect on right forearm alignments and pp3 location at transition...

Please note that a "mini dowel" is essentially grip with laser in butt end to trace staright plane line and attachment to bungee or pulley as appropriate :

- The Swingers mini dowel attaches at tip of grip...to promote a longitudinal pull.
- The hitters mini dowel attaches to bungee at back of shaft around pp3

Also the angle of pulley on the swingers system can be moved to align with the turned shoulder plane to ensure an on plane pull.

Disclaimer :- Please be careful with rope...it is very close to your neck and golf can be a depressing game!!

Finally the "Secret" is revealed, for the "Loading" and initial "Sustaining" parts. Close enough to the overall picture.

The "Sustaining" through impact is what it is all about.

Good Job!
