You hit the ball with clubhead, clubhead attached to shaft, shaft moved as part of power package...what starts the power package in orbit? ...the pivot...we agree on this. But can the pivot still spin the power package after accumulator 4 has started to release?? Sure , the pivot is still doing work... but is that work merely accomodating power package motion? Once you release accumulator 2... can you muscle it more to release accumulator 2 harder?? If you do try , are you more likely to upset your alignments? I think that once an accumulator has been released....further muscle power is unadvisable. And what causes release of acc. 4? I think - in a pivot stroke - it is pivot motion. In a pivot stroke, once you release accumulator 4.... can your pivot add more force? or is it just controlling direction? The pivot is responsible for the GENERATION of Angular Momentum. And instrumental in determining low point and handle location. So maybe if you have too much axis tilt you have to do something compensatory via the right arm to get the handle in the right location. Let me ask you a question . . . if you release #4 and your head moves down and back is that "subtracting"? AND . . . What causes #4 angle to expand thereby expanding the rest of the accumulator angles propelling them seek their in-line relationship? __________________ Aloha Mr. Hand Behold my hands; reach hither thy hand 12 piece bucket View Public Profile Send a private message to 12 piece bucket Find all posts by 12 piece bucket
