Nice drawings.

But I dont get the sweet spot not traveling with the clubheads travel.

Travel is dependent on Hinge Type but only via the #3 Accumulator angle, the angle at the left arm and club when seen from DTL. The more angle the more travel. You can zero out #3 by going in line like we do when putting say with less send resulting. In this case the travel associated with all Hinge Actions would be the same.

But, Im thinking that if the clubhead travels so does the sweet spot, no? Although sometimes I do feel like Ive left my sweet spot behind, some place.

oohh...sorry...I made a correction to the post.

Pressure Points sense the CG of the Clubhead. Accumulators Speed up the CG of the Clubhead. Accumulator Pressure adds Mass to the Clubhead. Hinging controls the Clubface Rotation.


Slicer Mcgolf was asking if the greater club head travel distance with a Horizontal Hinge created a faster moving Clubhead than an Angled Hinge with its comparatively shorter Clubhead travel distance.

A Hinge isn't an Accumulator. Hinging is Clubface motion.

In an Automatic Release: No, but the Clubhead moves faster because it uses an additional Accumulator (#3 in a sequenced Release). Not because of Face Rotation.

So, basically, Accumulator #3 Hand Motion (4-D-0) is “Clubface Control,” “Rhythm Control,” and “Roll Power Control” of the Right Elbow (7-3). Study 2-G and 7-20.

AND

The Accumulator #3 motion must be accommodated in the Impact alignment or it will (with great loss of Power) produce a Quitting of the Hand Motion and/or a Quitting of the Overtaking action in an effort to avoid Pulled Shots.

The above "quotes" basically say, that the #3 Accumulator Roll should "Overlay" the Hinge Action. (Occur at exactly the same time). In other words, if you Start the Roll too early (Elbow Plane) then you're gonna need three right hands to drive the club through the ball so you don't quit and/or pull the ball off the golf-course. You'll "Roll" then "Hinge". But you won't do it for long because only poor shots result so you'll give up Rolling or Hinging or Both.

In a Non-Automatic Release: No, because Accumulators #2-3 are Simultaneous. The Clubface Rotates around the Center of Gravity of the Clubhead, not "A Hinge Pin" perpendicular to the Horizontal Plane. The #3 Accumulator is negated.
