Homer believed the path to an Automatic Snap Release was via a Non Automatic Trigger. The common Swingers Non Auto Trigger being the Left Wrist Throw. 10-20-E The advantage of this Active Vertical hammering is that it makes Horizontal motion less likely and also gives you more DOWN and therefore OUT. So less Steering and more In to Out on the Approach Angle. See 2-C-0. The hacker typically tries to take the back of the ball right towards the hole , a misguided application of linear force. Logical but fatal for a side on game played with hooked clubs and a circular orbit. For balls played back of low point, most every shot therefore the ball is taken DOWN , OUT and FORWARD. For pure compression the Sweetspot on the clubface must stay in contact with the ball as if welded together and together they must travel Down and Out (to right field), the Inclined Plane demands it. The ball leaves at 90 degrees to the face at Separation meaning the face is Open at Impact. The geometry is not what everyone thinks it is at first. The Active application of a Downward force will give you some Out given the Angled Plane..............a great thing for the new TGM er to add to his impact geometry. Add some Horizontal Hinging and voila! PUre compression. Im wondering if this application of Downward force is best perceived as an On Plane force or a truly Downward force? Homer said that the On Plane travel of the Clubhead was a result of divergent forces after all. The Pivot providing the OUT, the Left Hand uncocking providing the DOWN etc etc . See the 2-N-1 Force Vectors. Do we Hammer Down and just let the PIvot and CF take it along the Inclined Plane? Maybe Im talking crazy talk? Again. City, with all due respect................we are taking thread jacking to new level again. Even Mike O. would disapprove and he is the ThreadMasta Jacka of all time. Future generations trying to archive our insights will have one heck of time unearthing these pearls of wisdom. We must protect our legacy for future generations , the Alignment Golfers who will follow us in this quest. Why dont you start a thread on the Yoda video. There is a lot to discuss there. Lynn has added a wrinkle to the Throw, maybe, I think. A good one too. Or maybe he just asked Homer for clarification? I dunno. Last edited by O.B.Left : 05-11-2010 at 10:26 AM.
