Sorry for the following Vapid Post.


"The Motion makes the shot" is one of HK's sayings. When HK claims that "each (shot) must have its own Total Motion", he is saying that each of the 24 components must be dealt with by either using or zeroing out one variation in each component. The word "Total" means a 'complete' "Stroke Pattern". I offer the following quotes to support the definition of "Total"


Curriculum Intent:

I believe that the intent of the Curriculum, is to teach each of the three Zones. First learn "Hands", then, when adding the "Arms", it will become clear whether the "Arms" are affecting the proper execution of the Hands. Then add the "Pivot" and it will become clear whether the Pivot is affecting Zone 1 and 2.

Please read the following quotes from the 6th and 7th Editions. (Bold by Daryl)


...and in the 7th Edition (Lord forgive me)

I feel as if all three zones really do offer insights to the Hands, primarily. But. like mastering musical scales, each insight gives you appreciation for the other notes and vibrations.

Having allowed myself a full Pivot, now, and after watching "The Address Routine" premium videos for the 20 th time or so, I realized that Ted and Yoda's hand positions were really informed by their Impact Fix rehearsal. But Jeff made a comment that he and Ted are feeling the same things.

I started seeing RFT and my right hand on plane for swinging and hitting. I remembered one of the instructors, Jeff, I think, talking about trusting his right hand to square up by itself, meaning it was open to the BLP until it did square up by itself.

When I marched back a little to form my Impact Fix tonight, I felt that excellent weight on # 3 PP. I remembered the heavy mop. I froze my right hand on plane as I waggled with hitting and swinging motion. I "Put my mind in my hands." I held the palm of my right hand facing the sky as I did RFT over and over. I could feel the lag of the weight of my hand (in # 3 PP) in both hitting and swinging with my right palm on plane! Awesome!

Full marching Pivot=swing and # 3 PP was underneath the club. Acquired Motion
hit with right palm up and the transition pressure against # 3 was caught and then I carried it with my right palm up, so far down it was ridiculous! JerryG called me last night and described this to me and I figured it out, today.

And then the hinges made a lot more sense because of the Pivot. Angled Hinge on a hit with my 9.5 degree Adams driver. The ball just kept going up! I thought I was mistakenly rolling to a vertical hinge! It was just my right hand on plane through the shot carrying #3 PP lag well past impact. The Horizontal Hinge rolled all by itself during the swing as I tried like hell to hold my right palm up past my front foot. The Pivot made it very doable! The ball didn't seem to mind the wind blowing at us on the range.

As I got comfortable with the feeling of the right palm up (on plane), all my strokes seemed shorter with more bite and explosion of the ball off the club face. I realized that my Power Package was truly stationary for the first time as the Pivot just delivered a beating to the range balls.

I kept looking!!! I had bumbled on a heavy Extensor Action in earlier rounds that allowed me to shoot some low 80's. But the heavy EA, would tighten up my driver and shoulder on the downswing with tension causing some nasty snaps. The heavier EA has something in common with the right palm facing the sky at Impact Fix;it preserves that palm position!

Severe Bent Right Wrist helped me shoot an 81. Uhmm, right palm facing the sky until my right arm ran out of stretch! Now, with the Pivot, Right palm to sky=BRW= # 3PP lag carry = to finish =never ending lag.

With wedges, 9 iron, 4 iron, hybrid, driver (and I'll try the putter, too), the ball jumped off the clubs, tonight. My Pivot showed me my right palm on plane, lag, # 3 PP and my mind in my hands!

I just have to remember not to hit my driver, tomorrow on all but are longest holes. The ground is so hard. I also have to remember that the ball lands more softly on the greens, not the fairway!

Thanks fellas!
