So then my question is what exactly is the swing called where you start your Pivot down and manually fire the right arm down?
OK, I'm back in focus!

I feel like I have so much more confidence since seeing Lynn and understanding how important hips and grips are. I feel like the MacDonald drills really emphasize correct motions. With the correct grip, and understanding the Flail and RFT, anything, even Four Accumulator hitting is possible! That is my new goal.

That said, my first conversation with Homer Kelley was by telephone in June1980. There were three people on that call: Homer, Tom Tomasello and me. Two ofthose three are now dead, and listening to the stilled voices on the tape wemade has been a primary driver for my posts over the past six weeks. I feel atremendous responsibility and sense of mission to share with you what I havelearned.

On that call -- which I have transcribed for this post word-for-word -- is whatHomer Kelley emphatically said about the 4-barrel Swing:

"The idea of using a Four Accumulator Swing is extemely difficult, and Iwould say totally inadvisable. It can be done...maybe somebody candevelop a skill...enough skill to handle it...but I wouldn't teach it to anybody...theFour Accumulator Swing."

"I would teach a Four Accumulator Hitting because you can use theRight Shoulder Turn for Acceleration in Hitting, too. But...Hitting andSwinging do not mix. They simply to do not mix."

Three weeks or so ago -- time is rolling on here! -- I said I would post areply to DG's well-reasoned post on how he would transition a 3-Barrel Swingerto a 4-Barrel Swinger. The subject of my pending post is how to transitionto a 4-Barrel Hitter, which I feel, based on my work with Homer andmy understanding of TGM, is more advisable for those who would pursue thepinnacle of the Four Accumulator Stroke. I wrote the first draft of that postalmost immediately but time demands have prevented the final polish. At theconclusion of the Hinge and Magical Right Forearm Classes, I will revisit thisarea.

It is ripe for exploration -- "A ball of fun" said Homer --for all serious students of The Golfing Machine.
