Why? Why? Why?

Baby they were born that way!
 

The hockey player looks to my eye to be using what we'd call a Shoulder Throw .....
His active shoulder takes his bent trail arm close to the ice before he thrusts, bends the shaft along the fore and aft axis against the ice. Sticks bend in that direction far easier than they do in the other direction (top / bottom) given the rectangular design of the shaft when viewed in section. They were made that way.

The horizontal hinging fans will also like to point out the rolling club face er blade post impact. Cant shoot it 100 mph with vertical hinging. The closed face approach to impact is undone during the contact with the ice but releases . The puck leaves square to the blade but spins like a frisbee to make it fly. No backspin. Vertical has it place though....for a high flip shot etc .

I have this suspicion that one reason hockey players make good golfers is that they immediately get how the ball needs to be stuck with a closing face. Well that and the fact that girls love a guy in smart golf attire.

That's why they make good golfers - they don't over-accelerate their hands or as Ben would say, they don't add. :thumright

Never did know what he meant by that.

In Ben's tire drill, one bounce is OK, but more than one means that you added! :naughty:

Still a little foggy, although it might be the eggnog . Merry Christmas LBG.

So the bounce off the impact bag indicates you've added ....what? Can you thrust , Hit and not add? I might be showing my lag of impact bag experience here. Tried a golf car tire once with Yoda ..... one time I pounded some old kids goalie pads I strapped to the stairs in the basement till my wife complained about the noise.

Why is lots of pa3 inconsistent with level left wrist? Care to elaborate that MJ? Higan has both. I find it hard to believe they're inconsistent. You think same goes true for lots of pa3 angle and level left wrist?

For JUST pa3 (with no acute pa3 angle), maybe they're inconsistent. That I can dig, I think, for now, without the yellow book. If you want the power of pa3 roll, and you've got not much pa3 angle, makes sense not having a level left wrist because you need velocity power from pa2, hence you would have to fully unc0ck your left wrist beyond level to maximize pa2 velocity power.

But if you got acute pa3 angle, your pa3 rotational power would be enough, no need for pa2 velocity power because you've already got huge/longer clubhead travel, hence momentum before hitting the ball is bigger. But to roll that pa3, you've got to have level left wrist, otherwise you will be shortening the arc and lessening the pa3 angle, thereby removing the longer clubhead travel/arc and slower clubface closure rate, respectively, brought about by the acute pa3 angle.

What do you think MJ?

I see str8 4-barrel hitting....angled hinging on flat plane....I see layback in a bunch of them hockey shots....paddle wheel motion...drive out...red meat hitting

SWINGING

Not swinging from the feet, no big hip turn turning the shoulders but yes red meat hitting for sure. Right elbow positioned for the out and out push. Not even close to a side arm throw like some golfing hitters do.

I dunno about angled , I see (and feel) a ton of blade rotation for the basic low slapper. All that bending in slow mo may distort the look of the face for a bit but It does roll over quickly.

Its a different deal maybe, that disc wants to be spun so it flies like a frisbee.
