My understanding is that the "overlap" in question has to do with the timing of the release of the accumulators. In other words, no overlap would be "release one... okay, now release two...", and total overlap would be one, two and three simultaneously, with most golf swings falling somewhere between these two extremes. Am I barking up the wrong tree, here???

That's kind of what I was thinking it was too?

i agree with both of you guys!!
 

We all agree but my question is what do some players do /experience in their hands that allows them to alter the release of each accumulator and hence vary the degree of overlap?? is it just delaying the accumulator 2 to max trigger?? . If that were the case then early release would lead to sequential and max trigger delay would lead to simultaneous release... but swingers with max trigger delay would have near simultaneous release also... maybe they do...

What sensation in the hands controls it ( assuming we are hands controlled... but maybe thats it... maybe the pivot is the controller here, stroking his white cat, knowing that all the time he was the mastermind after all!!:laughing9 ... OK now i have flambeed the eggs!)

But do you get what i mean?

we agree that the degree of overlap is a spectrum from Zero overlap( pure sequential) all the way to simultaneous ( no overlap)... BuT that most players are in between.

How do you slide yourself up or down the spectrum? Maybe all you can do is delay your accumulator 2 release...

I may be wrong, but I don't think that there is a singular sensation in the hands that you could use to manipulate an increase/decrease in overlap, if for no other reason than power accumulators 1 and 4 aren't even in the hands. Maybe Lynn or somebody could chime in and shed some light on this one?

changes in aiming point is a factor, however the rest of the 'machine' needs to be adjusted accordingly

Thanks EdZ,

can we group together those changes that need to be made to decrease overlap or increase overlap?
