Kinda. Here's what I'm saying . . . imagine you have a string with a weight on the end. You start swinging it around in a circle with some of the string still left in your hand. Now you let some of the string out so the radius effectively just got longer. Assuming uniform circular motion (you don't add torque or force to speed it up), angular momentum will be conserved. So when you had the relatively smaller circle the weight traveled faster in terms of RPMs. But once you extended the radius the RPMs (angular velocity) DECREASED inorder to conserve angular momentum (=MassXAngularVelocityXRadius). The mass is constant so when the radius gets bigger or smaller as a result the RPMs must increase or decrease accordingly. BUT . . . with the larger radius you are picking up Tangential Velocity as a result of the weight being farther from the center of rotation.

So basically radius increases then angular velocity decreases BUT tangential speed increases. This is what Homer meant by Surface Speed. The RPM of the entire system is decreasing as the radius is extended but clubhead speed surface speed increases geometrically as a result of the EXTENSION and not the effort to create more handspeed.

This is why Homer said the Swinger needs a quick start down. As a result of the lever assembly being out-of-line due to wrist cock it is easier to accelerate because its moment of inertia is smaller (think of the string deal with the smaller circle). With a smaller radius you can really get the thing whipping around (accelerating angularly) fast. So you have jacked up the rpms of the system via the out of line condition (shortened radius). Then as the lever assembly gets extented via the uncocking surface speed gets multiplied because the clubhead is further from the center. Thus Homer says the Swinger cranks the gyroscope and then just hangs on. You don't need to "add" you just need to EXTEND. The extension is the mechanical advantage via the conservation of angular momentum. It is LAW. Law don't take no lunch breaks.

Now as far as the steering question. Yes. I think the right arm can certianly cause steering (bending the plane line). But what I was talking about was the #3 accumulator left wrist rolling. I tend to roll it left thus bending the plane line rather than rolling it ON THAT LINE. See the video below . . .

That's rolling out on plane while tracing a straight.

I agree 110% about the need to "roll on line" and the associated difficultly. However, I lean very, very, much to strictly keeping identities separate. Throwout is what it is - cetrifugal force generated by the massive rotar (body). Keep this force related to any plane you choose by maintaining clubhead lag pressure and tracing with the #3 pressure point (passive use of clubhead lag pressure). Swinger's release swivel is what it is - actual rotation of hands, forearms. #3 Accumulator roll/hinge action is what it is. IDEALLY release swivel, # 3 accumulator roll/hinge action, specifically, simply ride one's chosen plane. Cetainly, executing these actions incorrectly, or adding to their identity can cause off plane motion (eg over-roll). So I don't know if I'd say #3 accumulator roll, swivel are Outward motions. They are what they are. Thiinking of these as outward motions, I believe, would cause over roll. Plane on which you direct force dictates outward. Perform swivel/ hinge action on this plane.

Great stuff about Tangential Velocity (linear velocity) - another thing I have to study.

Bucket Theory - All Wet?
 

Many times I have bashed the Bucket online here.

Not this time. Good post! :salut:

I would only add that for me the uncocking is a byproduct of the motion. The feel I get is that the left wrist cocks and remains so until both arms are straight. I can feel different hinge geometry, but not the uncocking its own self.

We are not at odds on this for sure . . . My postion as far as the OUT deal is this . . . I think I have been rolling underplane and for me it has to be OUT. And it is OUT as a result of going downplane on plane. So you are correct.

The only thing about swinging though is things happen so fast when the club changes ends that keeping the identies of swivel hinge swivel separate is difficult particularly with snap releases. So for me it is SLING it down and out on plane. I am having to focus on out because there ain't enough out there.

Which brings into question the often mentioned 'straight left arm'.

Indeed, there are multiple consistency benefits of extensor action, but properly understood and utilized, allowing a bent left arm is a power source.

Thanks bucket,
trying to get the words right for crossover information as you know. Good about the fast start down.

Dark Side
 

Great! One more moving to the dark side! Have a spine! Who cares if it is a good post! Bash the Bucket I say - Bash the Bucket! Everyone after me - "Bash the Bucket!"

Uppndownn- It's a slippery slope- trust me, next you'll have a Bucket of Chicken at the house that you'll be praying to-:notworthy :pray:

My goal is to have that little Bucket Head- :hang: - and I won't stop until I accomplish my goal.

P.S. For all members of my Bucket Brigade- we do have our normal conference call on Wednesday at 4PM- just because it is th 4th of July, we can't prevent that from our assault planning. Please call in promptly at 4PM- signed your President.

To Each His Own
 

Understood, cp. But, you are YGM. That is...

Your Golfing Machine.

And the more you understand your Machine, the more precision you can add to it.

In the end, that is all any of us can do. Namely, through diligent effort, bring more and more precision to the component relationships that comprise our own Golf Stroke.

Thank you for your many contributions to our site.

Here's to you and YOUR Golfing Machine.

:salut:

Mike let's back off the Juicy Juice a little buddy. The sugar does things to your brain cell. Remember the last time you drank all that Hi-C we had to get you out of jail because of "the goat incident." Let's not do that again OK? Go eat a few crackers. You need to get your sugar level down. The Wiggles come on at 9:30 so go watch and eat your crackers.

Bucket Bashing
 

The Buck makes such a easy bash target, it is hard to resist.

But this time I do think he is on to something. I do reserve the right to

change my opinion, though.
