Aren't all accumulators basically connected? When you blast the left arm off your chest, your right arm has to straighten, which uncocks the left wrist. Only the 3rd accumulator doesn't have to be released when all the other accumulators are...

Correct . . . The release sequence is predicated on the left arm otherwise nothing happens.

So no matter what your procedure the sequence is

1. #4 Left arm moving down the chest
2. #1 The right arm unbending
3. #2 The left wrist uncocking
4. #3 The angle between the left arm and shaft is rolled through the ball

Jeff, once again your great question provided the rest of us with a deeper level of understanding. As well as some humour that also brought light to places where the sun dont shine.

"B" to "F", you're killing me, Bucket.

Bucket, Is #3 rolled THROUGH the ball or does it roll TO just shy of the ball at which time hinge action takes over and takes the club face and the left hand to perpendicular. I am also wondering whether the "Roll" of "Delivery Line Roll Prep" is #3 or a hinge action or both.

Sorry for taking this thread further away from #4.

Yo . . .

Per Mr. K . . . 6-B-3

Accumulator #3 should never be “Out-of-Line – instead, it seeks to MAINTAIN its radial alignment with the Left Arm and Left Wrist vertical to its associated Plane.

The established #3 angle at fix sets up lots of thangs really. And per the above that angle SEEKS to be maintained through the ball. Otherwise if you disrupt it you are going to disrupt your hinging and the clubface alignments can potentially be outta whack.

What is it...the fried chicken or the egg?

I thought that the more your hands become the command post the more the pivot is a responsive action i.e. getting out of the way of the mittens...to make sure there is no hint of the collision nature will not allow (CNWNA for short) to happen, namely hips and hands! No doubt the pivot is trained...but eventually it responds to the assignment the hands have been given...say an all expenses paid simultaneous back up and in trip to a location on the turned shoulder plane, right? To me there is no greater concept to understand...the old hands to pivot deal.

I reread your post...I'm tripping...never mind! Much to do about nuttin'

you can view the full release of #4 from a geometric standpoint, or a physics standpoint, ideally both combined.

Geometrically, #4 is fully released effectively at 90 degrees to the ground.

The physics perspective 'can' have #4 pressure through to nearly both arm straight, with the appropriate axis tilt, delivery paths and planes working in the proper sequences and angles. Remember that the right arm is not straight until follow thru, and ideally the right wrist remains bent.

4 barrels are needed to really do that IMO.

The "roll" is power accumulator #3- transfer power of #2's uncocking of velocity power. It is not a hinge action until the clubface begins to close on the ball at impact. Roll starts much earlier- startdown.

one other point. A proper start down, hip action- right shoulder thrust -cranking the gyro shown in Lynn's "hitting and Swinging video" sets the sweetspot on plane. It sounds like some of you need to steer the club and hands on plane. Let the hands teach the pivot, then let it rip. you will be on plane which means all direction is Down Out and Through simultenously. Not performed seperately.

So the "roll" of "DELIVERY LINE ROLL PREP" (cant do the italics needed for roll) is the release swivel and the hinge action ie any roll of the #3 angle, however or when ever it be rolled?

Am I right in thinking the #3 angle decreases through the ball as the left wrist un cocks from level at impact to uncocked at I dunno, follow through maybe?

I set the #3 angle level at fix and make an effort to go all the way down and out to uncocked, the full extension of the left arm and club. Its working great please dont tell me its wrong.

Maybe I dont understand Homer's radial alignment maintenance.

O.B.
