Martee,

You want me to:
1) Not quote the book.
2) And you want me to give you references at the same time. :confused:

The reason is that you want some real references. So references from the book are fake and unsubstantiated? :rolleyes:

I will quote myself again:
"The same compression point cannot be maintained during the Impact Interval when using Angled Hinging."

Disagree? Maybe someone with more authority, such as Yoda, can help.

I hope I am not taking you post wrong, but yes something as a reference other than the book. Its based on science, so in attempting to see it, where is it in another reference is my question.

I don't beleive I stated the book was a fake but clearly you are unable based on your response to substantiate it other than with use of the book.

If you were to put a dot on your club face and strike the ball using angled hinging, when you retrieved the ball what would you expect to see? With vertical? With Horizontal? Would the club's loft change the results? Will the ball actually move up the face changing the point of impact to point of separation?

This is somewhat of a subset of the question I have in that the role hinging plays on substaining the line of compression vs other components and their variations.

Assuming all is as stated, then what compensation does a hitter have to do in order to substain the line of compression when using Angled Hinging vs say Horizontal?

Different Perspective
 

Here is another way you can think of the two Secrets of Golf.

The first secret, Sustaining the Line of Compression, concerns the Geometry of the Stroke.

The second secret, Sustaining Clubhead Lag, concerns the Physics of the Stroke.

I don't wish to get into a contest over this topic, but it seems to me that the questions I asked are proper in seeking further understanding especially when it comes down to statements that indicate Homer indeed selected a component variation that requires compensation instead of selecting one that didn't for a pattern. Given that Homer understood what he was doing, there must be a combination that doesn't require compensation and provides a solid effective golf stroke. The heart of my quesiton is 'angled hinging' use what to not require a compensation move and be effective. I understand that a compensation would be something 'extra' or additional to make up for a deficency the way Homer used it.

So I guess the search continues unless someone can maybe clear this up, back it up, or change it.

By the way I thought I understood line of compression and clubhead lag, I just didn't understand the hinging with respect to line of compression as it was being stated, still don't.

Martee...

Keep in mind that in angled hinging the clubface is staying open to the plane...versus horizontal in which it is constantly closing. So...in angled, the motion has no true center.

Not sure about the 'compensation' per se...but it may be this. To offset the layback requires that the clubface be closed at fix to offset the slice inducing tendency.

Horizontal hinging has no such tendency because the face is constantly closing in relation to the inclined plane.

Hope this helps.

Lag
 

Tongz.. very well done, excellent post, although I heard that from you many many times from you over the phone.

Quick question the mop drill, could we say that it is more like a Hitter's drill rather then a swinger drill?

I really keen to find out a definate answer of LAG, imo LAG is more like a feeling rather then .... ..

What do you think about holding a club with a whippy shaft with your finger, and try to swing the clubhead and stress the clubshaft with minimum amount of body and hands motion.

When Hitting -- Drive the wet mop through Impact using muscular Right Arm Thrust, which is directly felt through Pressure Point #1 and #3.

When Swiging -- Drag the wet mop through Impact by turning your left side against your Left Arm, which is directly felt through Pressure Point #4 and indirectly felt through Pressure Point #3.

Either way, it's deliberate, positive and heavy -- constant Loading, constant direction.

That's why if you're using Angled Hinging and you want to hit a perfectly straight shot with no side spin, it's going to be a pull shot. Clubface needs to be closed at Impact (the longer the club implies longer impact interval which means clubface more closed) to allow for the 'opening'.

But I'm not sure if Homer viewed that as a proper 'compensation' (e.g. trying to steer clubface to by bending left wrist). Like you said, the 12-1 and 12-2 Basic Patterns are supposed to be uncompensated strokes.
