Better late than never, What were the 5 imperatives?
|
The 5 Imperatives showed up in the 2nd Edition:
1) Stationary Head
2) Balance
3) Rhythm
4) Flat Left Wrist
5) Clubhead Lag
They remained the same for the 3rd Edition.
The change took place in the 4th Edition which remains the same today. This was the beginning of the 3 Imperatives with the 3 Essentials.

Interesting stuff! And it gets even more interesting because there wereactually Eight Imperatives in the 2nd and 3rd editions!
The first five referenced above did not have a paragraph reference of theirown. Instead, they appeared in the first paragraph of 2-0 General. Andthen there were...
The Three Hand Action Imperatives of 6-H-0 written in all capitals:
6-H-0. Imperatives. The most troublesome features to masterare these three Hand Action Imperatives.
A. ALLOW NOT THE SLIGHTEST UNINTENTIONAL CHANGE OF PRESSURE POINT PRESSURE;
B. ALLOW NOT THE SLIGHTEST MOVE TO PREPARE TO SWING THE CLUB FROM THE WRIST;
C. ALLOW NOT THE SLIGHTEST PREPARATION TO BRING THE HANDS TO A STOP.
(Unless, of course, the Stroke Pattern specifically rules otherwise.)
These Three Hand Imperatives found their ultimate identity as Quitting,the Second of the Four Snares. They now exist only as a memory and as thegenesis of 3-F-7-B. Like 'Dear Old Great-Grandad,' they are gone, but notforgotten.
And now you know...
The rest of the story!
