[Delaware Golf]

Ben Doyle is a Master of his craft who helps each student achieve his or her own unique potential.

That said, his well-known preference is for the 3rd Edition's Basic Four Accumulator Pivot Stroke -- "a hypothetically ideal Pattern..." That Pattern (3rd Edition/12-4) features Maximum Component Participation and includes three caveats:

1. Almost any catalogued Component change will simplify it.

2. It requires "the most practice, fortitude and dedication."

3. It is for "the gifted competitor."

When I contacted Ben in 1994, I asked him about the use of the right arm....Ben mailed to me the 4 stroke patterns from the 3rd edition. The 4 barrel pattern contains swinging components.
