I agree that the right wrist bend (wrist extension) is not an accumulator but we can see with swings like VJ and Phil that the bottom wrist bend is moving quickly towards a flat condition... meaning that the wrist is flexing towards the palm of the hand.

If the goal is to maintain a RFFW, does acc3 have to be released only to a certain degree? (maybe thats a misleading way to put it... )
I'm not sure that it's not an Accumulator. Flattening the Right Wrist at Impact meets the Definition of an Accumulator.

Quote:
Power Accumulators are out-of-line conditions of the Power Package Components. Out-of-line simply means “not in a straight line from end to end.” Releasing them to seek their in-line condition releases their stored potential. Varying the amount of out-of-line and/or the amount of muscular effort will vary the accumulation of Power that can be Released by the selected Triggering action. Accumulators are numbered in the order of their probable widest use in Stroke Type Combination's.

When the Pros Flatten the Right Wrist (Driver Tee Shots), they are timing the motion with Impact to bring about as much Clubhead Velocity as they can Muster without Over-swinging. They must "Time" the action because there is no automatic Trigger to Flatten the Right Wrist. It certainly adds Clubhead Speed (at the Expense of Clubface Control).

What we call throwaway, they call Accumulator.


I played that way on Sunday. It added 15 yards to all clubs except for wedges. I missed 16 greens. My inside Right Forearm muscles hurt like hell on Monday and Tuesday. I'm not doing that again. (Well, maybe off the Tee I only missed two Fairways)

The comparison that I would make is that provides a Three Barrel Stroke Distance. The Ball travels farther than my normal Two Barrel Stroke but no Farther than my Three Barrel Stroke (When I can do it). BUT, it's no-where as accurate as my Three Barrel Stroke. With my normal two or three barrel stroke, I would hit 16 greens; not miss them.

I don't think that you can pick up a Club, have Yoda walk you through the Alignments for a Three Barrel Stroke, and you can walk away with a Three Barrel Stroke for life. I wish it were that Simple. It takes a lot of Practice and Playing and more than most Golfers are willing or able to dedicate. It requires enormous Precision for a Three Barrel Stroke to out-perform a good Two Barrel Stroke. But, the reward is distance and control. A well performing Three Barrel Stroke is probably Scratch Golf on just about any Golf Course you can Play.
