You hit the ball with clubhead, clubhead attached to shaft, shaft moved as part of power package...what starts the power package in orbit? ...the pivot...we agree on this. But can the pivot still spin the power package after accumulator 4 has started to release?? Sure , the pivot is still doing work... but is that work merely accomodating power package motion? Once you release accumulator 2... can you muscle it more to release accumulator 2 harder?? If you do try , are you more likely to upset your alignments? I think that once an accumulator has been released....further muscle power is unadvisable. And what causes release of acc. 4? I think - in a pivot stroke - it is pivot motion. In a pivot stroke, once you release accumulator 4.... can your pivot add more force? or is it just controlling direction? I think you hit the proverbial nail on the head. Many golfers think that the Pivot is like a three stage rocket. That’s the problem. It’s not. It’s not how fast you can turn, it’s that you must keep turning and add Pivot Action. Pivot doesn’t control direction (unless you have Pivot Controlled Hands). In Hands Controlled Pivot, the Hands sense alignments and the Pivot responds. Jeff Hull was saying this earlier or in another thread. He won’t let the Pivot take-over or do its job if he senses that it’s taking his hands, club, out of alignment. __________________ Daryl Daryl View Public Profile Send a private message to Daryl Find all posts by Daryl
