[quote=brownman;60680]You may have hit the nail on the head OB,I know Im doing something basically wrong here.
A couple of questions if I may(this mey turn on some lights)
1...whats the difference between "float" and V/drop
2...what is compatible with the two and what is a no-no with each
Hope you follow me......with thanks[/QUOTE




Being entirely underqualified to answer this Id say:

1. Vertical drop is in reference to the hands dropping straight down when viewed from a down the line perspective when regarding a golfer who employs a plane shift in transition. Dont think "vertical drop" is in the book but plane shift sure is. This is from a higher plane to a lower plane. From say the turned shoulder plane to the elbow plane. Just one way of doing things.

Float loading is one of the three defined ways to load the power accumulators. Drag (normally a swingers thing), drive (hitter) and float. Float being like say Byron Nelson who didnt have a lot left wrist cock say at top but saw it increase some on the way down. It applies to all the power accumulators though, not just #2.

As a side issue a person who employs a shift to a lower plane in transition can optically be perceived to be float loading when he really isnt (or isnt too the degree you think you see). This illusion is due to the more oblique angle on which we regard his #2 left wrist cock.

2. I got nothing. Help me somebody!

But knowing that you are a hitter, I would say the hitter normally stops at top and in so doing keeps the #3 pp in place on the first joint in the index finger, focuses more on the right forearm flying wedge, the frozen right wrist, the pressure points 1 and 3, an active hard boxers like punch extension of the right arm in delivery and doesnt have a lot of feel for #2 or #3. Angled hinging being a no roll feel.

Take a look at this hitting genius; click on "ted wedge side view".

Bet this little wedge is going about 145 yards or so. Nice little #1 there, aint it.

Dont let the swingers #2 left wrist cock intoxicate/fool you, its not the only story on power, pretty though it is. I liken it to the push up bra, me being a hitter and all. Sometimes things aren't as massive as advertised.
