Massive, weak push. swing 2 - my mind/body won't let that happen again. Smother hook. swing 3 - paralysis 3Putt This isn't mysticism. The only Mind response is either understanding or confusion. The Only thing that you're teaching the Mind, is to handle more frustration. Give you mind more information (knowledge). If you put an airplane into a Tail Spin, it will do so all on its own all of the way into the ground. The same with Golf Mechanics. Every next motion is the result of the previous dependant motion added with newly introduced motions. EXAMPLE: Ben Doyles "Catching the tail of the dog" after "Sitdown" is a motion/action to sycronize the #3 Accumulator Roll. It did not cause the Roll, but added something to it. Homer Kelley said: Quote: Normally, only Swingers with their Standard Wrist Action (10-18-A) “Swivel” – that is, actually rotate the Left Wrist – through the Release into its Vertical Position for Impact. That must be pre-programmed not later than The Top per 8-6. Have a clear picture of the intended Impact Hand Position all the way down – NOT the process of achieving it. But all players must “Swivel” – actually rotate their Wrists – into the “parallel to the Plane” position for the Finish (8-12) after the Follow-through. And: Quote: By deliberately initiating the Wrist Roll at any point before reaching the end of the Delivery Path Line, the Non-Automatic version can be produced. The second quote means to slightly arch your Left Wrist anytime during the delivery path (is the WAY) to OVERRIDE the Automatic swivel. Such times are needed in very short motions like chip shots where an automatic swivel would have needed about 4 feet of Clubhead travel. See VJ Trolio and Greg McHatton, both are examples of Non-Automatic versions of the Swivel. They Pre-Swivel(before uncocking). This way, your hands won't swivel because you removed the MECHANISM that allows a Swivel (Centrifugal Force causes the Un-Bending of the Left Wrist and Rotation around the longitudinal Center of Gravity of the Golf Club). But you still need the Left Hand in Swiveled Alignment so it's call a Non-Automatic Swivel. __________________ Daryl Last edited by Daryl : 06-01-2009 at 01:41 PM.
