I would love to see him become a member of this forum so he can give his thoughts and experiences on TGM. 3JACK Kenny Perry is a great golfer too. I have nothing to say about how low a golfer scores or the color of his socks. I do think, “If you’re going to talk the talk, you’ve got to walk the walk”. Quote: “He says he drive loads with the right arm so I wouldn't label him a 'swinger.' 4-barrel...I have no idea how exactly you would tell that.” Because one cannot “Drive” with a Pitched Elbow. The Downward and Reverse Bend in the Clubshaft is not an optical illusion and not a simple matter of that D-2 Swingweight. When he Uncocked his Right Wrist, it threw the Clubhead Down-Plane. The Clubhead is no longer Lagging regardless of the distance it trails. Lag-pressure and Accumulator Pressure are lost. He Straightens the Right Elbow during the Downswing which forces the Club to release early, in-lieu of using Power Package Structure and an Arm Acceleration Sequence. He has no choice and cannot bring a Stressed Clubshaft into Impact. Throw-Away. You cannot Out-Run CF no matter how much effort. The Right Arm Throw is a Trigger. Substituting the Right Arm Throw for the Hand Throw does not make you a Hitter. He must swing using these (his) procedures because of the Elbow Plane. His Right Elbow has so much Bend at the Top, that unless he begins straightening the Right Elbow from the Top, he'll be hopelessly above Plane at Release. Don’t confuse straightening the Right Elbow during the Downswing with Hitting. Hitting is Driving the Clubshaft by Straightening the Right Elbow during Release and Impact from a Punch Elbow position. This is Typical of Professional Golfers. I'm not dissing him. There is only ONE WAY to bring a Stressed Clubshaft into Impact. Quote: 2-M-1 BASIC POWER Clubhead power is directly proportional to its Kinetic Energy which is expressed as “one half the mass multiplied by the square of velocity (1/2MV2).” Clubhead velocity is developed by Thrust, which is an Acceleration Force, and Thrust, herein, is normally constant regardless of the velocity it produced. See 6-F-1. This Thrust may be Muscular Force and /or Centrifugal Force. Power is the total effective Force that is impinged on the Ball – which is related to the Angular Momentum of the Clubhead Mass, as well as to the prestressed Clubshaft (6-C-2) and the sustaining or driving actions of the above mentioned Thrust – all of which contribute resistance to Impact Deceleration (2-E). “Centrifugal Accleration” (per 2-K) is staunchly proportional to the Angular Speed of its Center and reaches a maximum speed almost instantly after Release and tries to remain constant. With Drive Loading (10-19-A) the outward pull of Centrifugal Force tends to conceal but cannot cancel the considerable contribution of a prestressed (Bent) Clubshaft, though it is Bent even more at Separation. Bold and RED by Daryl. So, don't release early and don't use a procedure that causes an early release. Last edited by Daryl : 07-05-2009 at 02:03 PM.
