2-N-1 FORCE VECTORS Actually, the orbit of the Clubhead (7-23) is a resultant force (2-C-1). That is, it is the product of two divergent forces – one outward and one downward.

A. The Outward Force results from the action of the Shoulder Turn (2-H) and/or the Right Arm Thrust (6-B-1) if there is any of either. Otherwise, the Lever Assemblies are pushed or swung outward from the Hinges (2-G).
B. The Downward Force results from the action of Axis Tilt (Hip Slide – 7-14) and/or the Uncocking Left Wrist (2-P) if there is any of either. Otherwise, the Lever Assemblies are dropped, pulled or pushed downward from their fulcrums (6-A).

These two forces are “balanced out” (held On Plane 7-19) by Clubhead Lag (Hitting 10-19-A) or by Centrifugal Force (Swinging 10-19-C). So, On Plane Motion (2-F) automatically duplicates – but cannot annul (and should not obscure) – those Vector Forces (2-C-1).

Cliffsnotes:

In the first sentence of the above Quote, HK says that the path of the clubhead orbit is not magic. It was was caused or results by combining two divergent force vectors. One outward and one downward.


Paragraph A and the first paragraph of B, explains every conceivable combination of the two force vectors (One outward and one downward) for any conceivable stroke pattern included in Pivot strokes, non-pivot strokes, and whether hitting or swinging.

So, Balanced out, means held on-plane. In the "Basic" Stroke patterns of 12-1-0 and 12-2-0, these forces hold the Right shoulder on-plane during the downstroke.

The Right Shoulder moving On-Plane toward the Base Line is caused by, results from, a Balanced Out Force. But the Force of the Right Shoulder is an On-Plane Force (hopefully it's on-plane).



2nd paragraph of B. refers to the release interval as the Clubhead goes into its own orbit.

"but cannot annul" means that the On-Plane Clubhead orbit looks like a simple on-plane force. The On-Plane force is a duplicate force. But that doesn't hide, alter or undo the fact that it was caused by two divergent forces. The Clubhead orbit results from them.

"(and should not obscure)" means that the Clubhead should only get its orbit direction from these forces and not from other forces (such as the hands, which can obscure (change their effect) them). So, don't use the Hands to create an On-plane force (unless you do it intentionally). Hands are clamps.

2-N-1 FORCE VECTORS Horizontal and Vertical Force Vectors from the Pivot combine into an On-Plane Force to direct the Right Shoulder and Clubhead. This Force directs the Clubhead on its correct path during release and impact. Don't forget that and try to correct problems by manipulating the Clubhead path like a hacker when the real cause is your bad Pivot. And don't screw it up by using your hands to force and direct the Clubhead through impact thinking you can beat the system (unless you're really good at swinging the club).
