And the reason for that contact was simple: I had begun studying The Book, and there was no way I could figure out what that woman in 10-10 was doing with all that armor on her arm and shoulder! Well, by the grace of God and with Homer's help, I finally got it. Unfortunately, present day Seekers do not have the advantage I did. And that is why I am now posting on this site. I suspect that many of you "out there" are in the same predicament now as I was"way back then." If that is the case, then this is your chance! Don't hold back because you are new to The Golfing Machine, or because you are not yet comfortable with "the lingo, "or because you spend your site time merely lurking about, trying to make sense of it all. Get involved! As Homer would say, "Fly at it!" You can't believe how ignorant I was at one time with this stuff! Homer had me -- by telephone mind you -- Pivoting my body first to the right and then to the left; moving my Arm first North, then South; all the while keeping my Flat Left Wrist vertical first to "this" Plane and then to that one. After 45 minutes or so, we mutually decided that maybe we should just give it a rest and try again later! The Hinge Action is one the Three Imperatives and is responsible for the Clubface Alignment through Impact. Pretty important, wouldn't you say? You need to understand this upside down, backwards and forwards, and inside out. When that's done, we can move on to something else. [For example, the Clubhead Lag, which I've found almost nobody truly understands. They think they do, but they don't. But that will be a separate thread.] So, once and for all, let's clear The Fog on this subject. I'll soon write a reasonably definitive post, and to help me do this, I want you to tell me, by posting on this thread what questions you have about Hinge Action that you want answered. All I ask is that you write cleanly and neatly and be definitive in your questions. I don't want to have to decipher your posts. After I get a handle on the "Fog Level," I'll write my piece and we'll go from there. All ahead 1/3, this starship is leaving the station! __________________ Air airair View Public Profile Send a private message to airair Find all posts by airair
