Daryl: I have read this: Homer said it's pivot torque that releases the club for Swinger's and torque applied to the lever assemblies that does it for Hitters. It's hinge action...zone 3!the hands that squares the club or otherwise manipulates it differently through impact.


In case you want to the read the whole post this is taken from: http://jeffygolf.com/showthread.php?...s-stuff-happen

Additional note: My source says: "my apology, it seems the word "torque" doesn't appear in TGM. This seems odd to me as it's my understanding torque is necessary to initiate a circular motion. What I was referring to is what he calls Pivot Thrust, not pivot torque, but I can't see how you can have thrust without torque in a rotating system. Help anyone? Maybe torque initiates the pivot's work but then the motion continues on its own as in a flywheel. I can see that for Swingers. With hitters the right arm thrust initiates the lever assembly's rotating motion, which, again, continues with no torque added. Maybe this is what is meant by a "freewheeling release.""

"Casting" is applying Torque. Dragging the Club and sensing Clubhead inertia through the #3 Pressure Point is not the same thing. We are not trying to move the Clubhead by adding pressure to one end of the shaft to move the other end of the shaft. Neither does a Hitter who uses the #1 Accumulator to Drive the Primary Lever.

When these guys use the term "Torque", be careful of their meaning. Some use the term to describe the "Flip Release" and the Flip Release can be an application of Torque. It can also produce Clubhead throwaway. The Flip Release is used by 95% of all touring Pro's who, for the most part, properly compensate for "Throw-away".

But any application of Torque leads to a "Counter-Rotation" (Clockwise) of the "Clubface" (Leading edge/Top Edge) into the Impact Interval. I don't expect you to understand this yet, but sustaining a Line of Compression requires a dual rotation through the Impact interval (two counterclockwise rotations).

The guy in the video was referring to not having to rotate (Counter-clockwise) the right wrist to square the club-face for impact but rather use body rotation and arm swing. This is "Classic" Homer Kelley.

The reason I was so excited about seeing the video, is because here's a Bio-Mechanic guy who seems to know very little about the geometry of the Golf Swing, discovering that Body Rotation and Arm Swing alone, passively Square the Clubface. This is a giant leap in discovery/knowledge for him. This guy is a thinker. Great discovery. And he didn't have to spend 30 years studying the Golfing Machine.
