Re: Rip Van Winkle -- Open Champ
 

In the other forums, you stated that the right shoulder thrust cranked the gyroscope, a downswing starting motion which I never understood, nor saw any player execute. Now IAHA makes a lot more sense. Consistent with a left side pull and an uninterrupted pivot train.

Body Power
 

There is no inconsistency here, DDL, only another tile in the mosaic that is becoming your complete understanding of The Golfing Machine. :D

The work the Hips do -- the Hip Action -- is to actuate the Shoulder Turn (10-15-0). Thus is born Power Accumulator #4 -- the Downstroke Shoulder Turn Thrust against Pressure Point #4 (6-B-4-A) that transmits the Pivot Motion to the Arms (7-13). Achieve Maximum Power by coupling Maximum Shoulder Turn Thrust with Maximum Downstroke Shoulder Turn Lag. All this to preserve the Downstroke Release Sequence (6-M-1) and the consequent Lag and Drag in the Pivot Train (6-C-0).

Lynn,

Would this position that all these great golfers are in look the same for a long iron? What if you wanted to hit it very high?

I get the same.

I get that too.

you should note that in the pics of the classic players they are all hitting short irons. that is what you want to look like if you are trying to hit a controlled med trajectory short iron. but try hitting a high 2 iron like that. find some clips of hogan hitting a 2 iron and he releases much ealier

In fact, for a given release point, shorter clubs take less time to reach its In-Line condition than do a longer club because of the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum.

Since Hogan places the ball nearer Low Point (opposite Left Shoulder Hinge) with longer clubs such as a 2 iron, there will be less of that absolutely mandatory forward leaning of the Clubshaft through Impact. This may create the perception that Hogan is releasing the club earlier when in fact he is not. I think that's what you're getting at, right?
