2-G Hinge Motion Question

[6bmike]

On Page 28 of the 6th edition, HK writes "Doing the above drill with Zero Accumulaor #3 (6-B-3-B) will show that then, all Lag Loading and Hinge Action have Angled Hinging Travel AND Rhythm. So--intentional use of Zero Accumulator #3 can be useful while unintentional use can be hazardous."

Could someone expand on these two sentences? I understand the different hinge actions, but I am in a fog as to what these two sentences mean.

I don't know if this is what was asked but..... and someone correct me....


If you zero out acc#3, no cocking of left wrist or hold the shaft in the palm of the left hand which does the same thing. The clubhead can not lag behind the hands- it can only turn in line like the end of a screw driver. Once acc#3 puts an angle on the left wrist, the clubhead is activated with Lag.

Without acc#3- you just own a big long stick from left shoulder to the clubhead.
With acc#3- you established a Lever, a machine- Lag and Rhythm.

Of course zero acc#3 in putting is useful intentional use.

Check out the video- ..”R U Ready to Roll?” Lynn demonstrates the acc#3 transfer power when he smacks the desk with the dowel.

6bmike, I like hitting basic motion with left palm grip. Actually, I do think it is more difficult to use horizontal hinging and swinging with this grip. That is probably why I like to switch it back for swinging.

It does form one 'big long stick from clubhead to left shoulder' exactly like you said. But isn't this the primary lever assembly ?

With accumulator #3 you add another lever, the secondary lever assembly.

I can still produce lag and rhythm at stage 1 without accumulator #3. Or at least I think I can. Isn't rhythm associated with hinge action....so if we have one we have the other ? I'm not sure about that.

How long have u been studying TGM? I have just been reading these sections in my new book and you seem to have it really down. Nice job! How's your game coming?
