Purehitter,

One can argue, The big muscle controls the movement better than the small muscle.

Then another say, the small muscle is a more precise and fast muscle..

Which one should I listen to?

Should we build our power based on Acceleration or Mass. 2 factors for power?


I appreciate the great points in your posts!

The perfect golf swing needs a formula.

Take you TGM book and put together your formula for your perfect swing.

It has many to choose from.

From your posts I get the idea you might be one of these golfers.

Am I right?

A bit below the belt so to speak
The hands control the upper body and the feet/knees control the pivot and you move them in circular motions?

Be careful making assumptions like that. My head has been many places, but not where you suggest. One would think your secret was indeed "mental" if you are able to decipher from my response (three simple words) and make a correlation that leads you to Pivot control Hands. That is quite a parlor trick.

However, you are wrong. As a fellow A.I., PGA Member and one that uses Rover Golf Products in his lesson program, I know the value of Educated Hands and so do my students. So again, since you brought it up without an answer: mental or physical?

I hope your insights provide better information than Dan Shauger. His book on Mike Austin was a dissapointment.

On second thought, is it a new training aid like "The Flamer" that Austin use to promote?

When I replied to your post it was to the fingers in you know what reference.

That is why I came back with my reference.

It was a joke and I did not mean to offend you.

It is funny you mention Dan Shauger as I have asked him to post video lessons he had with Mike. I have yet to see one and he says he knows Mike’s secret which I think he calls counter rotation and spin the meatball.

What I learned can be found in TGM book as well.

I explain it and show it differently and in a way the golf can understand and do.

I can assure you the Hammer Swing book will not be like Kill the Ball book from Dan.

The new trainer is not like the Flammer but I still have one of the original Flammers Mike gave me.

This new swing trainer is the Ultimate for teaching TGM. It will be ready to go in about a week.

I will post a video so you can see how it works.

No problem John. I didn't take offense. My quote within your post #23 was what you referenced. I just responded in my off-beat way , never with malice. My writing is either meant to be informative or humorous (I hope anyway). I look forward to your video.

What if I find it to be both?

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)

Now to build the perfect golf swing we must understand how the muscles, bones and joints in the body work.

Here is the sequence. The muscles move the bones and the bones move at the joints.

Now select the muscles, bones and joints that work the best for #1 accuracy (Control).

Then select the muscles, bones and joints that work the best for #2 distance (Power) without reducing accuracy.

Enjoy
Really? Was anyone in the history of mankind ever moved his bones differently? Anyone by pass the muscles and moved his joints with just his bones?

The reason A Hammer thrower moves his hands up and behind his head before his pivot starts ( a little different then the Power Rover Hammer drill) is to get momentum. With your Hammer swing, do you gather momentum of the clubhead before the back swing?

I really think the knowledge of Geometry and physics- Motion and action are more important in building a golf stroke.
