I suspect that there is another factor that is responsible for the roll of PA#3 and that it is related to pure physics.
Have you ever watched an Iron Byron-style machine in action? It has a passive universal joint at the peripheral hinge point - where the club is attached to the central arm. That universal joint allows the grip to rotate freely in all directions. During the Iron Byron's release action the club automatically rotates to become square at impact. How is that possible if there is no active force causing rotation of the grip end of the club? I believe that it is likely due to the fact that the COG of the clubhead is not in line with the clubshaft, which means that there is a natural rotary force occurring with respect to the clubhead-around-the-axis-of-the clubshaft that causes the clubhead to automatically rotate to square by impact.

Jeff there seems a lot of factors involved in #3 accum roll power and controlling it may well be the most important part of a swing..it seems a subject that is avoided simply cause its complicated

Pistol,Soooo true,it is without a doubt why so many of us golfers dont practice it any where near enough as we should and indeed it warrants.The reason I so named it Station 23 is so I can practice it as 1 motion ,yes I do relise there are 2 definite ACCs here but trying to learn it as 2 seperate moves can be distracting to say the least.
As far as my mention of the KINETIC chain,it was merely a question in relation to a kinetic link on Manzella.s kinetic chain vid where the lower body reaches a point where it allows the upper body to "catch-up" so to speak to keep or maintain the kinetic link....my comments where more of a query more than anything specific...just an observation tis all...and my friend Im not saying Im right...Cheers
