Squat is a Vertical Downward Force. It takes the Hands from a Steeper Plane to an Elbow Plane; Always.
It lowers the Head. What goes up must go down, then Up again.
The Squat is a Position, destination. The Sit-down is an Alignment and it's not a destination.
The Squat is timed with the Arm Drop to the Elbow Plane. The Squatter, Squats to Pull the Hands to the Elbow Plane, and waits for the Elbow position to get to release. Then the Squatter uses his legs to thrust and throw his right forearm into the Impact Zone. I like it best when it's followed by flinging the clubhead from the wrist through Impact. The #3 pressure point monitors and coordinates the procedure, not the plane line. It reminds me of a two handed forearm smash in Tennis.
O.B., Daryl, Bucket and Okie;
thanks for sharing your opinions so quickly! Good stuff.
As to a swing center, I guess the squatter can still maintain a still head in two dimensions.
I think this site is the single greatest forum on golf. My mailbox has been filling up with commercial golf magazine subscription offers and I couldn't care less.
Homer Kelley viewed the Stationary Head as a geometric ideal, not as a mechanical absolute.
He recognized our humanity.
Hence, his advice:
"Just keep it as still as you can."
Now try to find this somewhere else folks. Thanks Yoda. Makes sense to me. The first sentence is worthy of sober second thought .........which Ill do tomorrow.
