The illusion, seeing vs application -Hand controlled Pivot
I was told by a G.S.E.D that the sensation of the swing (He was assuming that I am a swinger). You should feel like chopping off your hand form your forearm and tape it back together. And just fully make use of the CF and the pivot in order to carry out the swing pattern. Because of that statement, I hit fat, I swing flat for a while… before I start going back to my previous pattern
Surely, in Golfing machine, we got to train our hand and educate them. But in order to carry out a golf swing, I would say that 80% of the work is down by the fingers and wrist and not the pivot. (Where pivot motion is very much passive)
I do understand the concept of Swinger and Hitter, but when I am carrying out my stroke, I find that I am not belonging to neither of the category “NOT S nor H”.
My believe of my swing pattern are as follow The first half (First 90degree of the club head travel)
When I am performing my swing, I look at it as a relay, where I am using Left forearm takeaway, and I set my right wrist position at impact fix (Forward press) and a conscious right wrist bend motion to the top (is very much Making use of the CF lag as well as it is a conscious motion too. )I feel the pivot is more on my wrist rather then the body (but obviously I can feel the pressure during the swing), for example if you are wiring a rock to a piece of string, and swing it with your wrist, the centre of the pivot is the wrist. In golf I presume in order to generate more speed, we would have to make use of the leverage on the wrist and not the pivot of the body
concious action- bend right wrist
concious action- drag load
Passive action – right elbow bend The second half (the 2xx degree downswing to finish)
On the down swing, left wrist cock, I feel like using #2PP to drag the club down and out, as well as I am using my right elbow to thrust it out on impact. I make sure I can feel my right foot and fingers+club+pressure through out the swing. On impact apart from the right elbow thrust, I am feeling both #1pp and #3pp too. And for the left forearm roll after impact, I think it is pretty much a passive action. I think it is more like depending on the shot that I am playing and the club that I am using.
Conscious motion – flat right foot
Conscious motion – right shoulder staying intact if I am hitting a draw and straight shot. Shoulder is going with the momentum generate by the weight and the swinging of the wrist.
Conscious motion – hitting down and out, particularly I feel that if I am hitting my wedge as you can see the result on the divot.
Through out the first half and the second half, I just don’t think about my pivot at all. Finger and wrist controlled the whole body motion, for example the bend right elbow on the downswing before delivery the package, a lot magazine was saying that, it is conscious motion, and I think the bend right elbow is pretty much a result of having bending the right wrist, and the motion should be passive.
Could we call that Education hands, I just do not understand… As supposingly, if I am a Swinger, I am using totally the CF and the only part about my educated hand would be when I am aiming the hand at impact. If I am a hitter, I should only think of the right arm thrusting (Drive Load) as well as having my club face staying square at the top.
Can I say that I am a Swinger Synchronized Hitter? Where I have an open club face at the top, I drag load, I have quite a big swing arc. BUT, I thrust my right elbow at impact, rather then using the CF to do it.
Pivot is the body. The body turn is the pivot. Zone #1.
The ‘wrist’ in the whirling rock on the string would not be the your wrist but your power package- shoulders, arms, hands all pivoting around a Stationary Post. 1-L-1 /2
What you feel in your hands is the tightening of the “Endless Belt Effect,” 7-23.

Extensor action can be a very important part in understanding these concepts

No sense preaching to the choir but here goes anyway- lol
Extensor Action is the key to the golf swing. Without it the swing is a mere shell- a machine without a force.
Extensor Action is the tension that runs the machine.
It is the “Life Force” of The Golfing Machine.

6bee,
What advice would you give in getting more Extensor Action into the stroke?
Thanks!

Not more ... or less... just have.
The Three Pulls of 6-B-1-D –
1- The right hand/arm pulls the left arm into a take-away. The RFT.
2- The left arm pulls the right on the downswing. Slack remover.
3- The right arm stretches the pulling left arm, trying to straighten itself (right arm/elbow).
All three are important - I am still working to make sure that all three 'pulls' are in my swing every time.
These three Extensor Action pulls are similar to the way muscles contract and compress to produce power. It least in my sick mind- lol.
But now, what about automatic release... so the Extensor on the back swing and the down swing would be a passive force generated by the CF
Centrifugal Force does work to pull the Clubshaft in line with the Left Arm. In the process, it also stiffens it. However, this action does not replace -- nor should it obscure -- the active Extension of the Right Triceps.
