I don't really understand the concept of a "heavy hit" in a swinger's action.

Here is a link to a golfer performing a left arm swing.

This is presumably drag loading at its purest. Does he have a "heavy hit"? What would a swinger need to do in order to have a "heavy hit" if PA#2 releases passively/automatically according to the principle of the endless belt?

Jeff,
In studying the Golfing Machine - it's important that you are precise in your terms- otherwise you can get off course quickly. You've quoted Homer Kelley and then thrown in your own words "heavy hit". It would be better for you and all - that you stay with his terminology and then ask the questions in regards to his writings. I don't mean that as an attack on you- rather a piece of advice that I think may help you- or anyone reading the post/thread. It's just that "heavy hit" brings in a whole additional slant- it really is just a reflection of your question/ your mind's issue - in that - How can the swinger have a heavy feeling if they are not actively driving the shaft? Or How can the swinger have a heavy feeling compared to the hitter? (doesn't)

Therefore, there is no "precise measurement" such as 4 lbs- that equals a heavy "hit". It's relative - heavy and slower is better than quick and fast in order to regain lag IF you are experience "throwaway" via over-acceleration creating a condition of dissipating lag before impact.

If having lag is slow and heavy and losing lag is quick and fast - then whether swinging or hitting- if one is feeling quick, fast and having over-acceleration then one solution is to sense slow and heavy. Certainly, the overall sensation between swinging and hitting will not be the same - the one having an active "direct" drive and the other having an "indirect" passive "drive"- one pushing - one pulling.

And so it goes.... Knowledge is ALWAYS relative, contextual. It isn't created separately, independently in a vacuum.

Finally, somewhat outside of this post- but in the same vain - you see many attacking Homer Kelley's idea of "Hitting", that "Pure hitting" is only 54% powerful, etc. etc. Trying to destroy the concept by measuring every single force, fiber, etc. and determining that only X% is pushing and "therefore there is not such thing as "Pure Hitting"- that Homer Kelley had it wrong." The same people would invalidate every concept in existence - For Example, there is no such thing as a "Pure Table" - because we've measured all of them and they are all different sizes, made from different materials, hold different books and magazines, are in different places, different colors, ............ If that's how you see the world or you'd like to join them - then read up on your leader - Immanual Kant - where you can find all you want to know about "Pure Knowledge"- take some LSD while you're at it - so you can get that "Pure Knowledge" - you wouldn't want your senses to get in the way. Meanwhile, the guy on the street can tell you if he's pushing the car or pulling the car- while the professor might ask you "How do you know that's a car?" "For that matter, how do you even know that you exist?" "Maybe it's just a dream?"
