Sorry I overlooked your reply O.B.

U walk up to a door that opens out- away from you- hing on left door knob on right. You reach out with your right hand to turn the knob and open the door. The question- for EA do U turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise? 2 muscle sets. for me clockwise is good EA counterclockwise is disruptive. What do U think? HB |

EA is always in line with left arm , out away , not on plane given any #3 angle . Not a counter clock or anti clock thing, just out along the line of the left arm . It extends the inert left arm. The radius. Say the door is not rigid its made of say kling wrap. EA stretches it out to full extension. Full Radius. The hinge is set at the left shoulder. Talking the machine here. A door is Single Horizontal , like a pin ball paddle. No Up. Just Back and IN. Any clockwise or counter clockwise turning of the DOOR (not the knob) by the Right Arm Flying Wedge (not the right hand) will not change the nature of the Hinge assuming an turn parallel to the plane of the door. If the turning of the knob as you say rolls the wedges , the hinge at the left shoulder will change its Alignment . It isnt Single Horizontal any more. But Homer after much thought preferred to leave Club Face Control as a left sided thing. Especially for the Swinger. Not saying it cant be done by the Right Forearm Flying Wedge it can . A lot of Angled Hinge guys do this. Swingers and Hitters. But .... |

I don't think "preferred" is a good choice. Unless there's a breakdown in the Primary Lever, the Primary Lever behaves as though the Left Shoulder was a Hinged joint rather than a Ball Joint (one end of the Primary Lever). This is because the Left Arm rotation is restrained by the Right Forearm Wedge and its Elbow Location, which Holds and Moves the Flat Left Wrist aligned to a Vertical, Angled or Horizontal Plane. |
I should have asked U about your application of extensor action- I will below
Quote:
Experiment- Sit in a desk chair - piush away from the desk with palms against edge of desk fingers on top, thumbs inward. pushing tends to roll the elbows out- ccw right cw left. --push away from the desk but with fingers under edge of desk, thumbs up/out. pushing tends to roll elbows in- cw right , ccw left. two different muscle sections of tricept used?? have you noticed this and if so - which way do you do Extensor action and why?? HB |
Quote:
Extensor Action is the Right Hand moving Away while keeping the Elbow checked. This, I think is already agreed by many. |
Quote:
do U mean by checked-Elbow in to side, cw right , or ??? HB |

Tell me , do you tend towards Angled when using this swinging procedure D? About Hinge Action its merely a description of the attitude of the face through the impact area in 3 Dimensional space. There are three basic planes . None of this did Homer invent. Its just logical. As such you could swing a golf club with your right arm only or attached to dogs tail and it would describe some sort of path through the ball. Homer just liked the left shoulder and the left side. Re the dogs tail etc it would no doubt promote an inconsistent rate of face closure . Compliance with a basic plane (horizontal, verictical or anything in between , aka angled ) guarantee's a constant rate of face closure . No spikes or valleys on the rate of closure graph so to speak. In this regard Homer in the audio tapes suggested that grooving a Hinge Action (any one of em) for putting was the secret to consistent putting . That you didnt need to practice putting as much or as often when you could effect your desired Hinge Action and get your ball positioned consistently. Of note is that he didnt even seem opposed to Vertical Hinging Straight Back Straight Through aka Steering , non shaft planar motion, covering the target line. If you could do it consistently you'd produce consistent results. But he acknowledged the difference in ball reaction ...... not as much ball travel , a tendency to loft in the first few inches given layback of the face . So ya to have a Hinge Action you need to be compliant with a basic plane and there are mechanical alignments that promote that. A centre to the arm motion , a constant radius , a delivery line to watch/ monitor, a ROLL feel. YOU SEEM TO ROLL THE RIGHT FOREARM WEDGE.. WHY NOT? And for this you must prepare. At Top . They form your intentions. But I digress. My apologies to ICT . Uh can you repeat the question? Bueller ? |
I wanna go back to what the centre of the motion is re the wedges.
Wouldnt the wedges attach to the primary lever? Which is centred at the left shoulder. So you spin your pivot in startdown and then throw out your primary lever and roll the wedges about the left shoulder. Or is it the LCOG? (Bear need not answer he disagrees we know) I dont see the wedges as rotating about the spine. Thats how I feel it, see it anyways. Sorta like a top spin backhand in tennis . Talking flail action here. Wedges roll together. |
O.B.
I'm not putting Clubface control under anything but the left shoulder, Hinge action. I'm only saying that the kind of hinge is determined by the right forearm. |

D, we need drawings. This stuff is the stuff of shot making. Me i square the face to the target line for balls back in the stance , draw shot resulting. For fades I move the ball forward , rotate my plane line left , left of my start line /face angle then swing along the plane line ... with a hold off angled hinge. (Lets be honest here) Straight shots ? The hardest shot in golf ? Experiment and compare your results . I dont try to hit em. Using these procedures the fade goes high , soft given more loft at Fix and the layback of Angled etc . The Draw is harder lower typically . You can adjust the release point to change the traj. This is what I want to talk about ... lets start a thread using Homers book references. Tilted backspin, divergence between path and face angle, angle of attack, less out for steeper lie /plane angles , plane line rotation vs face rotation .... |
