Basic Motion

[Daryl]

Darryl,

Hinging does not always have to be angled for Basic Motion.
It is up to the player to decide what hinging they would like to employ two feet back and through....which creates the desired effect on the golf balls travel.

Sorting Through the Instructor's Textbook.

But, strictly by the book, #3 is zeroed out.

But, strictly by the book, #3 is zeroed out.

Meaning the #3 Angle is zeroed by gripping it along the life line in the left hand, like we commonly do when putting. Its a little teeny tiny, stroke, like a putting stroke , 2' back and 2' through. A little chip that bumps the ball a few feet from the very edge of a green say. You can employ any hinge action in putting or in basic though the roll power associated with #3 angle is zeroed to deaden the send for such precise little shots. Its a power regulation adjustment to aid in our distance control.

Hey, is putting Basic? Never thought about that before. Oh oh, where's my book?

Dear OB.

Hinge Action isn't longitudinal spin.

Doing the above drill with Zero Accumulator #3 (6-B-3-B) will show that then, all Lag Loading and Hinge Action have Angled Hinging Travel AND Rhythm.

I'll have to go read the book but "all Lag Loading and Hinge Action"..... there should maybe an "s" on the end of "Action" to help clarify things maybe.

".......have Angled Hinging Travel....." To me meaning that with the #3 Angle zeroed via gripping it in the life line and bringing the club and left arm inline from DTL, ie flattening out or zeroing the #3 angle at the left wrist.......any of the three Hinge Actions will have the corresponding TRAVEL normally associated with Angled Hinge Action. Which is zero. Zero out the #3 Angle to zero out the associated clubhead Travel. Zeroing out " roll power". A power regulation or metering consideration, machine adjustment.

I never did know why I gripped the putter like that. Its interesting to me that a lot of us adopted that grip without knowledge of Homer's #3 Power Accumulator, its travel, its power and the benefits to zeroing it out when facing delicate little shots where distance control is key. You can also further regulate the send associated with any particular lag pressure by gripping down on the club too......shortening the lever. Intentional mis hit off the toe for those tricky little downhill putts etc. These are power regulation things.
