Accumulator 3 Question

[Yoda]

If one "zero's" out the #3 Accumulator by raising the grip into the cup of the Left Hand, does the #3 Accumulator Action still function normally?

Yes and no.



Yes, in that there is still a definite 'Overtaking Action' (of the Hands by the Clubhead) as driven -- actively (Hitting) or passively (swinging) -- by the straightening Right Arm.

No, in that all three Hinge Actions -- Horizontal, Angled and Vertical -- now have the identical Rhythm, i.e., the same Clubhead Travel through Impact to the end of the Follow-Through (Right Arm straight).

Is the following quote where we find our perspective on this matter?

6-B-3-0 THE THIRD POWER ACCUMULATOR Power Accumulator #3 is formed by the angle established between the Clubshaft and the Left Forearm. Accumulator #3 should never be “Out-of-Line – instead, it seeks to MAINTAIN its radial alignment with the Left Arm and Left Wrist vertical to its associated Plane. So, basically, Accumulator #3 Hand Motion (4-D-0) is “Clubface Control,” “Rhythm Control,” and “Roll Power Control” of the Right Elbow (7-3). Study 2-G and 7-20.

So, regardless of the Power it produces, including Zero, then there is still a "Motion" of the #3.

So then, the Accumulator, or the Amount of "overtaking Travel" is the Left Hand/Shaft Alignment, and the Right Hand remains “Clubface Control,” “Rhythm Control,” and “Roll Power Control” of the Right Elbow?

So, may I interpret that you are saying that the #3 “Clubface Control,” “Rhythm Control,” and “Roll Power Control” of the Right Elbow,,, is the Straightening Right Arm?

It seems to be, that "Roll Power" applies to both Swingers and Hitters. If it applied to only Hitters, then HK would have used the term "Roll Force".

Swingers using "Extensor Action" are "Actively" straightening their Right Arms, although it's Non-Accelerating.

That clears a lot of fog.

Hmm? Here's a clincher:

Active or Passive, the straightening Right Elbow with its Paddlewheel Action, powers, guides, and regulates the #3 Accumulator Motion (7-1 but not the actual Clubface aligning (1-F). Study 2-M, 7-11 and Components 19.
