Do You Feel What I Feel?

[Yoda]

Master Yoda,

Have just seen your latest clip -- a great swinging and hitting procedure. What is the main thing you feel to start the down swing when swinging. You mention you crank the gyroscope. Also, what do you feel when hitting? Thanks.

The Computer requires Five Programming Routines to do its best work (Chapter 14). The first of these is the Feel of your Total Motion -- your Basic Procedure. This 'one' Feel is actually a composite of the many Feels you have learned and mastered separately during your G.O.L.F. journey. Each of these Feels maintains its separate identity and yet always relates harmoniously to the whole.

So, in answer to your question, what I will describe are my Primary Feels -- themselves also a composite -- that govern my Stroke and that I can depend upon to reliably reproduce the Mechanics patiently and deliberately acquired through the Star System Process of 1-J and 3-B.

Swinging: My Lower Body leads and my Upper Body and Power Package lags. This Start Down Motion causes my Wrists to Cock a bit more and the Clubhead Lag to Load against my #3 Pressure Point (Right Forefinger). Since Start Up, I have been aware of a definite Extensor Action (against the #1 Pressure Point -- heel of the Right Hand against the Left Hand thumb). That Feel is accentuated by the Lead-and-Lag Start Down Motion. I sense a Gyroscopic Motion as I Pull the Club Down Plane until it is automatically Thrown-Out by Centrifugal Force in Release. I am very aware of the Left Wrist Throw through the #2 Pressure Point (the last three fingers of the Left Hand sensing the Centrifugal Left Wrist Uncock per 10-20-E). And -- from The Top (Station Two) to The Finish (Station Three) -- I Trace the Straight Plane Line with my Right Forearm and #3 Pressure Point.

Hitting: Except for the Lag Loading (Drive versus Drag) , the Feel is essentially the same as above until Release. Then, the Club is Driven-Out by Right Arm Muscle Power. I am very aware of the Right Elbow's Drive againt the #1 Pressure Point per 10-20-B and my Right Shoulder acting as a Launching Pad for that Drive. As with Swinging, I Trace the Straight Plane Line with my Right Forearm and #3 Pressure Point. However, because I am Actively Thrusting, I Feel the Pressure Point Combination (the Active Muscular Drive against #1 and #3) much more strongly than when Swinging (with its Passive Centrifugal Drive against #2 and #3).
