After reading all posts regarding hitting, I am still confused with:

"Then, after the initial Downstroke Shoulder Acceleration (8-7), he accelerates the Club by Pushing against the Clubshaft as if it was an Axe Handle."

When I use an axe to cut down a tree, I typically cock and uncock my right wrist, which I know is wrong with regards to the golf swing.

I've read 2-K and 7-19 countless times, but I don't understand what this has to do with an axe handle. Are we really talking about an "axing" motion, like when you are using an axe or does this reference mean something else?

Thanks for your help,
Will

Will,
Good Question.
Certainly, chopping wood with an axe over your head is a swinging motion. But when you are pushing on an axe handle to split shakes for kindling- we'll that's where the hitting analogy comes into play. Have I sawed it?, cut it?, chopped it?,sure have! Give me a STIHL chainsaw and watch me go- especially on Bucket's Head!
