I thought Accum #4 is the left arm/shoulder & if I'm reading it correctly, it is one of the 22 components of the basic motion curriculum. There is no pivot, no shoulder turn, so the way I read it you have to take the lag (maintaining the pressure points) back towards the ball and down plane from the ball with either the #1 or #4 accumulator. I sure do hope I don't have this messed up or I will have to reincubate some stuff. Let me know guys...TY

I haven't read TKnight's prior post to my post but addressing you post Trane- Mechanically you are absolutely correct- right arm Accumulator #1 etc. But here is the key point- you don't take the club back by thinking about the right arm- or say the left arm- you take your hands back. Are only #1 and #4 moving in this basic motion- YES- but you have zeroed out #2 and #3 and the pivot so when you take the hands back #1 and #4 are the only things that will move.

Here is a quote from your recent post "so the way I read it you have to take the lag (maintaining the pressure points) back towards the ball and down plane from the ball with either the #1 or #4 accumulator"

So it reads as if you are thinking about #1 or #4 as what you focus on moving. They are the accumulators but you don't think let's take my left arm back or my left arm down- you are focusing on the hands going back - the accumulators are in essence "in the background". Now, depends what stage you are at - you may need to focus on the arms to learn the movement. So it's important to differentiate between learning - grooving components and what's happening in the fully functioning ultimate efficient athletic movement. So much like the last paragraph in 10-24-F- focusing on your arm motion could be a "Relative Translation Procedure" to a fully hand controlled pivot- (or in this case a hand controlled basic motion)
