Great, I have some work to do.

yodeli,

Accumulator #2 is velocity power.

Accumulator #3 is transfer power.

The sequenced power release is 4, 1, 2, 3.

Make sure you associate each pressure point with it's power accumulator. That is probably the reason why they are numbered so specifically. I remember when I first realized that, it was a nice big step.

Accumulator #3 is just turn and roll. Turn your left wrist (I think left wrist only...might be wrong) on the backswing, and allow it to roll on the downswing. Go to the Tom Tomasello vid on the hands (Also watch the one about arms, while you are at it). He clearly demonstrates the very specific job each hand has during the swing

I think in order to understand accumulator #3 you need to understand hinge action. Recognize the different rhythm associated with each hinge action at Stage 1. The full roll of horizontal hinging should give the longest distance because it is 'transferring' the most power.

Chapter 6 was a very big mystery to me for a while. I remember reading about turn and roll for the first time and having no idea how that could be considered power. Well, I'm sure you have figured out by now that Homer knew what he was talking about.

I know my pics above need refinement, but can you see the left arm flying wedge ? The red represents the plane of the left wrist cock and uncock. I think it was Bucket who posted a picture of a sail boat at the start of this thread (If you have the book, look up flying wedges in the glossary). That confused me for the longest time, but after making these pics I can see it now. Very clearly. The red is like a sail, it is a 2 dimensional plane (like a sheet of paper). Left wrist bend or arch breaks this plane, and makes it 3 dimensional. So you can see how the left wrist cock is up and down. Turn and roll would maintain this plane (as well as the right forearm's plane of motion) while rotating the left forearm/wrist. When you turn, the 'sail' catches wind....same when you roll.

Mechanical checklist: Delivery line prep, delivery line uncocking prep, DELIVERY LINE ROLL PREP. Are you prepared to roll down that line ?

Grab a club with your left hand only and visualize this plane. another good reference to actually see this in motion: go to the video series with Jeff Hull. I think it is the first one where Jeff is talking about grip pressure. He holds the club with only his left hand and performs almost an acquired motion. I think he uses accumulators #4,#2 and #3. #3 is easy to see.

You said you hit it long, so you are using power accumulators. You are just unaware of which one(s) you are using, how you are using them, and when.
