5. It is essential not to tighten any muscle concerned in the reactive part of the swing (movement above the waist).
Percy Boomer believed in an elliptic swing path of the clubhead that was released by centrifugal force to impact. Sounds like a Swinger with a Automatic release. 10-24-0.
____________________________
I just read On Learning Golf (again for the first time). I believe Boomer meant the stroke was passive above waist level going back (and up) as well as release. Page 168/169. He has a photo with a straight line at angle from his left hip through to the ground, the club is at the "end" of startup according to TGM 9-2-4, "Passive" is written above the line and "Active" is written below it. The photo caption is "The Golf Swing in Embryo". I interpreted it to mean a "heave" (in other golf circles) to get the club going back and up and let the hands get to the top or end, transition back toward target with everything above the waist remaining passive until release.
Disclaimer: I am in the early development stage of TGM and building my machine but I did recently incorporate that "feel" and I think it has taken out some wobble (or at least some sway) in my pivot.
For the experts: Is the "heave" (I can't think of a better description) at Start Up compliant with The Golf Machine? I had been thinking "Low Speed/High Thrust as a swing thought, now I am thinking High Thrust/Low Speed as Homer wrote.
Thanks much.
