As usual. Now, what say you about Arnie's steep backstroke shoulder turn, the steepest of all the major champions? (Same as the hockey player Patrrick Kane with his slap shot in your prior post #129). Especially when coupled with what has been described by some as a flat arm swing? Address the 'closed' clubface if you think its relevant. Here are photos you posted in another thread. Feel free to redirect us if it serves the purpose. If you prefer, I'll pop this post over here: http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/thread8528.html What's going on here? P.S. If our mutual friend Eddie Cox wants to chime in here, I'll be the first to take a ringside seat. What is going on here in my humble estimation is perfectly executed beautiful GEOMETRY derived from the Angle of Approach as described in 2-J-3 using the surrogate 10-5-E the ANGLE of Approach straight line through the Impact and Low Points is its geometric equivalent. So the two procedures are always interchangeable, but the “Arc” is the most compatible with the “On Line” Swing and the “Line” with the “Cross Line Hit” (7-23) and herein they are so paired. The straight line ANGLE of Approach Delivery Line changes the Physics of Impact because the centered Angular Clubhead Momentum becomes an uncentered Linear Momentum out toward “Right Field” without ever returning to the original 10-5-A configuration during the Follow-through. This just arbitrarily requires a 10-5-E Closed Plane Line with a steeper Plane whose Angle agrees with the new Clubshaft motions so it can maintain a straight line relation to a straight line per 2-N-0. There is no Angle of Approach to an Angle of Approach procedure because while the Forearm “Traces” the Delivery Line the CLUBHEAD VISUALLY COVERS IT. But remember, the new 10-5-E Plane Line is also the Angle of Approach regardless of the Right Forearm alignment (7-2-3, 7-3). So with every change in Ball location, the Plane Line changes and the Hitter has rotated BOTH Grip AND Plane Line. Per 7-23 this is the “Wheel Track” procedure. An Address procedure mentioned in 7-9 is very helpful with this variation and its closely related to 7-3. 10-5-E is CLOSED...Angle of Approach is IN TO OUT...thus...AP is using a surrogate delivery line and plane angle...thereby his shoulder turn is STEEP...like the steepest ever....but this component is PERFECT for the SELECTED delivery line and steeper 10-5-E plane angle...also the REQUIRED INWARD HAND PATH mandated by the Angle of Approach procedure.... Is the swing really "flat"? Naw...the shoulders are STEEP and it looks "flat" because the left arm is not lifted above the "shoulder line"...this is PERFECT geometric alignment for angle of approach hitting as the pivot is the launching pad and the rigth shoulder is the backstop (in motion) by which the right forearm DRIVES the sweetspot out in a SIMULTANEOUS release...thus note the "shutty" clubface (maybe slightly over shut if we is picking at straws)...but the Kang is loading the PRIMARY LEVER cuz he is HITTING he's not loading the Secondary Lever...No quarter turns required....no faces laying on planes...clubhead is driven OUT ....elbow is punch ...release is simultaneous....and the NATURAL hinge action is angled.... Shoulder steep...look at the shoulder line and how it is almost perfectly lined up with the line that would connect the right hip to the left knee...hips slanted to match the shoulder turn...steeeeeep....primary lever not raised above the "backstop"...the right shoulder PUSHING OVER the Primary Lever Assembly (which is what is being loaded)...the left arm never above the right shoulder so no "timing" or "slack" or "waiting" required for the primary lever to line up with the right shoulder...the right shoulder can IMMEDIATELY commit to its function of PUSHING DRIVING the primary lever DOWNPLANE...and then the right forearm PUNCH...driving the sweetspot OUT to the ball with angled hing action...BEAUTIFUL EFFICIENT GEOMETRY....misunderstood....I had no appreciation for it...but is AWESOME! steeep shoulder drive out.... __________________ Aloha Mr. Hand Behold my hands; reach hither thy hand Last edited by 12 piece bucket : 12-31-2011 at 09:54 AM. 12 piece bucket View Public Profile Send a private message to 12 piece bucket Find all posts by 12 piece bucket
