Homer wasn't a big fan of Drag then Drive 4B Hitting. But its still not as conflicted as Pull and PUsh at the same time in Release . Its usable for power shots.

Yes , Fly wheel and launching pad are very different in terms of shoulder motion, movement. Thats classic 3B stuff. When you go 4B Hitting ..... introduce Shoulder Work instead of Motion to Hitting its a different animal. High powered but somewhat conflicted. Arnie takes his Right Shoulder right on through the shot to my eye while he's Thrusting a Right Arm Throw. So does Luke and a bunch of guys on tv.

Luke likens it to having your launching pad on the move for added power. The problem with it is created back in Startdown however.... if you go to End load the Rotated Lag Pressure Point and Drag it all down plane to Release ..... classic Drag Loading .... you're not likely to be aligned to PUSH on the Aft towards the Aiming Point. You need to make compensational moves or alignments , grip change etc. You can get it all done but Homer asked "why bother". Its a question that was more relevant in his era maybe or for the amateur golfer? I dunno.

In short the distinction was drawn by Homer as part of the two [b]uncompensated [/B} basic swing patterns , one pushing one pulling , 12-1 and 12-2. Beautiful things. 3B things. Don't frig with them till you have them mastered.
