On Plane Purpose

Please be careful that this 'connected' feeling does not deteriorate into Pivot-Controlled Hands.

The Body (Zone 1) has its assignments. Namely, to maintain Balance and to serve as the Rotor (Pivot) for the generation of circular motion (and thus, the Throw-Out Action of Centrifugal Force).

The Arms (Zone 2) have their assignment. Namely, to swing free to generate Power and Force.

Unfortunately, the image "tight to the body" could inhibit the Free Arm Swing so necessary to Zone 2 Power. Worse, it could pull the Hands (Zone 3) from their assigned duties to maintain the Clubshaft On Plane and to keep the Clubface properly aligned. All at the expense of Clubhead Lag Pressure.

Our objective is to generate On Plane Power while controlling the Clubface Alignment.

The Body serves that purpose.

It does not command it.

Sustain the "lag" (or structure)

it just hit me like a tonne of bricks !!! in the last few minutes,

after spending time today (at work ), swinging a yard & a half long piece of aluminium shaft ( basically a Dowel equivelant )... it hit me..what i should be trying to achieve in a golf swing.

view the left arm, club shaft, club head, right arm...as a structure, much like a you might view some scaffolding as a structure.... and use the pivot to propel the 'structure' backwards in the backswing.and then forwards in the downswing ...alll on plane of course...BUT..the important piece being..that the "structure" never changes! ( apart from the bend aquired in the right wrist in the take-away/ backswing ...and the cocking/ uncocking of the left wrist/right elbow )...but the overall structure does NOTHING, it is propelled by the pivot and remains in its shape.

hope this helps....cos this image/concept has sure helped me.

".....the "structure" never changes!"
"the overall structure does NOTHING, it is propelled by the pivot and remains in its shape."

The structure does change "going back" and during "Release".
But, you, as a machine during execution, do not want (or intend) to change it once formed by "sustaining the lag" with constant (pivot or whatever)acceleration. The "Law", instead of you, is gonna do the rest.

Of course, it's the simpliest and easiest with only pivot rotation .

BT,

the structure does change, from bent left wrist/ flat wright wrist....to FLW/BRW in the begining of the swing..but from there...the only change/s are the simultaneous cocking of the left wrist & right elbow...apart from that...the structure DOES NOT change other than uncocking leftwrist/right elbow imn the downswing, if anything else changes then youve lost your "wedges" / "Alignments" / "structure".
