Hands Controlled Pivot
 

Maybe this will help someone clear the fog. I think it may be the last Bulletin written by Homer Kelley.

It seems that "Hands Controlled Pivot" states that the relationships of the components and their interaction is more important than their position. This gives "Alignments" the focus of our attention but does not sacrifice Pivot Power.

Then, there are thousands of possible ways to swing a club. So, when you develop your stroke pattern, do so by educating your Pivot to not interfere with the Hands and their control of the Clubshaft, Clubhead and Clubface. The relationships within and among the three Zones is very important. Don't let the Pivot control these alignments.

Great find Daryl. Thanks very much for sharing it. AWESOME!!!

Yeppers, that insight took me about 4 months!
 

Ok, I can be a little dense. :crybaby:


ICT

You're not being dense my friend. We're all here to learn from the guys who have been studying the Yellow Book for years!

Kevin

I said earlier: "The relationships within and among the three Zones is very important. Don't let the Pivot control these alignments."


I should have added the relationship of the components and procedures to the Plane and/or Target Line are vital as well.

Hands to Pivot is a great study, eh Daryl. Thanks for that bulletin.

Have you guys seen this video? Nice pivots on these guys.......with no thought to it after its trained I bet. Hands to Pivot.

Lots of LBG concepts on display here actually.... 6-M-1, ah dare I say thats an Aiming Point Procedure? And of course the right , left , right , left from the MacDonald drills, ......what else?

He reminds me of Ted Fort hitting a casual bucket of balls on a Saturday afternoon.

I just did some research on line into Hands To Pivot..........its largely misunderstood.

I know, Homer misunderstood? Shall I alert the media, Sir?

Here's a really great post on the subject....

Ohhhhhh!
 

TSP and Elbow Plane attacks? :)

Hah, he can adjust his Angle of Attack to vary his impact dynamics it would seem.

that's pretty cool OB,

you can imagine this guy having some golf stroke

Stack and chop
 

Hey Tim

Thing is all those pro axemen guys have great pivots , motions........ figuring out why or how is interesting from a golf perspective. I have a feeling he isnt thinking about his weight shift or his sequence for instance... So what is he thinking about in our terms? What automates that pivot ....what are his intentions?

Check these guys out.......they all have a similar motion and great pivots to my golfers eye.

Would the equivalent for us be to just smash the clubhead into and right on through the aiming point ....... as if the shaft would snap in the process? I dunno but I bet it has something to do with the brain and the hands. Mike O. probably has some good stuff on this sort of thing....

Upon further review......is there a Hands To Pivot or an "Intentions" aspect to any of the following? The LBG logo in particular.... is that about intentions? An intention that automates the pivot (after some training) ?

The road to help is paved with good intentions
 

Keep going O.B. You are getting warmer.

Is this TGM in a nutshell?

We have made an Impact
 

It is the three all-encompassing Primary Concepts of TGM on which all details can be easily attached as they surface.

My favorite video...

Did you say easily?
Even Yoda said something about the curse of TGM: being so complete. :eh:

Ah thats all i got Drew. Damn Hands to Pivot ......wat the....?

it is interesting for sure, it says a couple of things to me

1) they are feeling the weight of the axehead & responding to that with the intention of applying maximum force to impact
2) as you say they are into aiming point but imo aren't likely to be consciously considering plane lines, shaft alignments etc they are just doing - there could be something for a lot of us in that thought 'more doing less thinking'

that said, no doubt they train for this stuff & there might well be coaches who have analysed their stroke & identified optimum arm/wrist/shaft angles etc

That's a lot of "white" pants and a lot of "Right Arm" Swinging. :)

I had to look it up: http://www.usaxemen.com/usaa/rules.shtml

That's a line out of Mike O's latest stab at an autobiographical country-techno-disco-polka song . . . . look for him on Idol next season . . . after the operation of course.

I think you're right.......It looks a little San Francisco-ish to me. Country-techno-disco-polka. :laughing9 I thought he already had the operation?

Big Bang Theory
 

Trust me, Drew, I can hit something on purpose. :whistle:

I can drive that thing several feet in an intended direction. :thumright

But then it begins to move left or right dozens of yards away from my target. :eh:

Or it moves straight but not far enough. I see the point about the essential nature of club face control and LAG. I need to learn how to completely control those two things and the Pivot will take care of itself, I believe.

It's easy to blow things up. It's easy to hit someone with an axe ( Chicago story Daryl). It is hard to launch a rocket to the moon or a ball to a green!

I'd like to know what your intentions are .....
 

Guys help me out here. Drew's been teasing us for years with this stuff and we gotta get him to come clean with what he knows, finally. For the good of golf kind. He's like freak'n Denise Milani with this stuff or something.

Mike O. knows too I bet. Maybe different takes on it ... Come on guys...we all want to automate our pivots like those wood chopper dudes.


What the best way to fix your pivot? Work on your pivot or work on....something else, your intentions maybe? Which is all about the hands, direction of force ......chopin wood?

i think one thing OB is that they have no choice, swinging those things with that kind of force requires the body to get involved, the arms couldn't do it on their own - not so with golf we can have a predominatly arms-swing without the body bringing too much to the party

I axed for it!
 

Was fooling around with the Jim Hardy stuff tonight for the first couple of holes in the simulator and Friday night league and was hooking everything off the planet. I was so lost! I was 4 over on 3 holes :rolleyes:

And then....:laughing1

I AXED FOR IT :exclaim:

I pretended the ball was the base of a tree. I RFT'd and stepped toward the tree and swung my axe right at the ball. I pushed the shot ....50 yards further than my usual 187 yards. I wound up 8 over for the 18 holes with 3 birdies!

Great fun! Good bye Mr. Hardy. Hello Paul Bunyan and Babe!
