Can you site your sources of where Mr. Kelley believe that and/or believe this? If they're from the book please site section and/or page numbers.

Thanks,

It's not all wrapped up in one neat package. The meat of it is mostly found in the 7th Edition in 2-K and 2-P. 6-E-2 in the 7th also is applicable. If you have any questions on any specific items just let me know because Mr. Kelley nailed it all down in the book . . . but it's all over the place. Good place to start is the Glossary . . .

MOMENTUM TRANSFER Example – the hammer throw.
Mechanical – An appendage acquiring motion by reason of being attached to a large, central rotating body.
Golf – the rotating Body (Pivot) accelerating and sustaining the Lever Assembly motion by the Throw-Out Action of Centrifugal Force and reducing the effect of Conservation of Angular Momentum in proportion to the difference in Club and Body Mass.

Also, the following sections are applicable as well, but they must be based in an understanding of 2-P and 2-K to really come together in regards to Conservation of Angular Momentum. The picture in 2-K is good to with the Acceleration, Momentum and Deceleration phases.

6-C-2-B ANGULAR ACCELERATION The Clubhead “overtaking” speed is governed by the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum whereby the increased Mass resulting from any extension of the Swing Radius decelerates the hands and unless they are supported by Power Package Thrust (6-B-1) or Throw Out Action (2-K), can result in great loss of Clubhead Speed. Rely on Clubhead Lag to meter out the necessary support for the Primary Lever Assembly. Strictly speaking, any increase in the product of Mass times Velocity is Acceleration whether or not the Speed is changed. But the formula for Kinetic Energy gives Velocity the greater value. And, actually, the acceptable tolerance in the Ball-to-Clubhead weight ratio is quite small.

6-C-2-C IMPACT CUSHION The prestressed Clubshaft will resist the added weight of the ball during Impact, instead of the cushioning the impact with an unstressed Clubshaft. See 2-M-1.

Clubhead Lag Pressure normally remains constant regardless of the Velocity it has produced. And both #1 and #3 Pressure Points are the product of Accumulator #1.

6-C-2-D LAG LOSS The very small degree of Clubhead Lag permitted by Clubshaft Flex, makes this procedure especially susceptible to Clubhead Throwaway. And the stiffer the Clubshaft the less the margin.

Over-Acceleration is the menace that stalks all Lag and Drag. Here it allows the Hands to reach maximum speed before reaching Impact and so dissipates the Lag. So the length of the Stroke and the amount of Thrust should be adjusted and balanced to produce a “High Thrust-Low Speed” Impact – “heavy” rather than “quick.” Daintiness is dangerous.

6-C-2-E GRIPS AND LAG This Clubhead Lag Loading should be the first factor learned in the Zone #2 applications of the Grips. It should be introduced with the simplest Single Barrel Stroke Types, and become habitual before any other specifics are approached, to avoid the miseries of Address Position Impact. Allowing nothing to alter this habit of proper Loading – even momentarily. Nothing else matters much if this is lost. Also adhere rigidly 2-F, 7-23, and 9-2.


6-D-0 GENERAL After the selected Pressure Point pressures have been established, the player’s prime concern is the storage of the accumulated Power. “Power Storage” sustains the Assembly Point (normally Top-of-the-Stroke) alignments, conditions, loading, etc. of the Hands – their Feel per 5-0 – until triggering (7-20). Until mastered – consciously or sub-consciously – Power Golf is impossible. Working on anything else first is wasted time. Hitters and Swingers both have the Power Storage problems listed below but cope with them differently. See 7-19. With “Throwaway” there can be no Rhythm – and vice versa. And an artificial Follow-through. If any.

6-D-1 First, at the Top, the urge to throw the Clubhead from the Wrist, always disregard the Hands. Carefully study 5-0, 7-19, 10-20.

6-D-2 Secondly, surprisingly low, sustained acceleration of the Lever Assemblies produces excessive Hand Speed which irresistibly throws the Clubhead into its Release Orbit prematurely (10-19-C).

6-D-3 Thirdly, the Feel that the Uncocking of the Wrists is to align the Clubface for Impact, forces the Left Wrist to bend backwards and produces “Quitting”. (3-F-7-B) This is “False Feel Wrist Action”. Study 7-8 and 10-5-0.
