See " Overtaking Rate" too from Wristcock 2-P. As for the Endless Belt I'd say it's an analogy and all analogies are well just analogies. The hand speed is not really constant the hand path is not truly straight line for very long anyways, but the overtaking rate is real and straighter hand paths do have less associated cf throwout. The physics of circular motion is real for water skiing, car tires, gears, pulleys.. etc

If you have snap and high hand speed you are doubly blessed. Can snap be learned? Homer thought so but he also alluded to each of us having an ideal hand speed. For those who can't cant pull it all off , they can add muscular drive out , thrusting to match the club head speed. Higher hand speed same clubhead speed bigger pulley wheel as pushing on the aft of the handle tends towards an earlier Release as the left hand swivels off the plane with the drive out action.

I think maybe. Me if I go 4b hitting I don't think too much about having a lot of #2 angle late it's more about saving some right arm for the ball and it's that last bit of right elbow bend that's most powerful like a boxers jab vs a huge Right elbow bend late thing.

I once asked Yoda if I should give up on getting to snap when swinging and he replied that I should be able to do both ( snap and random sweep). Still a work in progress. Im Trying to get more longitudinal at present when I'm practicing anywAys. When playing I go with my usual full Stricker.

Bucket you love Hogan why you arguing the other side on this one? Are you fighting with he small pulley wheel? I've seen some Sergio types and what they can struggle with .... But it can be mastered by dialing the longitudinal down when its not needed or wanted. Slowing the ground up, pulling, drag loading down some. The two guys I know who are crazy late both struggle with distance control on short irons. They'd rather hit it hard than take something off it for some reason. One guy does long drive ....made it to Vegas as an amateur once and swears he is all left arm, no right arm at all. Auto or non auto snap? He doesn't know. On film his hands flip over quickly which is perhaps an indication of the Homers non auto whiplashing action maybe??????

Homer and his components are fascinating but the definitions the interplay between components is frustratingly complex....... As it should be I suppose.

Me I like Strickers swing a lot, but the Hogan slow mo footage from Mexico is so so intoxicating.
