TGM perfect?

A typical Golf Swing uses many components and procedures. Mixing them, some swinging and some Hitting is typical of most swing patterns.

Swinging is when CF Uncocks the Left Wrist and Hitting is when Right Arm Thrust Uncocks the Left Wrist.

But generally I would reserve the word "Switter" for those who mix incompatible procedures and end up with a less than desirable swing, for example, like Patrick . But I don't know the history of the word.

But a 4 Barrel Hitter is one who does both in one swing. I don't think that a 4 Barrel Hitter would be called a "Switter".

But, you should know that Daryl, OB Left, KevCarter, JerryG, Bernt R, Bam-Bam, Yoda and Yoda's Luke and lots of others here are serious golf swing aficionados to wit:

A little gem from Daryl in our archives:

Acceleration in the Golf Swing (Total Motion) is a three stage procedure. 1,2,3.
• Acceleration in all three stages is very brief.
• Acceleration is going from “0” to its maximum velocity of the Body Part.
• Each of the Three Accelerating Body parts begins at Zero in spite of being carried along by the previous body part.
• Once the Accelerated body part is traveling at maximum velocity, it continues only for another brief moment. Any body part that is accelerating will slow down the previous accelerating body part.
• The Faster that the previous body Part Accelerated, the Faster the next Body Part Can Accelerate.

Right Shoulder acceleration is the first stage.
• Lowering your Left Heel to the Ground accelerates your Right Shoulder Down Plane.
• If you lower your Left Heel and hold your hands at the Top, your Right Shoulder will accelerate faster when it’s released.
• If you lower your Left Heel before your Hands reach the Top and hold your Hands at the Top, then your Right Shoulder will accelerate faster still.
• If you lower your Left Heel, then sharply bend both knees before your Hands reach the Top and hold your Hands at the Top, then your Right Shoulder will accelerate faster still.

Shoulder Acceleration is very brief. While the shoulder Accelerates, the Right Elbow does not move closer to the Body. The Right Elbow (part of the Power Package) stays in the same relationship to the Body as it had at the Top (or end) of the Swing.

Arm Acceleration is the Second Stage.
• When the Right Elbow moves to the side or in front of the body (Push or Slap) your arms are accelerating.
• The Farther your Elbow travels, the greater the velocity.
• The Thrust is Downward.
• The Elbow moving into your body does not Throw the Left Arm off the Chest.
• The Elbow moving toward your body does not release the club.
• Arm acceleration picks up where Shoulder acceleration left off. So, the higher the shoulder velocity, then the higher the Arm velocity. Low thrust-low velocity, High thrust-high velocity.

Clubhead Acceleration is the third stage.
It is the Fanning of the Right Forearm Forward for both Hitters and Swingers. This is where Hitters apply muscular effort to Slap-Punch the Ball. This is where Swingers want five right hands because the accelerating clubhead is slowing the hands.
• This acceleration stage is when and where Release Begins.
• This stage is not called hand acceleration. From the Right Elbow all of the way to the Clubhead, with a level and bent right wrist acts as though these parts are cast together into a single unit.
• This is the stage when your Left Arm moves away from your chest
• Your Right elbow is straightening
• At this moment, your pivot is stressing-out from the entire sum of Lag.


If any of the phases of acceleration wimps out, the #3 pressure point Lag Pressure will fade. If you pull down using your arms from the top of your swing, you just lost stage 1 and 2 and prematurely release the Club. The only thing you should use to hit a golfball is the Golf ball collector cart at the range.


WOW...This really looks like a Right Sided Game!




Anyway, I was just thinking about it.


Lot's of stuff to practice in that quote! Enjoy!
