Tour pro Hitters

[O.B.Left]

Can anyone find a video or picture of a good player who actually uses a pitch basic stroke? I certainly cant

Do you mean Pitch Elbow.....how 'bout Hogan. His elbow was in front of him.

Now to trigger delay- just because you swing does not mean maximum trigger delay- look at Tom Watson or any other player who uses full sweep.

Agreed, I'm one myself, but I think you mean Random Sweep. Full Sweep means no Delay what so ever.....a great shot to have, around the green.

Finally Wrist Action- hitters must use single wrist action, once you turn to the plane you are using standard wrist action which is a swing.
With single wrist action, it seems to me, that you can not take the club back more then about right forearm parallel to the base of the plane

Single and Standard both arrive at the same position at Top and On Plane. The difference lies in how they get there. Think of it as the backswings version of Sequenced vs Overlapping Release Motions. There are implications to the Pressure Points, which ones are loaded , when and how. But that said Hitters dont have to use Single for total motion anyways....it'd make a lot of sense especially for a Drive Loader but there are no "musts", I dont think. Two hands on the club maybe, if possible. A 4B Hitter could Standard Wrist Action his way to End , load the Knuckle , Drag in Startdown and then Drive in Release, I believe.

But I do agree that it is the best way. "As ye go back, so shall ye come doon" in Scottish. I think a lot of it has to do with which Lag Pressure Point you are loading personally. The so called "direction of loading" can have a corresponding Wrist Action. Hogan loaded his knuckle for a half wedge shot say , so he had to get his Right Palm under the plane , his Left Hand Swiveled to the Plane to load that #3 pp at the Knuckle and Load his Left Wrist. He was Loaded for Dragging and then Throwing Out (Automatic Wrist Throw, Release Trigger) of his #2 Angle down the Inclined Plane and at the Plane Line , Sequenced Release... 2 then 3, Golfer Flail. A Drive Loader hitting a half wedge would load the Index Finger and the Right Elbow and then Drive against the #1 on the AFt of the Shaft, all with less Wrist Action accordingly. The former Throws out his #2 with his Right Palm to the underside of the Plane the latter fires his #1 which pushes the Left Hand off the Plane and triggers an simultaneous Release.

Lets not group hitters and swingers based on a very basic understanding of what some may or may not do. The book has some 400 quadrillion possible swing combinations, all of which have some practical application- otherwise they would have been eliminated as we all know Mr. Kelly was in favor of anything to streamline the book.

I totally agree. Like a lot of Homers classifications ...you have the two extremes and then the full spectrum in between. Its up to you and your common sense to determine what is useful......some of it gets very un common or un golf like. Like Snap Loading in Total Motion say, not common in the least , but it is possible.
