The Golfing Machine -- A Blueprint For Your Best Golf

You said pivot thrust can drive acc. 4 through impact. What would this motion "feel" like? I gather that it is more or less a turn of the body into and past impact.

If this is true, how is that not "pivot controlled hands" procedure?



For Swingers utilizing "Body Power" per 2-M-4, Pivot Thrust mustdrive Accumulator #4 through Impact. For Hitters, it is optional. They can (1)Use the Basic Hitting Pattern (per 12-1-0) with its Three Barrel Stroke (RightArm Thrust driving the Lever Assemblies via the #1 Accumulator and PressurePoint); or (2) use the Four Barrel Stroke (10-4-D) with its Right ShoulderThrust driving the Lever Assemblies via the #4 Accumulator and Pressure Point.

The Geometry of the Stroke is the same in both Actions. Only thePhysics change, i.e., you can either Pull the Club through or you can Pushthe Club through. In both instances, however, it will still be a LeftHand Stroke (1-F) unless the Right Elbow replaces the Left Shoulder asthe Center (10-3-K). The "describable feel" (1-J) you seek will bedependent on the Physics (1-F) of the procedure employed.

That said, the true Swinger "lets the Club do the work." Among otherthings, he uses the Standard Left Wrist Action (10-18-A) andactually Swivels his Hands and Forearms (a true rotation)from Release (8-9) into Impact. He then executes the "fullroll" feel (2-G and 6-B-3-0) of Dual Horizontal Hinge Action(8-10 and 10-10-D) before Swiveling out of theFollow-Through (2-G and 8-11) and into the Finish (8-12). As a result, he willfeel much more "Wristy" than had he used -- your words from the quoteabove-- "more or less a turn of the body into and past impact."

No doubt your descriptive phrase also meant that the rotating Body and theorbiting Arms (per 2-G) were responsible for the Rotation of the Hands, i.e.,there was no actual, independent rotation of the Arms and Hands themselves. Andthat is correct. Through Practice, that correct Mechanic -- the substitution ofa Hinge Action Feel (per the last paragraph of 2-G) from the Topthrough to the Finish for the "Two Swivels and a Hinge Action"previously described -- can be translated (per Chapter 3) into a"describable sensation" per 1-J, i.e., describable to and by theindividual player.

Hitters, on the other hand, do not allow "the Club to do thework." In fact, the Hitters I know dearly love to control thesituation!

"To heck with Centrifugal Force doing all this stuff for me; I want to doit myself!"

"You want to pull? By golly, I'll push!"

In fact, Hitting was Homer's preference:

"Both procedures are equally accurate," he told me, "but I justlike to control all that flying around!" And if ever a "control"guy ever lived, it was Homer Kelley!

Now, if you choose to "control" -- and Swingers can do it, too, giventhe appropriate adjustments -- then you will be "Feeling" what youdescribed as simply "turning the body into and past Impact." Withthat "Feel" (of the Pivot Motion turning back and through fromRelease through the Follow-Through, the Acquired Motion of 12-5-2), you willhave substituted a Hinge Action of the Hands -- the Flat LeftWrist remaining Vertical to one of three desired Planes of Motion, i.e.,Horizontal, Angled, or Vertical -- for their Swivel Motion.

As a result, it is not only possible that you will Feel "lessHands," it is probable. In fact, when I asked Larry Nelson how hegot so good so quickly -- he broke 70 a year after he started playing at age 21-- he said, "I took my hands out of the swing." Now, this is PureGolf Machine:

Per 2-M-3, "the Hands are strong, educated, adjustable Clampsattaching the Club to the Arms for control of the Clubface alignments. Bythemselves, they are actually able to drive the ball only a relatively shortdistance. Even the Wristcock is not properly an action of the Wrist muscles.So, the only absolutely essential muscular contribution of the Wrists is"holding on." [Italics mine.]

Okay, if the Hands aren't the Power (and they are not), then just what do theydo? The answer is that they control the crucial geometric alignments ofthe Golf Stroke, that's what. And per Chapter 5, it is your job to educatethem properly.

Each of the Three Zones (Body, Arms, and Hands per Chapter 9) has itsrespective assignment. Zone #1 provides Balance, On-Plane alignments,and the initial Thrust so necessary to the Power Components located in Zone#2. But it is Zone #3 -- the Hands -- that control the entire operation,not only the sequencing and alignment of the employed Pivot Components of Zone#1, but also the Accumulation, Loading, Storage, Delivery, and Release of Powerin Zone #2.

And it is within their own Zone #3 that the Hands execute that ultimatesimplification of The Golfing Machine, the Star System Triad:

the Three Imperatives controlling the Three Functions(Face, Head, and Shaft) through the Three Stations (Address, Top,and Finish).

Each of the Three Imperatives is monitored and controlled directly by TheHands:

1. The Clubface is controlled by the Flat Left Wrist executingits Hinge Motion (2-G, 7-10, and 10-10);

2. The Clubhead is controlled by the steady-as-she-goes drive of the#3 Clubhead Lag Pressure Point; and

3. The Clubshaft (or more accurately, the Sweetspot) is controlled bythe Right Forearm tracing with the #3 Pressure Point the Straight PlaneLine.

Thus, per Chapter 5-0, you must "Learn to Swing the Hands. Monitor theHands...until the Hands no longer consciously Monitor the Clubhead orBody--only themselves-- and automatically dictate total Component compliancewith Delivery Path (6-E) and Delivery Line (2-J-3) requirements (7-23)."

Lets put it this way:

If you control your Hands, you control the Club.

If you control the Club, you control the Ball.

And if you control the Ball...

You control the Game.
