Good stuff Daryl. I have moved to a chipping action driven by the pivot. I setup with the handle in the lifeline of my palm. This seems to uncock the left wrist automatically. As long as I keep my arms from activating I get great feel, and that bit of lag that gives you that great sound when you hit it.
Hmm? 2 Barrels and Swing from the Wrists. You need a "head of steam" to Swing this way.
Of the Long list of theories that TGM brings to bear on the Golf Stroke World, none makes more sense than the idea that the shorter the stroke, the fewer the Accumulators.
Basic Motion: #4 Accumulator
Acquired Motion: #4,#3
Total Motion: #4,#2,#3
This concept is not simply about Power Regulation. It's about freeing the Hands for finesse control. Why would I want to Cock the Wrists if it isn't absolutely necessary? The #4 Accumulator can supply Power for chip shots of any length and, in addition, club selection can increase the chip shot range to fifty yards and Hinging (Vert, Hor, Ang) makes available optional Ball carry and roll characteristics.
The "Primary Lever Only Stroke" allows your Hands Ultimate Control over the "Line of Compression" for Impact.
I dont think Weetbix describes swinging from the wrists, does he? I think he is describing a Zone 1 only way of chipping. Accumulator #3 zeroed out with the grip running up the lifeline. A body turn only way of chipping, maybe. Like a washing machine? Or is it a pure shoulder stroke like in putting? That would be a better form of Zone 1 only Basic Motion to my mind with less movement. Still got to trace of course and Hinge just like when putting. Me personally I like the idea of Basic Motion beeing a Zone 2, arms only deal.
Great posts D. Ive actually copied them to my golf file.......hope there arent any encoded super viruses, like last time. Dang you and your key hole camera.

I'm only filling in for Mike O. and Bucket until after they get done taking turns with Mikes New Golf Mat. It could be awhile. Mike said that Bucket missed 3 putts in a row but that he's feeling better.
TGM Basic Motion requires the Shaft Grip be positioned in the Lifeline of the Left Hand; Zero #3 Accumulator and no cocking of the Left Wrist. Therefore, a one Accumulator Stroke. It's a precision, "Primary Lever Only" stroke; secondary Lever is Zeroed out.
This same stroke pattern using a traditional Grip, address engineering would include an Uncocked Left Wrist.
Chip with an Uncocked Left Wrist and the Clubshaft will be (darn close) on the Turned Shoulder Plane.
Uncocking the Left Wrist at Address creates a Rigid Primary Lever, reduces Hand manipulation, lends an undisturbed Clubhead Radius, Soles the Clubhead evenly for superb Contact with the Ball and reduces heel-ground and toe-ground contact. It Eliminates wobble, keeps the Flying Wedges Intact and allows the Clubface to perfectly open during the Backstroke and perfectly close during the Downstroke and eliminates throwaway.
Using an Uncocked Left Wrist creates a Rigid Primary Lever for Body Power to pull through Impact; whether worked by the Pivot, or shoulders only, or a Left Arm Only Stroke. Uncocking the Left Wrist at Address increases your sensitivity to inertia. Clubhead Lag will have greater feel and you'll have ultimate control in choosing Angled or Horizontal Hinging. Choke down an inch or so.
There are Professional Golfers who have a 55% Greens in Regulation statistic.
Daryl,
As ever, an absolute mound of information covering all aspects of the basic motion in relation to chip shots. Nothing missing other than a direct answer to Stuts' question.

He's hitting the Ball on the Toe because he's Uncocking his left Wrist while his hands are slightly Rolled. As he Uncocks, the Clubhead travels below plane.
I can't become a Politician. A Politician knows very little about a lot of things. I know a lot about very little. So, I can only become a Lobbyist.

You've lost me I'm sorry Daryl. No wrist cock - your original post talked about uncocking the wrists and I noted that I get that effect by lining the shaft along my left hand's lifeline - my left wrist becomes fully uncocked.
My only power motion is that my hips turn which turns my torso which move my arms which moves the club. I think that's #4 accumulator?

It's my fault Weetbix.
Not only do I make mistakes, I'm Vapid.
I still like the Traditional Grip with an Uncocked Left Wrist. I don't think it's the perfect Textbook solution like your procedure but it does lock the Primary Lever by preventing the Left Wrist from moving.
