Not really understand this for sure, but what is this really? The roll of left arm/hand/club from p4 to p7, or is it the angle between left arm and clubshaft (which I find the same as #2 PA in practical terms)?
It's a "power" contributor (accumulator) yes, but any other benefit/consequence of mainly relying and making the most out of this in a swing?
The #3 accumulator is the part of the right wrist cock that isn't released, ref accumulator #2. But it gives leverage since forearm rotation will move the clubhead a long way. The more angle you have left the more leverage you will get. And this will be maxed with a dual horizontal hinge action.
I suspect that a shift down to the elbow plane will have less accumulator #2 release and more accumulator #3 release - compared to a turned shoulder plane.
Your replies to me are amazing. Your "gear" comment in the Basic forum, and your above post on elbow plane vs tsp. What is your key move, if any, to ensure the elbow plane early in DS?
Mr yoda? Any advise? I would think this contributes mainly to directional accuracy. The more #3 angle at impact the more accurate you would be?
brianid,
You've got two threads running on this same subject, both with identical names. To prevent duplication and minimize confusion, I'm closing this thread and will merge its contents into the other. Meanwhile, here's a quote of mine from your own originating post in the other thread. It establishes the fundamental difference between the Wrist Cock (Perpendicular Power) and the Wrist Roll (Rotational Power).

When the Left Wrist is Cocked beyond Level, the Swing Radius is shortened. Its return to Level -- and finally, Uncocked -- creates Velocity Power, totally independent of Rotational Power.
When Left Wristcock Power is employed, the Residual Velocity (of the Uncocking Left Wrist) is Transferred into Impact by the Level Left Wrist Roll. Hence, the designation of #3 as Transfer Power.
