Other than the normal pressure necessary to secure the Left Hand Grip (1-L #3), the Hitter does not employ Pressure Point #2. In Full Strokes, the
Swinger Loads the Left Wrist (and Pressure Points #2 and #3) to
Drag centrifugally the
Secondary Lever (the Club only). The
Hitter Loads the Right Elbow (and Pressure Points #1 and #3) to
Drive muscularly the
Primary Lever (the Left Arm
and Club). The latter is true even in Wristcock Strokes: Pressure Point #3 drives the #2 Accumulator (as opposed to the Swinger's normal application of the #2 Pressure Point driving the associated #2 Power Accumulator). This illustrates the
Interchangeability of Power Accumulators and Pressure Points (10-11-0-5).
In the Stage One
Basic Motion, there is no Left Wristcock. Hence, the Primary Lever Assembly remains in its In Line condition (Centrifugal Momentum 2-K#2). The player then uses either (1) the
Left Arm to
Pull the
Secondary Lever through Impact (Swinging); or (2) the
Right Arm to
Push the
Primary Lever through Impact (Hitting).
The
Swinger Pulls the
Secondary Lever toward the Plane Line centrifugally (as if the Clubshaft was a piece of rope) via Pressure Point #2. The
Hitter Pushes the
Primary Lever toward the Plane Line muscularly (as if the Left Arm and Clubshaft were one solid piece of board) by the thrust of the Right Elbow against Pressure Point #3.
Hitter's caveat:
Normally, the
Left Arm is driven by the Thrust of the #1 Accumulator (Right Elbow) against the #1 Pressure Point (the heel of the Right Hand against the Left Hand thumb). Simultaneously, the
Clubshaft is driven also by the Right Elbow but now against Pressure Point #3 (the right forefinger).
When only Pressure Point #3 is employed, the Right Elbow must drive both the Left Arm
and the Clubshaft using that lone Pressure Point (1-L #7). This means that the Acceleration Thrust must be applied equally against
both the Left Arm and Club (and not merely the Club alone). Otherwise, the Left Wrist Bends, the Club swings forward independently of the Left Arm and the shot is lost (1-L #8 ).
