Yoda,

Is the above 4 Barrel Stroke pattern from the 3rd edition, a hitting pattern with swinging components? Is this a valid pattern variation for 3 barrel swingers.

Range Rat

The Pattern is purely a Swinging Pattern with the addition of the Hitter's First Barrel (6-B-1-0) per 10-4-D and 2-M-3.

And, yes, it is a valid Pattern for the 3-Barrel Swinger seeking to add the 4th Barrel to his Component #4 Variation. Further, with the exception of the #4 Component, it is a valid Pattern for all other 3-Barrel Swingers as well, particularly those seeking maximum motion and minimum Component restriction in their Stroke.

I'll have much more to say on this very interesting topic in reply to your excellent post Thursday, January 22, on the forum "Larry Nelson Meets The Golfing Machine. Stay tuned!
