Ben Doyle: 'I load what I dump'
I was just reading a post by Yoda:

"What actually happens is that the Club is Driven through Impact by an On
Plane Force moving toward the Plane Line (1-L #10). That On Plane
Force is the Right Forearm (itself Driven by either Muscular Thrust or
Centrifugal Force). And that Right Forearm Drives Down Plane directly at
the Plane Line until the Bent Right Arm has become Straight. This Full
Extension does not occur until the end of the Follow-Through (6-A-4), and
this is after the Clubhead has passed Low Point and is already
on its way back Up and In. Therefore, it is crucial that the Player
continue to direct his On Plane Thrust strongly Downward (and also
Outward) directly at the Plane Line -- which is on the Ground and not
"up" in the air somewhere -- even though the Ball has long gone
and the Club has already begun its Upward journey toward the Finish (1-L
#15)."

The part that made me think was to strongly direct on plane force downward(and also outward) directly at the plane line. This reminded me of the 'tire trouble' videos with Ben Doyle. I think he said once 'Everything I load, I dump' and the result is that his hands are being moved and the tire takes all the force of the hit with his hands remaining still in follow through.

I'm just trying to think in terms of down and out.
