Hey Trane,

After I wrote that second response yesterday I had a major egg hatch in the incubator. You forced me to take a step back and look at the big picture...regarding basic and acquired motion. It helped me put together my thoughts, instead of continuing to study and read more in depth detail.

So I took my 'interpretation' of stage 1(which you helped me to pull out of my head) and hit some chip shots. But something was missing. Then it hit me like a big Mack truck....Combine this 'interpretation' with my recent discovery of the flail. This turned into, what I call a 'swing idea' instead of a swing thought.

I can actually relate this to chess (I know I am going off on a tangent here, but just stick with me for a minute). I was a poor chess player, until I read something from this book by Jeremy Silman called 'How to Reassess your chess' that instantly sent my level up exponentially. In the very beginning he says this

"A sound plan makes us all heroes, the absance of a plan, idiots."
-G.M Kotov quoting a mysterious 'chess sage.'

"At some time or another every tournament player learns a few opening lines, some tactical ideas, and the most basic mating patterns. As he gets better and more experienced he adds to this knowledge. However, the one thing that just about everybody has problems with is planning. From class 'E' to master, I get blank stares when asking them what plan they had in mind in a particular position. Usually their choice of plan (if they have any plan at all) is based on emotional rather than scientific considerations. By emotional I mean that the player typically does what he feels like doing rather than what the board wants him to do. If you want to be successful, you have to base your plans on specific criteria on the board, not on your mood at any given time!

"Planning is the process by witch the player utilizes the advantages and minimizes the drawbacks of his position. In order to promise success, planning is thus always based on diagnosis of the existing characteristics of a position; it is therefore most difficult when the position is evenly balanced and easiest when there is only one plan to satisfy the demands of the position."

Swinging a golf club without an understanding of how it works, and what to do with it is like playing chess without a plan (Go back to the Kotov quote).

Ok, so we can say that this is like a 'swing plan based on an idea.'
Here it is: For basic motion, power accumulators #4 and #1 move pressure points #2 and #3 utilizing the law of the flail. Specifically the first law of the flail.

This seems to work well. Am I on the right track here ?
