7-3 Delayed Release -- Hitters Vs. Swingers
Quote:
Both Swingers and Hitters delay their Release for Maximum Power. This is the Sameness (1-K). The Difference is that Swingers Load and Delay the Release of their Left Wrist. Hitters Load and Delay the Release of their Right Elbow. Many Swingers have experienced the Feel of the Delayed Left Wrist Throw. Few have ever experienced the Feel of the Delayed Right Elbow Drive. Until they do, they will simply never understand... |
A Tale Of Two Thrusts
Quote:
In contrast, the Right Elbow Drive is an Accelerating Thrust (6-C-0-1) directed On Plane (1-L-#10/#11) that actively Drives the Primary Lever Assembly (Left Arm and Club) and Sweet Spot through Impact. This Motion is anything but a 'gentle Stretching' of the Left Arm. Instead, it is a decisive -- even rigid (7-1) -- Thrust! that Uncocks both the Right Elbow and the Left Wrist. Make no mistake: It is the Basic Drive of the Hitter's Stroke. |
Right Forearm And Tricep -- Incubator Twins
Quote:
1. The Right Triceps is useless without the Right Forearm. And vice versa. 2. Nowhere in The Golfing Machine does Homer Kelley suggest that the Golfer use the Right Triceps consciously to produce the Major Basic Strokes. Instead, he uses the Magic of the Right Forearm and Elbow. 3. The Golfer also uses the Right Forearm to monitor the "dynamically in-line" On Plane Feel (2-F) and the Three-Dimensional Tracing of the Straight Plane Line (2-N-O). 4. While the six published editions of TGM do not contain the exact wording Right Triceps Thrust, the intent is clear. That intent is made certain in the unpublished 7th edition's revision to page 38. A new Paragraph Three reads as follows and should be written into your Book: "Power package Muscle Power is almost entirely Right Triceps Thrust straightening the Right Elbow to furnish both Extensor Action and #1 Accumulator Power." 5. Awareness of an Active Right Arm is achieved only through monitoring an Active Right Elbow (7-20). 6. The Hitter's fundamental Release Trigger is the Right Arm Throw (10-20-B). This pure Right Arm Push cannot be accomplished except by the Right Triceps and its instrument, the Right Forearm, and it cannot be monitored except through an awareness of an Active Right Elbow. |
Love That Starbucks!

First of all, regarding the word instrument, it was mine, not Homer's, so he's off the hook on this one. And, just checking my Webster, the first definition is: Instrument: a thing by means of which something is done. So, the Forearm is the means by which the Right Triceps does its Pushing work. I had already stated that truism in Item #1 of my post, and I see nothing controversial about it. If you can find a way to make your Right Triceps functional without the use of your Right Elbow and Forearm -- or vice versa -- then you're operating with different machinery than the rest of us! But, aren't you saying the same thing, i.e., that the Right Forearm is the Golfer's means of 'taking care of business?' For the life of me, I can't see the problem here. Regarding the Golfer's Feel localizing in the Right Elbow and Forearm (as opposed to in the originating Right Triceps) I don't think I could have been in more explicit agreement: Of course we Feel the Motion there. Look, I just reached for my coffee cup, and without a second thought: 1. My Right Hand had an assignment; 2. The Shoulder Deltoid took care of the initial Transportation of the Arm and Hand; and 3. My Right Triceps finished the job with an extension of the Right Elbow. Aaahh... Love that Starbucks! Finally, I have no problem with the Right Arm Swing. It is a bona fide catalogued TGM procedure practiced by many. Further, I have never labeled its proponents as Switters. Now, they may get a twinge in their Elbow now and again and have to hustle down to the nearest CVS for an arm band.... Oh oh. Shouldn't have said that... INCOMING!!! :D Just kidding, Dave. Homer Kelley thought the Right Arm Swing was "a beautiful procedure." I'll dig out some audio over the next couple of weeks and see if we can't get it up on the site. Thanks for your passion on this subject and keep it burning. We love ya man! |
A Tale Of Twin Twinges
Quote:
To your question, rrabick: Right Arm Swingers are more susceptible to Elbow pain because they have transferred the Center of their Stroke from the Left Shoulder to the Right Elbow. And Swinging from the Right Elbow puts a strain on the ligaments that is not present in the Straight Line Piston Action the Right Elbow makes in Left Arm Swinging or Right Arm Hitting. So, if you've got a pain in the Right Elbow, stop Swinging that Right Arm, and learn to Drive it instead. Left Arm Swingers can experience a similar Left Elbow problem if they attempt to Pull violently from the Top using Left Arm Muscle Power. That is because the Left Arm can only apply its Power backhanded, and its muscles therefore can make only a feeble contribution to the Stroke. If you attempt to use 'will' power to force the issue, you invite trouble. True Left Arm Power lies in its function as the Stroke Radius. And that Stroke Radius is not driven by the Left Arm itself, but by the Momentum Transfer of the Turning Body. So, if you've got pain in your Left Elbow, stop pulling so hard with that Left Arm. Instead, learn to accelerate it with your Pivot. Not only will you hit the ball much further and with more accuracy, you'll also be able to trash that arm band. |
