Here goes: Ted recently said to me that it didn't matter that he couldn't practice much; because his alignments are so good that when he does play, he plays well. That's what I was referring to. Gotcha. Per 2-J-1 IMPACT ALIGNMENTS The geometry of all alignments stems form the Impact geometry requirements. So what particular alignments are we talking about? First I think we should declare our intent. Per 2-0 our objective and intent is as follows: The Principle of Golf is the “Line of Compression.”The Mechanics of Golf is the production and manipulation of the “Line of Compression.”Precision is recognizing and reconciling minute differentiations.Briefly stated, it is necessary to find a way to compress the ball through a particular point along a particular line, and maintain this compression through the same particular point along this same particular line straight line, through the entire arc of the Impact Interval, and with geometrical precision for consistent control. So the items critical to the intent/objective presented above have been presented to us in exquisite detail by Mr. K via the science of relationships - Geometry. Some of the critcal alignments that have been provided are easy to find The STAR SYSTEM TRIAD: the Three Imperatives (2-0) applying the Three Functions (1-L-A/B/C) through the Three Stations (12-3). THE THREE IMPERATIVES 1. A “Flat” Left Wrist 2. A Clubhead Lag Pressure Point 3. A straight Plane Line THE THREE FUNCTIONS This Machine has three functions – to control A) the Clubshaft, B) the Clubhead and C) the Clubface. A. The Inclined Plane is Clubshaft Control – See 2-F and 4-0 B. The Pressure Points are Clubhead Control – See 2-K and 4-0 C. The Left Wrist is Clubface Control – See 2-G and 4-0 THREE STATION TOTAL MOTION A. Address B. Top C. Finish All well and good. But since the all proper alignments arrived from Impact Geometry, what alignments was Ted refering to? I'm not Ted but I would submit the many of the alignments are with regards to his Right Side: Right Forearm Flying Wedge executing an "underhanded" motion The Active Drive of Pressure Point #1 and the Indirect Drive of Pressure Point #2 A Cleared Right Hip An engaged Right Forearm Extensor Action via Pressure Point #1 A Right Shoulder Moving DOWN-PLANE with the required Axis Tilt A Right Foot that has not "popped up" from the ground A Right Ankle that is rolled A Right Hand that is executing Paddlewheel Motion vertical to the Inclined Plane A Bent Right Elbow moving to a straight Right Arm at Follow-Thur resulting in a fully uncocked Left Wrist (Full Lever Extension) A LEVEL BENT UNSTRESSED RIGHT WRIST A "Stump" of a Right Forearm in the Plane-Of the Clubshaft executing a strong DOWNWARD PUNCH against the Right Shoulder __________________ Aloha Mr. Hand Behold my hands; reach hither thy hand Last edited by 12 piece bucket : 03-29-2006 at 11:13 PM. 12 piece bucket View Public Profile Send a private message to 12 piece bucket Find all posts by 12 piece bucket
