"Homer is saying that if you delay too long then your hands won't have the time or distance necessary to reach maximum hand speed. "Maximum trigger delay noticeably restrict maximum handspeed..." is Homers way of saying it. He was a genius, don't expect that he said it that way for us to easily understand."

D,

I'm trying to understand this one as well...... is handspeed in 7-20 the velocity of the hands from top up to release, or is it speed of the hands during release?

Is Homer saying that in order to utilize max trigger delay (i.e. verrrry deep into the downswing prior to release) your handspeed has to be slower in order to be able to release and square up the head/face?

CG,

No.

Throw something across the room.

Your right Shoulder and Right Arm both move simultaneously. Your right shoulder moves 12 inches and your arm moves 36 inches for a total travel distance of 48 inches. Your handspeed was pretty fast and your arm was moving and your shoulder was moving at the same time.

Homer Kelley is saying that if you move your shoulder 36 inches and wait to move your move your arm, you only have 12 inches remaining distance, then your hand won’t be going as fast as in the first example.

If you delay moving your arm, then you don't have enough distance or time to reach reach your maximum handspeed in the 48 allowable inches.

The Distance from the Top of the Swing to The BAll is only just so far. The QUESTION is "When should You start your Release so that You can reach Your Maximum Hand Speed? .

A guy with really slow Hand Speed should start (Release) a little earlier so that he can reach his maximum handspeed and a guy with really fast hand speed can wait a little longer.

Just how fast are your Hands? If you can throw a Punch as fast as Ali, then your hands are pretty fast. If you throw a punch like Betty Boop, then get a Pink Ball.


If your Hands are Fast, Release Late. If your Hands are slow, then Release a Little Earlier.

Do you get it now?

But wait, There's more. If you have super fast hands and decide to release late because it's your God given right to use your Genetic endowment, the you better reduce your #3 Accumulator so that you can get the Clubhead around the Pulley in time before your hands finish the swing.

If you have very slow hands then you should release a little earlier and because you released earlier you may want to have More #3 Accumulator angle because you have more time available to get the clubhead to the ball and because of this you may use the Mass side of the equation and you might actually hit the Ball Farther than the Speedy Hand Demon.

Ya see: Tall, Short, Fast, Slow, Mechanics equalize the Playing Field. (Watch out for the Short Guy with High Hand speed with a Dark Tan)

Wait: There's still more. Most of the above mechanics apply to Hitters. Swingers, spin and use CF to straighten the Right arm. SO,,,if you're a fast spinner, then release late. If you're a slow spinner, release earlier.

Wait: one more thing. What do you do if you have fast hands and a lot of #3 Accumulator? Circle Path delivery. It will allow the #3 accumulator to get around the pulley. Homer had an answer for everything. He didn't give us the questions.
