Bucket: "2. Since the Left Arm moves up and down the chest, would the #4 pressure point not also MOVE?"
Yoda: "The #4 Pressure Point is applicable only on the Downstroke (after its Loading during the Start Down). Once welded in place by Pivot Lag, it does not move."
(According to me)
Here’s the feel:
Assume your address position without a club and without a right arm. From address, move your left arm two feet back with no pivot. This IS NOT the feeling of the loading of the #4 accumulator. Next, assume the address position again, but lift your left arm to shoulder height. Now, move your left arm across your chest. The #4 PP is welded higher (Ted’s words) and IS the feeling of the #4 PP. Once welded, the #4 PP DOES NOT move down during the downstroke. Now, place your right forearm flying wedge in support and use 10-14-B (slide with delayed turn). The (small) slide creates the tilt in the spine and starts the right shoulder on the downward path. For these very important reasons, the #4 PP can be ‘welded higher’ and still satisfy impact alignments.
Nice!!! HUGE feel difference . . .
Sticking with this . . . got the backstroke part, but still a little foggy on the downstroke.
I got you on the mandatory AXIS tilt and gotcha on the PP4 welded high. But what I ain't got is . . . #4 Accumlator Angle expands since it is the first in the 4,1,2,3 progression. Is it the Axis Tilt that is responsible for it's release or pivot thrust?
I guess my thinking is along this line . . . I used to be crippled by thinking that LAG was just HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE to the #2 Accumulator Angle. As we know that ain't right. Could it also be detrimental to NOT ALLOW the #4 angle to expand? I'm just trying to get in my mellon what is the actuator of this expansion and at what point in the stroke does it take place since it happens first.
