The Beauty of 12-5

[12 piece bucket]

For Maximum Power, both Hitter and Swinger need the mechanical advantage afforded by the Wristcock. The difference between the two is in how that Assembly is actuated: The Hitter uses the Right Elbow to Cock and Uncock the Left Wrist. The Swinger uses Centrifugal Force.

Regarding a "'max' #2 Accumulator," the Wrist is considered to be in a Cocked condition any time it moves beyond the Level (a straight line is formed from the wrist bone to the edge of the hand) to its maximum Cocked condition. It matters little how much that Wristcock varies from player to player. What is important is that if the Wrist is Cocked, it should be fully Cocked. This eliminates the 'wobble' inherent in the less-than-full condition.

Yoda,

I have been incubating the above on "maxing-out" the #2 Accumulator. Is this in the book? This is a significantly different feel for me. It is almost like a double shot of Extensor Action. If I Cock the Left Wrist 'til I can't no more, you are SPOT ON . . . the WOBBLE IS GONE!

With the fully-cocked #2, I can feel the #1 and #3 pressure points much more prominently. I guess based on the selected procedure you either Drive or Pull this structure down plane.

Is there any danger in "holding on" with this if you haven't had the max'ed out feel before?

Thanks!

The advice to fully Cock the Left Wrist to remove Power Package Wobble is not in the book. Instead, it is in the words of Homer Kelley himself in his GSEM Instructor training classes.

Regarding 'holding on' -- Steering per 3-F-7-A -- I see no danger. Remember, Wristcock is a Perpendicular Motion. It seeks Full Extension of the Left Arm and Club per 2-P. And trust me, either Centrifugal Force (Swinging) or Muscular Thrust (Hitting) is doing everything it can to make that happen!

Previously, we've discussed two ways to Zero Power Accumulator #3 (the angle formed by the Left Arm and Club).

1. Grip the Club in the cup of the Left Hand.

2. Fully Uncock the Left Wrist (Reverse Wristcock).

There is a third way...

Who knows what it is?

like Moe Norman. I tried it for 3 yrs and it frequently resulted in "fore left!!".

Thanks for your kind comments, pshr. We've got our first anniversary coming up on the 20th, and as we approach 2,000 members in only one year, we are grateful for what has come, but even more, we are excited by what lies ahead.

Regarding the 'third way' to Zero Power Accumulator #3, sorry ...

Moe's super-extended Left Arm was merely his way of effecting a Left Wrist Uncock (Zero alternative #2).

Still listening...

Who else would have a 'go' at the 'third way' to zero #3?

[SwingNorthtoSouth]

Would number 3 be to Not turn it to the plane.

run the club up the inside of the left forearm?

It is true that Turn and Roll emphasize the #3 Accumulator ('Half' Wrist Action per 10-18-C). And eliminating it would minimize the Action. However, it would still be there unless otherwise Zeroed.

No, milan. The technique you suggest only helps assure a Flat Left Wrist. And that condition -- whether Visual or Geometric -- is always present in a true #3 Accumulator Roll.
