I'm still confused on how "hitting the ball" with your right shoulder driving into PP4 is NOT considered a pivot controlled hands procedure. Most people on here are usually against that sort of feel - it's got to always be hands, hands, hands.
You talked about me rebuilding my total motion, starting with zone 1 and progressing to zone 3.
How long should I spend on each zone? A few days, a week, as long as it takes? I only have until April to get this finished if I commit to it.
I need to keep my mind in my hands and not in the club/clubhead. That's a given. An example: to prevent being underplane coming down, instead of trying to get the SHAFT steeper I try to get my WRISTS more vertical? Something like that?
I'm sure more questions will follow, but thanks for now.
R2D2,
Some things -- mercifully -- are not hard. Also mercifully, thisHands-Controlled Pivot business is one of them. It is the most natural thingin the world!
Say you see a dime in the parking lot tomorrow. You reach down and pick it up.Guess what? You just made a "Hands controlled" move! Yes youdid! And you didn't think a thing about it, either. Know why? Because, as Isaid, it is the most natural thing in the world to do!
You didn't think about your weight shifting. You didn't think about yourshoulers going down. You didn't thing about your arm extending. No. You didn'tthink about any of those things.
All you thought about was picking up that free money. Next million on the way.Only $999,999.90 to go! You reached down and picked it up. Your Hands made abee line for the dime because that's the assignment your Computer gave them.And everything else cooperated in exactly the right way.
That is all in the world Hand Controlled Pivot and Alignment Golf are allabout. The only problem is that Golf Stroke Geometry is more complex -- but nothopelessly so...we're still tracing straight lines as we make our circularTotal Motion. And, we are simply unfamiliar with that geometry. It takes workand effort understand the alignments and relationships involved. Not to mentionthat you're playing the smallest Ball in field sports, and it is veryunforgiving! [/b]
So, it just takes a while to train all those pieces (the Three Zones) toexecute their respective assignments without at least some of the other piecesinterfering. But learn them you will and then will come that glorious day whenyou will forget the Mechanics and play subconsciously by their Feel. And theywill have absolutely nothing better to do than to simply get out of the way ofthe Hands.
You will note in the Mechanical Checklist of 12-3-0 that there are no PivotComponents included. That is because this is an Alignment Checklist. Andusing this Checklist, the Pivot Components and actions are totally subjugatedto the control of the Hands.
Just like picking up that dime.
How long will it take? How good do you want to be? The better you want to bethe longer and harder and smarter you'll need to work. But no matter how hardyou work or how good you get, perfection -- even relative perfection -- willalways remain slightly beyond your grasp. And that is how it should be.
