Golf is very much about an underlying balance between ‘Components & Procedures’. A bold example is the difference between the ‘Putter’ and the ‘Driver’. Another key difference is between the ‘Lower and the Upper Body Machines’. The ‘LBM involves the Axial Core while the UBM is about the tasking of the ‘Radial Levers’ … Arms, Hands and Golf Club triangles.
Let us spend a few productive moments considering our ‘Grip’, a distinct aspect of our ‘Lever Triangles’. The best ‘Grip’ is ‘The 10 Finger’ followed by the Vardon and Interlock.
Emphasis is often placed on the correct positioning of the Brace and Target Hands on the club handle so that the hands work together as a single unit. Is this nonsensical? To a degree, “YES!” Importantly, the Target Lever is ‘The Swing Lever’. In totality it controls the Clubface Aim via Grip and Extension (see ‘Bottom Of Swing Arc’ – BOSA – The distance from the Shoulder Socket and the Sole Of The Clubhead) This ‘Target Lever’ also provides the ‘#4 Pressure Point … The pressure applied by the ‘Target-ward Rotationally Advancing Thoracic Chest (Pectoralis Muscles). This physical reality enables ‘The Target Lever to Lead The Lagging Clubhead’ (see ‘Lag and Drag Pressure’) The Hands get to the ball before the ‘Trailing Sweet Spot’.
The ‘Brace Lever Assembly’ is ‘The Hitting Lever’. This tasking is accomplished by what your ‘555 Team’ refers to as ‘The Bend & Straighten Sequence’. This ‘Process or Procedure’ is quite similar to hammering a 3¼ common framing nail. It is ‘The Primary Velocity Generator’. The Brace Grip, via the #1, #2 and #3 Pressure Points control especially the ‘Race’ whereby the ‘Toe Passes The Heel Of The Clubhead’ through ‘Impact & Separation’. As you know, this movement is essential in creating the ‘Draw Hook Ball Flight Shape or Curvature’. The #2 Digital Segment of the Brace Index Finger applies Target-ward Rotation. It ‘Turns Over The Clubhead Toe’.
‘Grip Pressure’ is a key factor, that is sometimes overlooked. The harder one squeezes ‘The Brace Hand’, the more restrictive ‘Turning The Ball Over’ becomes. If ‘Snap Hooking’ troubles your tender psyche, might I suggest that you ‘Open The Clubface Aim’ (Weakening the Target Grip) as well as ‘Apply More Brace Handed Squeeze Pressure’? (Slowing the Spin Rate Motion)
