Stimulate what? Golf conversations can occasionally become very personal? This article is focused on ‘Stimulating Thought’ and conversation! Golf is a man’s thinking game!
What is our specific topic in this writing? It is predominantly ‘Mechanical’ in nature. It is about ‘Grip’ and those ‘Quiet Balanced Lever Triangles’ … Shoulders supporting two ‘Bend & Straighten Arms and a Golf Club. Thinking ‘Geometry’, our triangles are ‘Isosceles’… two equal length sides. We shall relate the discussion to ‘Putting’ but every golf tool involves two levers. Thus, this discussion is about our ‘Driver’ as well as the ‘Flat Stick and Dance Floor’.
There are three varieties of placement of hands on the ‘Handle’. 1) Hands and Finger Tips Level (Shoulders Level), 2) Brace Hand Low (Brace Shoulder Low – most common grip) and 3) Target Hand Low (Target Shoulder Low).
Importantly, your ‘Target Lever Assembly Grip controls 1) the ‘Clubhead’ (‘Club Face Aim’), 2) the ‘Bottom Of Swing Arc’ (BOSA) and provides 3) the ‘#4 Pressure Point’. (Pectoral Muscles pressing against the Target Biceps providing Horizontal or Round & Round Pressure).
Whether Target or Brace Hand Low method, your Club Head (Aim and BOSA) is controlled by the Target Hand and Swing Lever Assembly. The ‘Pivot Point is the ‘Target Shoulder Socket’. It is a ‘Primary Articulating Joint’ (PAJ) as are your Hips. ‘555 Students’ know this!
The Brace Hand (Lever Assembly) provides the ‘Sweeping Back & Up Motion’. Your Brace Shoulder is the ‘Stage One Putting and Small Chipping Motion Engine’. ‘Putting’ has ‘No Wrist Cock or Pivot’. When ‘Brace Hand Travel Distance’ (BHTD) increases to approximately the Shaft Level Condition, you shall activate natural ‘Wrist Cock’. (see ‘Stage Two Procedure’) As you transition back and up to the Target Lever Level Condition, you will have experienced ‘Pivot Loading … Coiling Of The Lower Body Machine’. (LBM)(see ‘The Progressive Process’)
