A machine is more than the sum of it's parts. It's a means of using "Mechanical Advantage". Mechanical Advantage is the factor by which a mechanism multiplies the force applied to it.
The 24 components are just the "Parts". What they do...some create force, others apply mechanical Advantage. The Arms and Hands don't substitute for the force generated by the Pivot, they multiply it.
That is the Machine Concept.
I'm glad you are willing to hold me by the hand as this journey continues.
BTW - which ones create force and which ones apply mechanical advantage?
I'm glad you are willing to hold me by the hand as this journey continues.
hope i can hitch a ride with you guys. I don't yet have the book as i'm having to get it shipped from the US, but i will have it for reference just as soon as.
I understand completely what you are saying Air when you say that if you understand something you understand it & if you don't it is just words. I sense though that Daryl is probably presenting us with a pearl of knowledge here which will help us understand how & why other parts of TGM fit together.........
Quote:
A golfer can swing a Club with an Angular Force, so that the Ball responds as if a Linear Force has been applied. The secret to achieving this is “Hinging”. The result is a perfectly straight Ball Flight Path from a square stance, with a square plane line, and a parallel target line.
"the Hinge Action (2-G) of an Angular Motion (2-K) operating on an Inclined Plane (2-F)"
so we should probably try our best to get the significance of it. Is there further reading that might help 'get' this ?

Be my guest.
I wouldn't critize Daryl in any way. I'm glad he can stand ignorants like me and I hope the day may come that I understand the wisdom in TGM and what Daryl and other capacities like him are talking about. You can study this while you are waiting for the book: http://richie3jack.proboards.com/ind...d=tgmtranslate

Thanks for letting me aboard & i'll check out your link
It sounds like Daryl is suggesting that we keep
"the Hinge Action (2-G) of an Angular Motion (2-K) operating on an Inclined Plane (2-F)"
in mind as a corner stone of our knowledge about TGM.
My understanding of what he is saying so far is
Hinge Action - the way the left arm hinges at the left shoulder & this is the place where the angles release
Angular Motion - is the angles created by the wrists & club & also the right forearm & upper arm. The 'motion' being them going from angled to straight at the low point of the swing.
Inclined Plane - being simply that we are bent at the waist when we perform the golf swing giving rise to a plane that is like a pitched roof
The above post is a home-run post. It may be that fewer than 1,000 people on the Planet know this material. Now's your chance.
"the Hinge Action (2-G) of an Angular Motion (2-K) operating on an Inclined Plane (2-F)" can be written as "How to change a circle into a straight line while circling on an incline plane". ?? Ok I'm going to really take a hit on that one.

Sounds like you have a lot of talent for this stuff. But you must get Daryl's approval first.

It shows how many treasures are hidden in the older threads. I haven't seen this before. Impressive. Needs a lot of reading on my part.

Basic motion teaches you the #4 Accumulator, extensor Action Take-away, how the hands train the ‘Right Shoulder’ to drive the ‘levers’, ‘Hinge Action’, ‘three dimensional impact’, and much more.
In this exercise, you’re going to fan your right hand (Extensor Take-away) at start-up which will pull your straight left arm straight and also against your chest (#4 pressure point) and then use your right shoulder (part of both the Pivot and Power Package) to Drive against the #4 Pressure Point which will guide your arms and Hands and Club through impact without moving your arms and hands independently (the alignment of your hands and arms and shoulders at the end of your take-away do not change until your hands reach the line-of-sight to the ball).
Do not move your shoulders on the backswing to take the club back (especially your left shoulder). Only fan your right arm/hand. Feel your Left Shoulder and Torso resisting. Feel your Left Arm pressing against your chest at the end of the Take-Away. Trace the Plane-line during the Take-Away so that your hands stay on-plane (use a bench to rest the Clubshaft on and guide (teach) your hands to trace the Plane-line, a must for beginners) otherwise when your right shoulder moves toward the ball, your off-plane hands will have no chance. Train your Pivot (right Shoulder) to comply with the path that your hands need to be on (Hands controlled Pivot). Do not train the Pivot to steer off-plane Hands though impact (Pivot controlled Hands).
Do not move your head, hips, knees or feet.
Do tilt your right shoulder at address as you would for normal strokes.
At the end of the take-away, make your right shoulder move toward the ball in such a way and fashion that your hands (Clamped onto the Club) will move toward impact and after they enter your line of sight to the Ball, your Clubhead will strike the ball. This is known as training your right shoulder to move the Hands where the Hands want to go. Your Hands want to trace the Plane-Line. So, teach your Right Shoulder How to move so the Hands stay on track. Hitters can straighten the right Elbow as the Hands reach the Line of Sight to the Ball. Swingers will let the Right Elbow unbend naturally.
Once the Right Shoulder and Power Package are trained to move the Inert Hands, then you can apply more power by moving your right shoulder more forcibly.
Remember, that once the end of Take-away is reached and the Left arm is pressing against the chest, keep the pressure (#4 PP) as your right shoulder drives. Your right shoulder will propel the left arm away from your chest soon after the thrust begins.
Remember that your arms and hands don’t move forward independent of your right shoulder until your hands reach the line-of-sight to the Ball.
How many days will pass before I learn Basic Motion? Anywhere from 3 days to 30 days.

thanks Daryl looks like there is a mile of material in the 24 Basic Components forum to go with this home-run post
& i'm sold i now need to know the next instalment and tomorrow we will re-orient the hinge pin to see exactly how that occurs
Linear Mode
