Review:

Typcial Manzella style. Takes something that is a mystery to most (not all) and easily confused and makes it easy enough so that a beginner could understand.

Thanks B!

Brian - you talk about the #3 Accumulator and the ANGLE of the #3 Accum. The #3 Accum IS the angle. You are also mistaken when you say Throwout is roll of the left hand/arm. A player can Swing without any left arm roll, but Throwout MUST STILL OCCUR if there was #3 at address and is not totally used up by excessive wrist uncocking. That's because at release the left flying wedge is on plane and unless the left hand/arm/shoulder move off plane to the left, the clubhead would move outside the plane line. That movement of the left arm to the inside via the left shoulder moving off plane IS Throwout. It's true that it usually blends into some left arm rotation, but that rotation is NOT the Throwout.

Joe,

STRAIGHTENING a BENT right arm is #1...UNCOCKING a COCKED left wrist is #2...ROLLING a TURNED left hand back to vertical is #3...The left arm going from ACROSS THE CHEST to 90 degrees from the chest in #4.

The #3 accumulator angle ONLY CHANGES the travel and therefore the potential power of #3.

If you try to EXPLAIN it any other way, this site will start to sound like the others.

Got it?

I know you know the book...but it is my job to explain it;)

First of all - "6-B-3-0. THE THIRD POWER ACCUMULATOR Power Accumulator #3 is formed by the angle established between the Clubshaft and the Left Forearm." That's from the book.

Second - when you're at the Summit, ask the little green guy if Throwout is left arm rotation.

THROWOUT is all about #2...left wrist cock, which is what I said on the video.

And as far as asking, my talk at the summit will be about how to teach everyone from Mrs. Fabersham to the Tour Pros, and any questions about it will be answered.

Hi Brian,
Great video and by far best explanation of the four accumulators that I've came across so far. As a previous poster said, "simple enough for a beginner to understand.", so a big "THANK YOU" from one of those beginners. The fog has definitely lifted as far as the accumulators is concerned! Great Work! Now to work on those pesky pressure points and the understanding of their application in regards to both hitting and swinging. LOL!
Regards,
Magic43

Way too good for the Golf Channel. Not enough B.S. either, too direct, correct, and interesting as well.
Does the train keep you up at night?
I'm eagerly awaiting the next backyard session. This is REALLY good stuff!

Guys, stop picking on the nitty gritty. Brian has produced a great video because there are now a lot more people who has an idea about what the heck an Accumulator is. Like I said before, if you want everything to be 100% on the spot exactly, Brian would just read the book out, and that, 1)wouldn't a lot of fun, 2) will not inspire further understanding from TGM newbies.

Anyway, having said all that, for those that are arguing about Rolling /Throwout Action, please look at digrams in 2-K#4/5. They both show the consequence of Throwout Action per paragraph 2 and 3 of 2-K. And what does the caption say in 2-K#5? Answer: "Left Wrist Flat, Level, Rolling" :).

Joe, I've been reading your posts about Accumulator #3 for the past week or so, and I really think that watching this video will improve your understanding of Accumulator #3 and "roll power control". (See about 1 minute 29 seconds into this video: http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/gallery/files/3-roll.wmv) The #3 accumulator angle itself doesn't provide any power whatsoever, but the rolling of that left forearm provides a lot of "rotational power" as Brian and Yoda both describe in their video clips.

vj,

You and Brian need to read the beginning of paragraph two in 2-K - "Rotation induces a Throw-Out action". That rotation is NOT left arm rotation, it's the spinning flywheel which produces CF which in turn produces Throw-Out. The turned left wrist is rolled to vertical at impact via CF, but Throw-Out is more than just that, it's also the movement of the left arm under-plane through impact also via CF. Left arm roll is not equivalent to Throw-Out. Throw-Out is "angle roll".

Great vid Brianski.

YOU da-man!

I like the clothes BTW....it's funny to see an instructor who knows so much to look normal......it's like Jim Belushi teaching TGM.

Great job. Keeping it simple is the way to go!

One question I have is isn't there interaction between the accumulators? For example the bending of the right elbow also cocks the left wrist so that one action creates 2 accumulators.
