I have a question about Quicktime. I've been using it because you have to on alot of sites, but are there any other alternatives that will play quicktime videos in your browser? I hate all the crap that it installs along with itself.

When I try to play it I get the QuickTime logo in the center of the page and then it shows the "Q" on what appears to be a paper that is torn. What up?

Brian -

At the risk of getting flamed for reopening an old thread, and in acknowledgment that I haven't even read the book in question (I assume the book is TGM), I have what is probably a dumb question.

Why isn't the pivot itself an accumulator?

Thanks,

Mark

It's the Fourth Accumulator.

Ah, okay...that's not how I heard it.

I thought I heard that the 4th accumulator was solely the left arm (for righties) swinging across the chest, and that this 4th accumulator then usually gets tied into a pivot to release the power. In fact, when Brian first demos the 4th accumulator on the ground, he specifically does it with no pivot.

My two cents... If the golfswing is a one after the other type of movement and the body initiates the movement (stepping on the right foot) to start the swing then on the downswing (stepping on the left foot) means in my mind that the left hip reaches a point where it receives the body weight and stops or slows down then the shoulder motion in the downswing is the next body part to slow down or stop, then the left arm etc. In my swing I feel like the left shoulder slows down because the left hip has slowed down.

Mark, it's possible I imagine that a few more accumulators could have been found and labelled. How about the vertical position of the head...so a squat move is releasing the body's potential energy...but this was not categorized by Kelley.

If someone were to do a happy gilmore swing, running up on the ball and moving through impact...Kelley did not categorize those energy/power inputs either.

Fair enough. I don't want to dwell on this one, since (though I'm new to all of this) I sense that the accumulators have been hashed and rehashed a thousand times at least. It just seemed odd to me that, of all things, the pivot wasn't explicitly called out as one of them. No big deal.

Mark, you need to have an angle for it to be classified as an Accumulator.

I always wondered why unhinging the lead wrist is not mentioned as an accumulator. Perhaps sometimes it is better to silence something out than to mention it and trying to convince the reader not to use it...;)
BTW, this "non-exisiting" accumulator is often used in long driving when the ball is high on a tee peg.

I thought the left wrist was an accumulator:confused:

Ya that's how it does work.

You start accelerating from the ground up..............and you brake from the ground up too. Excluding the arms and wrists, which come last. (they gain speed from you "hitting the brakes" with your pivot)

Each component "runs out of steam" ("thrust"?, "travel"?) from the ground up.

(untill it's time for the arms to swing across the chest and the wrists to unhinge)
