Don't see a definition there. As to what "power" means, that depends. E.g., what "power binocular is that?". He should have defined power accumulator.
David, there is a succinct reference in the glossary:
“Golf - Loaded Accumulators are potential energy - The orbiting Clubhead is kinetic energy.”
In chapter 6 there are several other brief indications:
- Power accumulators are the out of line condition of power package components
- First power accumulator - hitter’s muscle power accumulator
- Second power accumulator - velocity accumulator
To make a long story short - creating angles (out of line conditions) between linked segments does not equal accumulating potential energy. The real reason for creating angles is actually very simple - it takes some finite time to accelerate a clubhead to high speed at impact.
Setting the various angles allows
-1- to have adequate length of arc for the clubhead, allowing time for the torque developing muscles to generate satisfactory speed for the clubhead at impact.
